Power - The Parker Balston Zero Air Generator may be operated by a 120 VAC, 220 VAC, 230
VAC, or 240 VAC, 50/60 Hz power supply. Main supply voltage fluctuations must be within
±10% of the niminal main supply voltage. The generator is shipped with a tag at the power
receptacle which specifies the factory setting of the voltage selector. For optimal performance
of the generator, the operator should set the voltage selector to match the local power supply.
To change the setting on the voltage selector, simply remove the selector/fuse drawer from the
receptacle using a small screwdriver, turn the selector so the desired voltage shows in the window,
and reassemble. To connect the generator to the power supply, simply plug the female end of the
electrical cord into the receptacle on the right side of the generator, and the opposite end into a
three-pronged earthed power receptacle.
Before plugging power cord into power receptacle, check the voltage selector setting. The
voltage setting must match the local power supply voltage. (Note: "NA" versions of the
generator are designed for 120 VAC operation only.)
Deionized Water - The FID 1000 and FID 2500 / hydrogen must be supplied with deionized water
with a resistivity of at least 5 Meg-Ohm/cm. Parker Balston provides a point of use accessory, the
HydroGen Mate (P/N 72-230 or 72-231) that provides high purity water (>5 Meg-Ohm/cm) from tap
water for manual filling or autofilling the generator.
Resin Bed - FID gas stations are supplied with a resin bed to be installed in the water fill reservoir.
This is to ensure proper water quality is being supplied to the Hydrogen system. A message on
the front display reading "check resin bed or 75% usage" is a reminder to occasionally check resin.
It needs to be replaced only if color has changed to orange on more than 75% of the cartridge.
To install resin bed, remove water bottle cap. Remove resin cartridge from sealed bag and set
resin in bottle. Screw cap securely on water bottle (see Figures 4 and 5).
Caution: Cell contamination is a cumulative and irreversible process which will eventually
cause an over-voltage fault, automatically shutting down the generator. The deioniser resin
bed is for a final decontamination stage and should not be used to purify low grade water.
