Section 13 - Nitrogen Membrane Check
1.
First isolate the nitrogen generator from the fire protection system, by closing the ball valve located on the outlet
of the nitrogen storage tank. If no ball valve was installed, close the AMD valve installed between the sprinkler
system and the nitrogen generator.
2.
Record the time the nitrogen generator was isolated and the sprinkler system supervisory pressure. This will be
used to determine if there is a leak on the sprinkler system side.
3.
Close the Bypass Valve (Yellow Handle).
4.
Open the Nitrogen "Inlet" Valve (Blue Handle) and the Nitrogen "Outlet" Valve (Blue Handle).
5.
Exhaust the gas in the nitrogen storage tank by using the petcock on the bottom of the tank until the nitrogen
storage pressure is 60±3 PSI and the Nitrogen Solenoid light turns ON.
6.
Quickly close the petcock.
7.
Record the time it takes for the Nitrogen Solenoid light to turn off.
This should typically take 14 minutes for the NGP-1000D-M2 and 8 minutes for the NGP-1000D-M3.
8.
Check the membrane pressure gauge, it should be between 85-105 PSI.
9.
Open the Nitrogen Test Port Valve (Green Handle).
10.
Using a portable nitrogen analyzer check the nitrogen purity. The purity should read 98% or greater when the
pressure in the nitrogen storage tank reads at least 60±3 PSI.
Section 14 - Sprinkler System Leak Check
If no leak could be found in the nitrogen generator and the unit reaches its desired pressures in the allotted time, this indicates
the sprinkler system has a leak larger than the unit can handle in nitrogen generating mode. Isolate the fire sprinkler system
and see if the pressure drops. Nitrogen Generators are designed for 1.5 PSI leak over 24 hours per NFPA 13’s new sys-
tem leak rate, unless specified otherwise.
To keep system in service the unit can run in Bypass Mode while arrangements are made to fix sprinkler system leaks.
Note the unit will alarm if left in Bypass Mode for longer than 1 hour. This can be silenced by pressing the button on the
back of the Alarm Horn. A LED will light on the back of the Alarm Horn. If the alarm is reset, the light will go out, and the
Alarm Horn will sound if another alarm occurs.
