SYSTEM USAGE
INSTRUCTIONS
The FPS-650 and FPS-1250 is intended to be used to generate Nitrogen, and
provide nitrogen for the fire protection piping system. Follow the installation
instructions above and only use in an approved environment. The generator
generates enough nitrogen to maintain zone pressure requirements. Please
consult with your local provider for questions not answered in this manual.
The system is design for 24-hour operation, but routine maintenance on the
filters must be performed. See section “System Maintenance” for detail
maintenance instructions.
ALARM NOTIFICATION
Filter Alarm:
All FPS-650 and FPS-1250 comes standard with a “Filter Alarm” notification.
The controller will display “
FILtr
” message in red when the filter change is
overdue. It is recommended that the filters be changed once every year or
every 1000 hours, whichever comes first. See section “System Maintenance”
for detail maintenance instructions.
BlastOff™ - Leak Detection System Alarm
An optional feature that can be included with the system is the BlastOff™ -
Leak Detection System. It is a patented system when installed into the FPS-
650 and FPS-1250 detects line leaks within the downstream gas lines from
the N2 Generator to the FPS piping. Line leaks could be due to pin hole leaks
in the pipe lines, loose fittings, faulty connection, etc. These leaks are
potential safety hazards, they can cause the nitrogen to deplete quickly, and
could cause your FPS-650 and FPS-1250 to run in excess (decreasing the
life of the unit).
Once a leak has been detected, the BlastOff™ is set to initiate a buzzer,
displays “
b ōFF
” in red on the controller screen, and shuts off the FPS-650
and FPS-1250 until the problem has been remedied. To reset the BlastOff™,
simply turn off the FPS-650 and FPS-1250 and turn it back on. The FPS-650
and FPS-1250 can be ordered with the BlastOff™ System Factory installed or
the system can be retrofitted in the field. Some rewiring is required to field
install.
Never reset repeatedly; if the BlastOff™ goes off daily, there is a potential
issue. Consult your installer for a solution. The label on the next page will be
on your FPS if factory installed.
