1 GENERAL SAFETY WARNINGS

PLEASE READ MANUAL CAREFULLY AND FOLLOW ALL PROCEDURES BEFORE INSTALLING,
OPERATING OR REPAIRING THE UNIT.

WARNING:
Pressurized gases are contained within the generator, receiver and product tanks. High pressure
gases are dangerous and may cause injury or death if handled or used inappropriately. Never point
the compressed air, nitrogen, or condensate drain outlet towards anyone.

The GENERON® IGS Nitrogen Generation System is capable of producing nitrogen with purities ranging 95% to
99.9%. The nitrogen produced by the GENERON® IGS Generation System is a colorless, odorless, chemically
inert gas defined as a simple asphyxiant. There are no definite warning signs for exposure to nitrogen.
Nitrogen is non-toxic; however, the liberation of large amounts of nitrogen will displace the oxygen needed to
support life.
Ensure connections are depressurized prior to performing maintenance, including changing the filters.
Only use GENERON® IGS approved replacement parts when performing maintenance and repairs. Make sure
that replacement parts meet or exceed the pressure requirements. The owner is responsible for maintaining
the unit in a safe operating condition.
Installation, operation, maintenance and repair must be performed only by authorized, trained, and competent
individuals. The operator must employ safe working precautions and rules when operating or working with
mechanical and electrical pieces of equipment.
Never allow high pressure gas to exhaust from an unsecured hose which may exhibit a whipping action that can
cause serious injury. If a hose should burst during use, immediately close all isolation valves.
Never disable or bypass any safety relief valve.
Always make certain that the electrical system is “locked-out” and that the voltage is disconnected and the unit
is without power prior to performing any electrical work on routine maintenance.
GENERON® IGS Systems are equipped with condensate drain lines. These drain lines could collect oily condensate,
if any, removed from the compressed air supplied to the systems. It is customer's responsibility to ensure that the
oily condensate released from these drain lines is disposed of in accordance with local statutes.
Waste oil collected during compressor oil changes and oil soaked filter elements removed from the coalescing and
particulate filters are considered hazardous waste. It is the customer's responsibility to ensure that all waste oil
and oil soaked filter elements are disposed of in accordance with governing statutes.
Oil spills or leaks from the compressor must be properly cleaned up. Commercial absorbent materials are available
for this purpose. Use only absorbent material that has been approved by a responsible governing agency. In some
cases, disposal of contaminated soil may be necessary.

2 INTRODUCTION
This manual describes the general operating and maintenance instructions for a GENERON Nitrogen Generator
as designed by Generon IGS. GENERON nitrogen generation systems use membrane technology for the air
separation. The purpose of this manual is to enable a trained operator to start-up, shutdown, make minor
process adjustments, and maintain a unit which has been set-up initially by a trained Generon IGS Service
representative.
This manual is not intended to instruct the user on how to perform detailed modifications or major set-up
changes to the nitrogen generator.
The information and specifications in this manual are in accordance with the information in effect at the time
of printing. GENERON® IGS reserves the right to make changes without notice or incurring obligation. If the
guidelines written in this manual are not followed, warranty will be voided.
Customers may direct specific questions related to the maintenance and operation of the GENERON® IGS
Nitrogen Generation Package to the GENERON® IGS Customer Service Department at 713-937-5200.
Before performing any warranty service on GENERON® IGS Unit, have model number, serial number and brief
description of warranty issue available when you call the GENERON® IGS service department.

