INTRODUCTION

The Nitron Gas Module (NGM) is specifically designed to work with Nitron Cold Draft dispensers. It sup­plies an unlimited amount of gas without the need to change-out or refill a nitrogen gas cylinder to support the
nitrogenation process, resulting in a Nitro Cold Brew beverage that’s crowned with a smooth, silky stout-like
collar/foamy head.

SITE REQUIREMENTS

The Nitron Gas Module dimensions are 8.3"W x 13.8"D x 4.7"H. The NGM should be placed in a upright position on
a solid surface nearest or directly underneath the Nitron Cold Draft Dispenser. Environment must be below 90 Degrees F,
50% or lower humidity, such as in a cafe, convenience store, or restaurant and not near other appliances that may emit
gasses, oils, or other fluids. Do Not allow vents on the sides of the NGM to get blocked.

CAUTION: To reduce the risk of Electric Shock or Injury, use and store indoors only. Adapter plugs or extension cords may
not be used to facilitate electrical hook-up to the equipment power cord.
APPLICATION: The NGM is not to be used with a Keg style dispense systems. The output pressure of the NGM will be

around 100-112psig.

ELECTRICAL REQUIREMENTS

The 120V rated Nitron Gas Module has an attached cord set and requires a 2-wire, grounded, individual branch circuit
rated 120 volts ac, 15 amp, single phase, 60Hz. The mating connector is NEMA 5-15R.

Refer to the data plate for exact electrical requirements.

120 Volt
Plug

CAUTION: To reduce the risk of Electric Shock or Injury, use and store indoors only. Adapter plugs or extension cords may
not be used to facilitate electrical hook-up to the equipment power cord.

GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS

This product must be grounded. In the event of an electrical short circuit, grounding reduces the risk of electric shock
by providing an escape wire for the electric current. This product is equipped with a cord having a grounding wire with an
appropriate grounding plug. The plug must be plugged into an outlet that is properly installed and grounded in accordance
with all local codes and ordinances.

WARNING: Improper installation of the grounding plug is able to result in a risk of electric shock. When repair or
replacement of the cord or plug is required, do not connect the grounding wire to either flat blade terminal. The
wire with insulation having an outer surface that is green with or without yellow stripes is the grounding wire.
Contact a qualified electrician or serviceman when the grounding instructions are not completely understood, or
when in doubt as to whether the product is properly grounded. Do not modify the plug provided; if it does not fit
the outlet, have the proper outlet installed by a qualified electrician.

NGM Initial Set Up Instruction

Step 1: Determine if the Nitron Gas Module (NGM) is going to be installed to an existing installed Nitron2 Cold Draft dis-
penser using N2 gas supply from a cylinder or along side a new dispenser installation.
Existing Nitron2 Cold Draft Installation - Go to “N2 Gas Cylinder Removal Instruction” before continuing with Step 2.

Step 2: Place the Nitron Gas Module (NGM) near or under the Nitron dispenser. Adjust to extend the feet of the Nitron
dispenser approximately 1.0 inch to accommodate NGM placement underneath the Nitron dispenser.
Note: The Nitron dispenser must be disconnected from the power source until specified in the instruction to power up
dispenser.

Step 3: Locate the hose and sealing washers that came with the Nitron Gas Module, install the flare washers upon con­necting the hose from the NGM to the Nitron dispenser flare fitting for proper seal at the flare connections.

Step 4: Plug-in the NGM power cord into a dedicated 120Volt, 15Amp rated outlet.

Step 5: Wait a few seconds for the NGM to pressurize the line between the NGM and Nitron dispenser and shut off.

Check for leaks.

Step 6: Before installing a door cover or an existing door cover on a Nitron dispenser, disable the red LED indicator
light (for an empty N2 tank) mounted on the inner door by disconnecting the connectors. Locate the black and red
wire coming from the red LED going to a 2-pin connector junction (Fig.1). Disconnect the 2 pin connector (Fig.2). Next,
follow the Door Cover Installation instruction outlined in the Nitron2 Installation & Operating Guide.

Fig.1

Connected Disconnected

Step 7: After completion of disconnecting Nitron dispenser’s red N2 Empty LED and Nitron Door Cover Installation, the
dispenser can be connected to a power source. The NGM is now ready for use. As the pressure is depleted by dispensing
drinks from the Nitron dispenser, the NGM will automatically turn on to re-pressurize the line.

Fig.2

N2 GAS CYLINDER REMOVAL INSTRUCTION

A nitrogen gas cylinder is under extremely high vapor pressure which will need to be handled with care during
disconnect from the dispenser. Nitrogen cylinders will have a DOT label identifying the gas and hazards.

Step 1: Locate the N

dispenser only.

Step 2: Turn the main cylinder On/Off valve to the Off position.
Step 3: Place an empty container under the dispenser nozzles. Pull the “Nitro Coffee” tap handle to relieve the

pressure.

Step 4: Disconnect the nitrogen supply line to the dispenser.
Step 5: Disconnect the nitrogen pressure regulator from the cylinder.
Step 6: Inform the location manager or owner that the Nitrogen cylinder is disconnected and should

be properly stored until gas supplier can pick up.
NOTE: During removal, if the cylinder is empty, tag the cylinder as “Empty”.

Step 7: Disconnect or unplug the Nitron2 Cold Draft dispenser from the power source.
Step 8: Proceed onto Step 2 under NGM Initial Set Up Instruction.

supply cylinder and verify it only supplies nitrogen to the BUNN nitron2 Cold Draft

PREVENTIVE MAINTENANCE

55641.0000

In order to maintain proper operation and long service life, BUNN requires an annual PM if the NGM is placed
in an ideal environment as laid out in the Site Requirements. The PM should take place in conjunction with the
Nitron dispenser’s PM schedule. If the NGM is placed in a less than ideal environment, more frequent PM’s

may be required.

NOTICE: To ensure quality air delivery to dispenser, change internal filters annually.

Value of Preventive Maintenance:

• Reducing unexpected amount of equipment failures throughout a year.

• Extend the equipment life expectancy.

• Reducing the amount of energy consumption.

• Providing the best quality of finished product for the consumer.

• Assures uptime.

• Eliminate premature replacing of equipment.

• Reduce problematic repairs & return service trips.

TROUBLESHOOTING

A troubleshooting guide is provided to suggest probable causes and remedies for the most likely problems encountered.

If the problem remains after exhausting the troubleshooting steps, contact the Bunn-O-Matic Technical Service Department.

• Inspection, testing, and repair of electrical equipment should be performed only by qualified service personnel.

• All electronic components have 120-240 volt ac and low voltage dc potential on their terminals. Shorting of terminals
or the application of external voltages may result in board failure.

• Intermittent operation of electronic circuit boards is unlikely. Board failure will normally be permanent. If an intermittent
condition is encountered, the cause will likely be a switch contact or a loose connection at a terminal or crimp.

• Solenoid removal requires interrupting the water supply to the valve. Damage may result if solenoids are energized for
more than ten minutes without a supply of water.

• The use of two wrenches is recommended whenever plumbing fittings are tightened or loosened. This will help to avoid
twists and kinks in the tubing.

• Make certain that all plumbing connections are sealed and electrical connections tight and isolated.

WARNING – • Exercise extreme caution when servicing electrical equipment.

• Unplug the dispenser when servicing, except when electrical tests are specified.

• Follow recommended service procedures.

• Replace all protective shields or safety notices.
