Pressure
Regulator
Gas
Outlet
Gauge
Verify the Gas Valve on the Nitrogen Gas
Bottle is closed.
Verify the Gas Pressure Regulator is closed
and the Shut Off Valve at the end of the
hose is closed.
Attach the NCA to the Nitrogen Gas Bottle.
Open the Valve on the Nitrogen Gas Bottle.
Verify there is sufficient gas pressure in
the Nitrogen Gas Cylinder by checking the
Inlet Gauge on the NCA. Do not use Gas
Cylinders less than 20 bar.
Shut
Off
Valve
Slowly open the Gas Pressure Regulator.
If the Gas Bottle Pressure as indicated on
the NCA Input Gauge is above 35 bar, set
the Regulator to 35 bar as indicated on the
Output Gauge. If the Gas Bottle Pressure
is between 20 and 35 bar, set the Regulator
to 20 bar.

Pre-filling the Gas Booster and setting
Gas Booster Output Pressure:
Quick
Disconnect
Fitting
Connect the Quick Disconnect Fitting on
the end of the NCA hose to the Gas Inlet
Fitting on the Gas Booster.
Verify the Shut Off Valve at the end of the
hose is closed.
Air Valve
Open the Valve on the end of the NCA
hose to pre-fill the Gas Booster. The Gas
Booster Output Pressure Gauge will read
the same pressure within Gauge Tolerances
as the NCA Output Gauge when the prefilling is completed.
Air Regulator
Verify the Gas Booster Air Valve and Air
Regulator are closed.

User’s Guide
Connect regulated shop air to Gas Booster
Air Input Connection. The maximum
recommended air line supply pressure is
7 bar.
Note: Customer to supply air connection.
The air connection must have a ¼ NPT
male for installing in the Air Shut-Off
Valve.
Air Input
Connection
Open the Gas Booster Air Valve.
Output
Pressure
Gauge
Increase air pressure using Gas Booster
Air Regulator. The Gas Booster will
cycle, increasing nitrogen output pressure.
Slowly increase air pressure until desired nitrogen output pressure is indicated on the Gas Booster output pressure
gauge.
Close Air Valve on Gas Booster.

Valve
Pre-filling the Gas spring or Manifold
system:
Attach the Gas Booster Charging Hose
Quick Disconnect to the Gas System control
panel or gas cylinder service fitting to be
charged.
If attaching to a Gas System, verify that
exhaust valve on the control panel is
closed.
Open the Shut Off Valve at the end of
the Gas Booster Charging Hose to pre-fill
the Gas System. The pressure indicated
on the Output Pressure Gauge may
drop to zero. This is normal and it is not
necessary to change the Air Regulator
setting. The Gas Booster Output Gauge
will read the same pressure within gauge
tolerances as the NCA output gauge
when the pre-filling is completed.
Air Valve
Charging the Gas Spring or Manifold
System:
Open the Air Valve on Gas Booster. The
Gas Booster will cycle, increasing Gas
Output Pressure. Do not change the Air
Regulator setting.

Nitrogen Gas Booster
Air Valve
Slowly open Shut Off Valve on end of
Charging Hose and exhaust Gas from
the NCA and Gas Booster. The indicated
pressure on the NCA gauges and Gas
Booster Output Pressure Gauge will
read “0” and no gas will be exhausting
the Charging Hose Valve when all the
gas has been exhausted.
Disconnected
Quick
Connection
Disconnect Regulated Shop Air from the
Gas Booster.
Close the Gas Pressure Regulator and
disconnect the Quick Connection from
Gas Booster.
Put the Gas Booster and the Gas Booster
Charging Hose into the Gas Booster
Carry Case.