2.1 Proper Use of Nitrogen Generation package

The Nitrogen Generation Package has been designed, manufactured and tested to separate compressed air and
provide nitrogen gas at the equipment discharge. Any other use has to be considered improper. GENERON®
IGS has the right to void the warranty if any problem arises due to improper use.
The user must comply with the procedures listed in this manual for proper installation and operation.
GENERON® IGS has the right to void the warranty for any misuse of the unit.
2.1.1 Nitrogen Gas
The GENERON® IGS Nitrogen Generation package is designed to separate nitrogen from compressed air. The
concentrations of oxygen contained in the nitrogen product stream of any GENERON® IGS System will not
support human life. If released in an unventilated area, nitrogen will displace oxygen and cause asphyxiation
and/or injury.
A general indication of the symptoms and effects experienced when exposed to various levels of oxygen
deficient atmospheres is given below.
Table 1 Oxygen Deficient Atmosphere Symptoms

Oxygen Content Symptoms and Effects

(% by volume) (Atmospheric Pressure)

15-19% Decreased ability to work strenuously. May impair coordination and may
induce early symptoms in persons with coronary, pulmonary, or
circulatory problems.

12-14% Respiration increases with exertion, increase of pulse rate, impaired

coordination, perception and judgment affected.

Tele: 713-937-5200 / Fax: 713-937-5250
Version 1 www.generon.com Page 3
 10-12% Respiration further increases in rate and depth, poor judgment, blueness
of lips.

8-10% Mental failure, fainting, unconsciousness, ashen face, blueness of lips,

nausea, and vomiting.

6-8% 8 minutes exposure, fatal; 6 minutes exposure, 50% fatal; 4-5 minutes
exposure, recovery with treatment.

4-6% Coma in 40 seconds, convulsions, respiration ceases; death.

Avoid confined spaces until oxygen adequacy (20.9%) has been proven by analysis or other positive means, or
until breathing air has been provided by air pack, air hose or other trusted sources.
Do not allow the product nitrogen to be vented other than through proper piping. Warning signs should be
posted in any area and/or confined space which may be a potential nitrogen deficient area. Appropriate
warning signs are available from the GENERON® IGS Service Department.
2.1.2 Enriched Oxygen
The enriched oxygen vent gas (permeate) could consist of 30-45% oxygen as compared to normal levels which
are 20.9% oxygen. While oxygen will not burn, oxygen concentrations above 28% can support combustion of
other materials much more readily than air. It is imperative that the enriched oxygen vent gas be discharged
only in well-ventilated and safe areas. If the GENERON® IGS Nitrogen Generation package is located in an air
tight or poorly ventilated room, the vent gas should be piped outdoors for release.
2.1.3 Pressurized Equipment
The GENERON® IGS package is operated under pressure. Therefore, a hazardous work program should be
followed when working around or servicing this equipment.
The permeate vent line must never be pressurized. This line should always be allowed to flow un-restricted to
the atmosphere for discharge in a safe area.
The GENERON® IGS package should not be subjected to excessive external forces or impact. Excessive force or
impact applied to a pressurized line may result in the sudden release of pressurized air and possibly inflict
injury to nearby personnel.
ALWAYS ISOLATE THE AREA TO BE SERVICED. DEPRESSURIZE ALL LINES AND VESSELS BEFORE DISCONNECTING
LINES OR BEFORE DISASSEMBLY OF GENERON® IGS Nitrogen Generation package. Associated air and nitrogen
supply lines should be shut off and locked out.
Leak checks should be performed on all piping components to ensure no compressed air or product nitrogen is
allowed to escape. When performing leak checks; use an accepted leak detection solution.
2.1.4 Electrical Equipment
Use normal commercial safety practices while performing maintenance or troubleshooting.
Personnel unfamiliar with the electrical equipment supplied with the GENERON® IGS packages should not
attempt to service this equipment. The electrical currents supplied to the various electrical components on the
GENERON® IGS package are at levels high enough to cause severe injury and/or death.

3 INSTALLATION
3.1 Receiving & Inspecting Equipment
Immediately remove packaging and inspect the components upon delivery to insure that no damage has taken
place during transit. Notify the carrier immediately and note all damages on bill of lading and file a claim with
the carrier if damage occurred. Check receipt of complete package against the packing list.

