Start Up Procedures
Prior to attempting to run the Oxygen Generator it is important to check to
connections that have been made to it. Make sure that they are all tight as leaks will be
detrimental to the generator’s performance and increase your operating expenses.
Also be sure to review the ‘Setup Instructions’ (pages 15-16) before starting the
unit to be sure that all connections have been made properly. If your system does not
respond as described below check the contact our facility for possible causes and fixes.
1.) Start Your Air Compressor -
Allow it fill its surge tank to at least 90 PSIG (620 kPa) before starting the generator.
2.) Open the Ball Valve that Supplies Air to the Generator (if you have one in place) and
Check the Regulated Feed Air Pressure Gauge (on the left side of the Generator) -
The regulated feed air pressure gauge should read about 70 PSIG (480 kPa).
3.) Turn the Generator Control Switch to ‘Continuous’ -
This turns the unit on and begins the generation process. The light inside the switch will
always be on as well. For the first 5 seconds the filter bowl drain will open and
condensation or material trapped in the bowl will be blown out the drain valve on the
bottom of the cabinet. If after 5 seconds air is not blowing out the filter drain, then
manually depress the filter drain push button on the lower left-hand side of the cabinet
until the bowl is completely empty of fluid. This drain will vent for 5 seconds every 15
minutes while the unit is operating.
If this is the first time the generator is being run or it has not run for a few days, the
Oxygen Storage tank will be full of air. Oxygen will fill the tank but since it is being
mixed with the air that was trapped in it at the start of operations the oxygen purity will
be less than optimal. This problem is easily corrected and can be avoided in the future
if proper shut down procedures are used.
To correct this allow the surge tank to reach 50 PSIG (345 kPa) (the gauge on the right
side of the machine will indicate storage tank pressure). This will take only a few
minutes depending on the production capacity of the generator and storage tank size
you have. Once this pressure is reached vent oxygen from the tank for about 5 minutes
or until the storage tank pressure drops to about 40 PSIG (280 kPa).
Caution: While Venting the Tank Make Sure There Is No Smoking Or
Open Flame within 10 Feet of the Generator and Do Not Allow
Venting Oxygen To Come In Contact With Any Clothing!!
After venting the tank the switch can be turned to ‘Automatic’.
