Replace front and rear panels before proceeding.
4.4. Choosing an Installation Location
This equipment is not suitable for use in any hazardous, ammable, or explosive environments.
Keep the generator away from excessive heat and open flame.
The accumulation of nitrogen can displace oxygen thereby creating an asphyxiation hazard.
Always ensure that the equipment is operated in a well-ventilated area.
Locate the generator as close to the instrument as possible following the requirements given below:
4.4.1. Environmental & Space Requirements
The generator is for indoor use only. Do not install outdoors. The generator must be installed
in a climate-controlled room, meeting the environmental specications set in Section 3.2.
It is critical that nothing is placed within 12 inches of the exhaust vent, located at the left rear
side of the generator. An optional Vent Kit is available to route exhaust heat away from the
generator, see Section 8 for purchasing information.
Do not install the generator where hot exhaust air from other equipment may be drawn into
the intake at the rear of the generator. The area should be free of excessive dust, toxic or
flammable gases, solvent fumes, and moisture.

4.4.2. Tubing Requirements
Temperature or humidity variation along the length of tubing may affect gas purity. When possi-
ble, avoid placing the generator in a separate room and running tubing through walls and ceilings.
When tubing is open to atmosphere, it’s recommended to purge the lines before connecting to the
instrument.
Additional generator-approved tubing is available from Parker Hannin. Any tubing used must be
phthalate-free. Use of non-approved tubing may reduce gas purity. See Section 8 for ordering
details.
4.4.3. Electrical Supply Requirements
Parker supplies a step-up transformer for installations where the voltage may drop below
195VAC and a step-down transformer if the facility voltage may reach 255 VAC or higher. See
Section 8 for ordering details.
Do not position the equipment so that it is difcult to operate or disconnect the plug from
the electrical supply. The equipment is connected to protective earth (ground) through
the power cord. It is essential that electrical supply is equipped with a protective earth
(ground) terminal. Do not use alternative power cords.
Location of the generator with proper ventilation is critical. Install the generator in a clean, well
ventilated area. To provide adequate ventilation and access for service, a minimum of 6 inches
clearance is required behind the generator (see Figure 11). Fresh intake air enters from un-
derneath the generator at the rear. Warm exhaust air exits from the left, rear side, which must
always be kept clear. A minimum of 12 inches clearance is required on the left side of the
generator (see Figure 11).

the designated power supply. See Section 3.2 for further details on the electrical
requirements.
2. Press the green POWER button on the front panel of the generator. The generator will start,
and the green LED will illuminate while the motor ramps up to its maximum speed.
3. Open the cover of the Pressure Control Panel on the top of the generator by pressing down to
release the latch to read the TANK PRESSURE gauge. The generator should reach a steady
state pressure of 115 psig in about a minute. Note: the speed of the motor at normal opera-
tion will vary depending on pressure and ow demands and will not always need to run at full
speed.
4. Pull up on the pressure regulator knobs to unlock them. One at a time, adjust the pressure
regulators to 20 psi.
5. Ensure that the outlet tubing is disconnected from the instrument to perform the initial purge
and allow the generator to reach operating temperature. Slowly turn the yellow valve handles
at the rear of the generator, approximately 10°-20° so that gas is venting to atmosphere. Allow
the gases to purge for an hour, then close the valves.
6. Connect the tubing to the instrument but do not open the valves on the generator.
7. Adjust the pressure regulators to the instrument specications.
Figure 13 Figure 14
Perform this Start-Up procedure upon initial receipt of the generator and any time the generator
is being restarted from cold. Purging the lines and allowing the generator to reach operating
temperature are critical in ensuring gas purity.

8. Slowly, fully open the valves to allow the ow of gas to the instrument.
9. As the instrument begins to draw gas from the generator the readings on the pressure gauges
may change. Adjust the gas pressures as needed using the regulator knobs.
10. Once the pressure is set, press down on the regulator knobs to lock them in place. If the
pressure needs to be adjusted in the future, pull up on the knobs to unlock them.
5.2. Shutting Down the Generator
1. Ensure that gas is no longer required by the instrument. Keep the yellow outlet valves open.
2. Switch the generator off by pressing the green POWER button.
3. Depressurize the system:
a. PREFERRED METHOD: Wait at least 20 minutes for the generator to depressurize.
b. QUICK METHOD (~2 Min): Unplug the generator from the wall. Open the front panel by
loosening the two retaining screws at the bottom. Next, slightly loosen the two brass bleed
screws on the bottom of the two right-most blue lters. DO NOT FULLY REMOVE THE
BRASS BLEED SCREWS. See Figure 14 below for clarication. When the tank pressure
gauge reads zero, tighten the brass bleed screws.
4. Disconnect the power cord from the supply. Fully close all 3 outlet valves using the yellow valve
handles. The generator is now fully shut down and ready for transportation or service.
5. To transport the generator:
a. Disconnect the tubing from the instrument’s inlets and the generator’s outlets. Disconnect
the drain tube assembly and the power cord from the generator. Reinstall the shipping
brackets as shown in Section 4.3.
b. Unlock the casters and move the generator using at least two people.