3.2 Site & Utility Requirements

The systems have been designed for outdoor operating conditions. For proper cooling and ventilation, this
mobile unit front must head into wind direction. This will ensure maximum cooling effect for circulation of air.
The GENERON guidelines and recommended operation are outlined in process specific documents (like P&ID,
equipment drawings, etc.) These conditions need to be followed to enable the package to perform at its rated
capacity. Deviation from these requirements may result in performance variation, injury to persons or
machinery, and voiding of the warranty.

4 PROCESS DESCRIPTION
4.1 General
This package is designed to deliver 500 Nm3/h of nitrogen at 9 Barg with minimum 95% purity.
The GENERON Nitrogen Generator is equipped with modules in which the nitrogen separation takes place from
the air supplied. The modules are filled with a cylindrical bundle of hollow fiber membranes made of a polymer-

based material.
Each bundle contains several million fibers, each about the size of a human hair. Compressed air enters the end
of the fibers and flows inside the fibers through the membrane bundle to the opposite end. Gas separation
takes place as the pressurized air contacts the membranes. "Fast" gases such as oxygen, carbon dioxide, and
water vapor quickly permeate through the fiber walls and exit at atmospheric pressure through the vent port
on the side of the module case.
Nitrogen, a slower gas, does not permeate through the fiber as quickly under flowing conditions. It flows down
bore of the fibers and exits at the product manifold on the end of the module case.

4.2 Module Operating Properties

Membrane performance is generally described by the terms productivity (flow) and recovery (efficiency). This
performance is a function of the product purity, operating temperature, and operating pressure.
In general, productivity increases with an increase in pressure and temperature (at constant purity). Recovery,
on the other hand, increases slightly with pressure, but decreases as temperature rises (at constant purity).
Both recovery and productivity increase as the oxygen concentration (product impurity) increases (at constant
pressure and temperature).
The membrane modules should never reach freezing temperatures. Keep the modules between 40°F (4.4°C)
and 140°F (60°C). Exposure to temperatures outside the specified range could lead to membrane damage and
performance reduction.

Purity is varied by controlling the flow rate through the modules. Slow/low flow yields high purity, while
fast/high flow yields a lower purity.

5 EQUIPMENT DESCRIPTION
5.1 Nitrogen Generation Package (Membrane)
Compressed air from the compressors will feed air to Refrigeration dryer and then it will feed to GENERON® IGS
Membrane system for nitrogen generation. The operation of the system is controlled through monitoring flow
and purity. Adjustments are made to purity control valve to optimize performance of Nitrogen generator.
One Nitrogen generation package is supplied, comprising of following equipment.
5.1.1 Coalescing Filters (F-11)
Fine coalescing filters utilizing 0.01-micron filter element are designed to remove virtually all the remaining oil
aerosol still present in the feed air. Regular replacement of the filter elements is essential for proper filter
operation. This filter is provided with differential pressure indicators (PDI-11-1). The higher differential pressure
indicates that filter element replacement is required.
The coalescing filters are each also equipped with a condensate drain line. The drain line for the coalescing
filters include continuous drain trap (FD-11-1).
5.1.2 Carbon Filter (F-16)
The carbon filter consists of a specially element that consist of activated carbon wrapped in a mesh filter. The
activated
Carbon is used in the carbon filter to adsorb heavy hydrocarbon vapors that may be entrained in the feed air
supply.
5.1.1 Membrane Modules (MM-19)
The GENERON® IGS membrane modules are filled with a cylindrical bundle of hollow fiber membranes, made of
a polymer-based material which is of a patented design. These modules are sensitive to water and
hydrocarbons and upstream maintenance is critical to the longevity of the operation. Filtered air will flow
through membranes to produce nitrogen. The nitrogen will flow through the downstream piping, while the
oxygen-rich air is the permeate gas.
The number of modules for the project is determined based on project requirements for purity, product flow,
pressure, etc.
5.1.2 Oxygen Analyzer (AT-20-1)
The oxygen analyzer continuously monitors nitrogen product gas for oxygen content. During operation, sample
gas from the product header flows through the analyzer cell which generates a signal proportional to oxygen
concentration. The product sample purity is monitored by the PLC, which adjusts the flow control valve (FCV
23-1), via the positioner (FY 23-1), to maintain nitrogen purity.

