Installation Instructions
Installation of the ECS AdvancedIQ Nitrogen Generator requires six (6) steps:
1. Mount the cabinet in the appropriate location.
NOTE: Nitrogen Generator cabinet includes an integral compressor that may cause vibration
induced noise carryover to adjacent areas.
2. Connect the dedicated power supply to the cabinet.
3. Plumb the nitrogen/air supply line to the dry pipe and/or preaction sprinkler risers being served.
4. Plumb the condensate drain line to floor drain or building exterior.
5. Connect the nitrogen generator to the internet via ethernet cable connection, where applicable.
6. Connect nitrogen generator output signals to BMS or fire alarm system, where applicable.

1. Ensure an appropriately rated disconnect switch and circuit breaker (minimum 15 Amps and a
Short Circuit Current Rating (SCCR) of 5 kVA) are installed in a suitable and accessible location in
accordance with the applicable national and/or local codes (i.e. NFPA 70).
2. The circuit breaker and disconnect are to be easily identifiable as associated with the equipment.
3. Ensure the ground wire is properly connected to the ground terminal(s) of the equipment using
appropriately sized ground wire.
Step 1: Mounting the nitrogen generator cabinet
The Nitrogen Generator is designed to be mounted directly to the wall at the appropriate location. The
Nitrogen Generator can be mounted to the floor using the floor mount leg accessory kit. Several factors
should be considered in choosing the proper mounting location for the nitrogen generator:
• Noise and Vibration concerns in adjacent areas
• Access to required power supply (dedicated circuit)
• Access to building monitoring connections and internet connection (where applicable)
• Access to sprinkler risers being supplied from nitrogen generator
• Access to drain for the condensate discharge line
• Clearance in front of the unit to open the cabinet door and for servicing the equipment
• Cleanliness of the environment and air intake
