FPS-500 includes a built-in air compressor to supply gas to the nitrogen generator. It is
not for performing quick fills. Please install a separate suitable air compressor for other needs.
4.2. Additional Piping and Hosing
Sourcing and installing additional plumbing, supplied by other manufacturers, must meet all
the unit’s
flow, pressure, and temperature requirements. If piping length between any equipment is greater than
50 feet, consult with a piping contractor for proper line size.
4.3. Electrical Requirements

-BLAST
®
FPS-500 requires 120VAC / 50-60hz / 1ph and draws < 8A. A 240VAC option is also
available. It has a built-in 15A over-current protection device and comes with Terminal strip for the
electrical connection (unless otherwise specified). It comes with UL 508A ICP certification, and the
electrical schematics are available upon request.
4.4. Site Specifications
Unless designed otherwise, install in a nonhazardous indoor location with temperatures between 40-
100°F (4°- 38°C). For ease of maintenance, troubleshooting, and minimizing pressure drop, install the
equipment in the same area. Leave enough space around the generator and other equipment for
routine maintenance.
