Sprinkler System Air Maintenance Device Pressure
The proper operation of the nitrogen generator and the dry pipe nitrogen inerting (DPNI) process is
dependent on the sprinkler system’s air maintenance device (AMD) pressure setting. Sprinkler system
AMD pressure settings less than 3 psig (.2 bar) above the nitrogen generator cut-in (turn-on) pressure or
greater than 5 psig (.3 bar) above the nitrogen generator cut-in (turn-on) pressure will have an adverse
effect on the service life of the nitrogen generator.
Verify the AMD pressure setting using the Air Maintenance Device Pressure Adjustment Procedure
(section 6.f.) in the Maintenance Section of this manual.
Nitrogen Generator Pressure Settings
Prior to setting the cut-in (turn-on) and cut-out (turn-off) pressures of the nitrogen generator, identify the
following sprinkler system pressures:
1. Sprinkler system operating pressure/Air Maintenance Device (AMD) pressure.
NOTE: When the nitrogen generator is connected to multiple dry pipe and preaction systems,
the fire sprinkler systems must operate at the same supervisory gas pressure.
2. Sprinkler system low air alarm pressure.
Once the sprinkler system pressures have been identified, determine the cut-in (turn-on) and cut-out
(turn-off) pressures of the nitrogen generator.
1. The nitrogen generator cut-in (turn-on) pressure is to be 3-5 psig (.2-.3 bar) below the sprinkler
system operating/AMD pressure.
2. The nitrogen generator cut-in (turn-on) pressure needs to be 3-5 psig (.2-.3 bar) above the
sprinkler system low air alarm pressure.
3. The nitrogen generator cut-out (turn-off) pressure is preset from the factory at 85 psig (5.9 bar)
which should be adequate for most applications. Should a higher cut-out (turn-off) pressure be
needed, adjust the cut-out (turn-off) pressure using the cut-out (turn-off) pressure adjustment
procedure.
