If the unit is to be idle for more than 24 hours, the generator should be turned off.
Parker recommends allowing the FID 1000 and FID 2500 Generators to run continu-
ously, shutting down the unit only when compressed air is not available or when the
generator requires servicing. The continuous operation of the generator maximizes the
life of the catalyst heater as well as the Electrolytic Proton Exchange Membrane Cell.
To shut down the Parker Balston FID Gas Station, turn the power switch to the OFF position.
Maintain the compressed air flow through the unit for at least 10 minutes to improve heat dis-
sipation. After 10 minutes, turn off the compressed air supply to the generator.
Warning: Do not supply electrical power to the generator until the compressed air flow
rate through the unit is at the rated capacity (see Specifications section, page 18). Op-
erating the generator for extended periods of time without compressed air will damage
the heater within the catalyst module and void the warranty.
To store the unit:
1 Turn the FID 1000 or FID 2500 OFF and allow the Hydrogen gas to purge slowly until
all the internal gas is removed.
2 Cap the Hydrogen outlet on the back of the generator or leave it connected
to the downstream equipment.
3
Fill the DIO Reservoir at least half full with deionized water. Make sure that the cell
has at least 2" (5cm) of water showing in the cell assembly tube. This can be viewed
through the vents in the back panel.
4 Remove the desiccant cartridge and store in a moisture proof container.
5 Check the water level in the cell every 6 months to maintain the 2" (5cm ) height.
Contact The Technical Services Department at 800-343-4048 for a Return Authorization (RA)
number and new Packaging if the original is no longer available.
1 Purge and bleed the FID 1000 or FID 2500 of all compressed air and hydrogen. Wait
until the outlet pressure display reads zero.
2 Drain the water from the DIO reservoir using the Water Drain Port Insert (connected
to a 3' length of 3/8" OD tubing) and connect it to the drain port located on the
back panel. Drain the deionized water into a 4 liter container.
3 Press down on the metal tab on the top of the Water Drain Port Connector to remove
the Drain Port Insert and Tube once the unit has been drained.
4 Remove the desiccant cartridge and store in a moisture proof container. Cover the
side port on the inside of the desiccant cartridge with tape and replace the cap.
5 Pack the generator carefully in the original packing box or request new
packaging from Parker. Be sure to display the RA # on the outside of the box
for prompt response.
In order to maintain the warranty on the generator, ship the unit in a manner that will
prevent freezing. Freezing conditions will cause irreparable damage to the hydrogen cell as-
sembly.
