INTRODUCTION
PURPOSE
The
N
2
-BLAST®
FPS-650 and FPS-1250, provide an economical, precise
means of generating high purity Nitrogen. Since air is comprised of ~79%
N
2,
the N2 Generator is a simple and cost-effective way to separate the N
2
from the air. Nitrogen is an inert gas (non-combustible) and widely used in
thousands of industries along with Fire Protection Systems. The N
2
is
“generated” by means of the air compressor pushing air into the simple, safe
filtering vessels, which in turn mechanically separates N
2
molecules from
other molecules found within air.
**The installer and the user should read this manual in its entirety.
AUDIENCE
This manual is intended for Installer/Supervisory Staff and should be read in
its entirety prior to operation.
Please contact your local distributor provider for any operation and
maintenance first prior to contacting the manufacturer.
IMPORTANT INFORMATION
All personnel (and their supervisors) installing, operating, and maintaining
the
N
2
-BLAST®
must read and fully understand this manual prior to
installing, operating or performing maintenance on the system.
The
N
2
-BLAST®
produces Nitrogen (N
2
) at a low flow rate, which quickly
dissipates into the air. N
2
gas is not poisonous but the gas should not be
directly inhaled since in high concentrations it can cause asphyxiation.
Ensure the unit is installed within a well-ventilated room, one that is not
sealed off from normal living space air changes.
All personnel involved with installation, operations, and maintenance of the
N
2
-
BLAST®
must follow safe working practices, OHSA, and local
health/safety code regulations during the installation, operation, and
maintenance of the unit.
