SAFETY GUIDELINES
The following section outlines the basic safety considerations about installation and operation
of the
N2-BLAST
®
FPS-500. For other equipment used with the nitrogen generator, such as air
compressors, and dryers, refer to the manufacturer’s safety guidelines.
2.1 GENERAL
Using the N2-BLAST
®
FPS-500 correctly is important for safety and trouble-free operation.
Wrong use can cause damages to the system or can lead to incorrect gas supply. The nitrogen
generator produces nitrogen at a low flow rate, which quickly dissipates into the air. Nitrogen is
not poisonous, but do not directly inhaled, since high concentrations, can cause asphyxiation.
Install the unit in a well-ventilated room, unsealed off from normal living space air changes.
Warning: Install the unit in a within a well-ventilated room, one that is not sealed off from
normal living space air changes.
Read carefully and act accordingly before installing, operating, or repairing the unit:
•
The operator must use safe working practices and rules when running the nitrogen generator.
• The owner is responsible for always keeping the unit in safe working conditions.
• Always use approved parts when performing maintenance and repairs. Make sure that
replacement parts meet or exceed the original parts’ specication.
• Only competent individuals, train and authorized, can install, operate, perform
maintenance and repair.
• Isolate incoming and outgoing pressures to the generator, and depressurize the service
or repair section before performing any mechanical work, including changing the lters.
Vent the nitrogen generator’s exhaust gas outside or to a large, well-ventilated room to
avoid suffocation due to lack of oxygen.
• Wear safety glasses if the cabinet door is open while the machine is running.