5.1.3 Purity Control Valve (FCV-23-1)

Purity control valve is controlled by oxygen analyzer. The valve will close at lower purity and vice versa. The
opening of Purity Control Valve is set by GENERON® IGS to achieve the contracted nitrogen purity and flow
rate. It is critical that the setting of this valve shall not be changed, unless by an authorized GENERON® IGS
service technician.

Version 1 www.generon.com Page 8
5.1.4 Purity Assurance Valves
The Nitrogen generation package is equipped with two (2) pneumatically actuated purity assurance valves (FSV-24-
1A/1B). These valves will operate based on purity set point in PLC program. The on-spec valve will open when
analyzer detects the product within acceptable purity settings. The off-spec valve will open to release gas into
atmosphere when analyzer purity reading is below set point.
As the produced nitrogen achieves the specified purity the PLC will automate the on-spec purity assurance valve
(FSV-24-1A) to open and allow the on-spec product gas to flow into the customer's pipeline or storage tank.
The purity assurance valve (FSV-24-1B) will be opened towards off-spec gas side if nitrogen purity is low.
The off-spec gas vented from the off-spec vent valve contains highly concentrated nitrogen. This can be hazardous
to personnel safety. This gas shall be vented in accordance with good safety practices and local guidelines.
5.1.5 Permeate Gas
The permeate gas is the waste gas stream from nitrogen separation process. Running the module in parallel,
permeate gas typically contains 30-45% Oxygen and should be piped outdoors to a safe area. It is critical that
downstream permeate piping contain no valves or blockages that may result in a backpressure being placed on
the modules. Backpressure on the modules via the permeate line (where velocity is <20ft/sec) will result in a
decrease in nitrogen production.
5.1.6 Block and Bleed Valves
The block valves (FSV 28-1A and FSV 28-1B) and bleed valve (FSV 28-2), which are controlled by PLC, are used to
separate nitrogen product between high pressure/high purity mode and low pressure/low purity mode. The
block and bleed valves receive the signal from PLC to close and open as required.
The block valves are closed as normal position and bleed valve is open ad normal position.

6 CONTROL SYSTEM
The complete package will be controlled by control back pan mounted within the package.

6.1 CC-2 Control panel

This control panel is installed inside the container. The panel is powered by 120 VAC / 1P/ 60Hz. It will receive
signals from relevant instruments on the nitrogen generation membrane package in the cabinet.
The system shall be operated locally, with provision of alarm/trip signals hardwired to customer’s control system.
The Programmable Logic Controller (PLC), located in the Control Panel CC-2 is pre-programmed appropriately for
this individual system. It consists of an assembly of modular components which is responsible for:
a) Taking input signals from front panel buttons and switches and displaying status information on front panel
indicators as well as remote status indicators.
b) All switching valve sequencing timers and counters. The PLC will energize and de-energize piloting solenoids,
as appropriate.
c) Monitoring the oxygen content of the product gas to ensure on-spec purity. If the O2 analyzer indicates a high
O2 level during normal operations, the PLC will vent the off-spec product gas and ultimately shut down the
GENERON® IGS Membrane system.
d) Control of nitrogen purity by continually adjusting the module outlet pressure set point to maintain nitrogen
purity under changing ambient and operating conditions.
For specific instructions on programming the control system, consult the GENERON® IGS Service Center.
In general, though, control system programming changes are nothing more than changing the set points in the PLC
memory.
The front of the panel consists of Lights, Pushbuttons and an Operator Interface Terminal.
6.1.1 Front Panel lights, Pushbuttons and Switches
The switches on the panel allow local control of the system. There are two selector switches, three lights, and a
pull-to-release E-stop button on the panel.
The AUTO/STOP/MANUAL switch shall be in AUTO position and ON/OFF power switch shall be in ON position. The
system is now ready to start. The system will continue to run and will shut down only through E-Stop, or, selecting
STOP on AUTO/STOP/MANUAL switch, or, shutdown signal within the package.
Manual mode is for trouble shoot purpose only.
• DC POWER OFF/ON - When this switch is in ON position the panel will receive 120VAC power supply.
• AUTO/STOP/MANUAL – The selector switch to select the operating modes for nitrogen generation
(membrane) package.
AUTO - Placing the AUTO/STOP/MANUAL switch in AUTO will allow the Nitrogen Generator to run using
the analyzer reading for purity control.
MANUAL - Placing the AUTO/STOP/MANUAL switch in MANUAL will allow the Nitrogen Generator to run
with all the same functionality as AUTO, but the oxygen analyzers will not control the purity valve.
The valve can now be opened and closed via the HMI on the analog setup screen (0-100%).
STOP - Placing the AUTO/STOP/MANUAL switch in STOP will shut the system down.

