7.3. Stopping the System
To stop the system:
1. Close off the gas outlet valve on the nitrogen storage tank.
2. System will automatically stop once it reaches the cut-out pressure of approximately 65-75
PSIG.
3. In the case of an emergency shut off, push the On/Off toggle button on the upper left control
panel to the “Off” position. The unit will shut down immediately.

alarm will turn off once the handle is back to normal run position.
7.6. BlastOff
®
Alarm(
BLAsstoff

)
The system activates a BlastOff
®
Alarm when it detects potential leaks or nitrogen being overdrawn.
The “BlastOff
®
Leak Detection” is a patented feature which sends an alarm if it detects a possible gas
leak. The BlastOff
®
Alarm will trigger the audible buzzer, alarm contact, and flash “

on the
controller’s 7
-segment display, and dry contact connectio
n to the “Building Management
System’s (BMS)”. Power cycle the unit to reset the alarm, but avoid doing this multiple times without
finding the cause as it will shorten the generator’s life.
