1.2 ABOUT SOUTH-TEK SYSTEMS
South-Tek Systems, founded in 1997, is a nitrogen generator manufacturer, designing and producing nitrogen
generating systems for worldwide distribution.
Why not generate nitrogen at your own facility for a fraction of the cost versus endlessly paying for bulk liquid or
delivered gas cylinders? We manufacture a full line of nitrogen generating equipment including:
The N2GEN®Series Nitrogen generators for use in various industrial and lab applications. 50,000 SCFH unit.
The BeerBlast™- Mixed Gas Dispense System Increases profits, eliminates over or under carbonation, and
improves all-around taste and draft beer quality.
The N2-Blast®- Corrosion Inhibiting System Effectively arrests electrochemical, galvanic and micro-biologically
influenced corrosion (MIC) by introducing 99.9995% pure nitrogen into dry and preaction sprinkler systems.
With purities ranging from 95% up to 99.999%, we provide nitrogen generators that are sure to suit your needs. For
more information about our complete nitrogen generator capabilities, please visit www.southteksystems.com.
1.3 AUDIENCE
This manual is intended for Installer/Equipment Operator/Supervisory Staff and should be read in its entirety prior to
operation. Please contact South-Tek Systems for any operation and maintenance questions. Please contact your local
distributor provider for any operation and maintenance first prior to contacting the manufacturer.

serial number, from South-Tek Systems. No items will be accepted for service or credit unless prior written
authorization has been issued by South-Tek Systems.
All items are to be returned with the original packaging material if possible. Make sure that all items are
packaged for safe return to South-Tek Systems. South-Tek Systems will not be responsible for damages,
which occur in transit. Any damage that occurs to the system because of failure to adhere to this procedure
will be the sole responsibility of the customer. Contact South-Tek Systems for a return shipping address.

2SAFETY GUIDELINES
The following section outlines the basic safety considerations regarding installation and operation of the Quick-
Check. For additional safety information regarding other equipment used in conjunction with the Quick-Check, such

Quick-Check PowerSaver Manifold 10 & 20 Port South-Tek

as air compressors, dryers, boosters, etc., please refer to individual manufacturer recommendations and safety
guidelines.
2.1 GENERAL SAFETY PRACTICES
Correct use of the Quick-Check PowerSaver Manifold is important for your personal safety and for trouble-free
functioning. Incorrect use can cause damage to the Quick-Check PowerSaver Manifold or can lead to incorrect gas
supply.
The Quick-Check analyzes nitrogen (N2) at a low flow rate, which quickly dissipates into the air when exhausted. N2
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.
Read carefully and act accordingly before installing, operating, or repairing the unit.
•Operator must use safe working practices and rules when operating the Quick-Check.
•The owner is responsible for keeping the unit in safe operating condition at all times.
•Always use approved parts when performing maintenance and repairs. Make sure that replacement parts
meet or exceed the original parts’ specification.
•Only authorized, trained, and competent individuals are allowed to perform installation, operation,
maintenance, and repair.
•Completely isolate incoming and outgoing pressures to the generator, and make sure to depressurize the
service/repair section prior to performing any mechanical work, including changing the filters. The
nitrogen generator’s exhaust gas and/or any venting gas must be vented to the outside or to a large, well-
ventilated room to avoid suffocation due to lack of oxygen.
•Safety glasses should be worn if the cabinet door is open while the machine is operating.
WARNING: Pressurized gases are contained within the generator, the receiver, and product tanks. Pressurized gases
are dangerous and may cause injury or death if handled or used inappropriately.
•Never allow pressurized gas to exhaust from an unsecured hose. An unsecured hose may exhibit a
whipping action, which can cause serious injury. If a hose should burst during use, immediately close all
isolation valves if it is safe to do so and power down the unit.
•Always make certain that the Quick-Check is disconnected from the supply power prior to performing any
electrical work.
2.2 SAFETY INFORMATION
Nitrogen is not poisonous but it should not be directly inhaled, since in high concentrations, it can cause
asphyxiation. Ensure that 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 Quick-Check PowerSaver Manifold must
follow safe working practices, OSHA, and local health/safety code regulations during the installation, operation, and
maintenance of the unit.
Warning:
•This manual must be read in its entirety prior to installing and operating the Quick-Check PowerSaver
Manifold to prevent accidents and damage to the equipment.
•Contact your supplier if you detect a problem that you cannot solve with this manual.
•Only use the PowerSaver Manifold in accordance with its designed purpose.
•Only service-engineers, that are qualified to work on electric and pneumatic equipment, can do the
installation, maintenance, and repairs. Unqualified people are not allowed to repair the equipment.
•Do not tamper or experiment with the equipment or exceed the technical specifications
3PRODUCT INSTALLATION
3.1 UNPACKING AND PREPARATION
The Quick-Check PowerSaver 10 or 20 Port Manifold will arrive in a cardboard box. Identify and verify that all parts
listed on the packing list are present and undamaged. Ensure that all parts to connect to the AutoPurge System (APS)
are with the unit. South-Tek Systems is not responsible for damages that have occurred during shipping and
handling of the N2-BLAST. Any visual damages should be immediately documented and reported to the shipping
company responsible. Contact STS at [phone] to assess the damages only after the shipping company has
been notified.

Until Installation:
Store the Quick-Check in a dry and climate controlled (60-80°F) room.
Always keep Quick-Check in a safe place / or in box as shipped.
Do not connect power until manual has been read completely and all connections are made as stated
within.
Keep all pipes and APS lines dry so moisture does not enter Quick-Check upon hookup.
Never place/stack objects on top of the Quick-Check.
3.2 STORAGE INSTRUCTIONS
If the unit is not to be installed until a later date, a safe dry storage location is needed - preferably inside a controlled
environment. Place desiccant packets into the electrical cabinet to keep moisture from damaging the electronics. Do
not store around moving objects that could fall or damage the unit. If the unit is kept in storage for an extended time
(over 1 month), then the Oxygen Fuel Cell/Analyzer (if included) should be removed, sealed off, and stored in a
controlled environment.
3.3 ELECTRICAL REQUIREMENTS
Power supply must be 110 V or 220 V / 1 ph / 50 - 60 Hz as labeled on the unit.
Operating amp draw is less than 3 amps. The Quick-Check must be hardwired unless otherwise specified in the
customer installation drawings. The internal control panel is a UL 508A Open Industrial Control Panel approved with a
7 Amp time delay fuse. Electronic copy of the electrical schematic is available upon request.
Note: Always obey all local and site codes to finalize power connection to the equipment.
4SYSTEM DESCRIPTION
4.1 KEY FEATURES