 • POWER ON (Green Lamp) - When the power on light is ON there is 120VAC power present to PLC panel.
• ALARM (Amber lamp) - The alarm light flashes any time an alarm is present. Clearing the alarm via the
Panel-view will not stop the flashing of the light. Only correcting of the alarm condition will turn OFF the
alarm light.
• SHUTDOWN (Red lamp) - When the SHUTDOWN light is ON the system is stopped and is ready to run. If
the shutdown condition is not a normal shutdown, the system must be put in stop, the condition
corrected, and then placed in AUTO or MANUAL to start the run.
• EMERGENCY STOP - The Emergency Stop button is a ‘pull-to-release’ operation switch. When the
button is pulled the power to all the PLC outputs is isolated and the system is shutdown. To reset the
Emergency stop button the operator must push to reset. This will enable the power to the PLC outputs
and the nitrogen package may be re-started.
6.1.2 Operator Interface Terminal (HMI)
There is an operator terminal built into the control back pan that allows the user to easily interface with the
PLC system within the control section. The HMI has screens that provide the user with menu-oriented
functions to view operating, configuration, and programming data. The terminal also has an Alarm Banner that
can clear the alarm from the HMI screen only.

7 MAINTENANCE
7.1 Nitrogen Generation Package
The filtration in the package consists of properly sized filters installed on the nitrogen generation package. The
function of these filters is to prevent particles, oil vapor, and condensate from contaminating the membranes
and adsorbent material. Maintenance is critical and performance of the GENERON® IGS® Nitrogen Membrane.
Performance will be hindered if it is not properly maintained.
A properly functioning filtration system is of premiere importance to the systems. Drains must be checked
daily. Filters should be opened up and inspected quarterly. Closely observe the differential pressure
instruments (a drop from the previous days reading could indicate a torn/damaged element).
The following table highlights the recommended minimum requirements for maintenance. In addition to the
identified maintenance activities, it is recommended that a daily record of operating conditions be maintained.

7.1.1 Daily Maintenance
Each day, it is recommended that the operator record the system’s operational parameters on copies of the
Nitrogen Unit Daily Check List / Log located in Appendix C. It is recommended that the readings be performed
at a set time under the same conditions each day after the unit has been running for at least one hour. Retain
these records for as long as possible. These records will aid service technicians in diagnosing and
troubleshooting the system.

7.1.2 Non-maintenance Items
Please note that the Nitrogen membranes and filter elements are non-maintenance items.
7.1.3 Air filters
Most particulate and coalescing filters can tolerate very high differential pressures.
The membrane module performance is a function of the feed air pressure and, as a result, will decline with
increased differential pressure.
In order to optimize the membrane module performance, the pressure differential across the coalescing filters
should be checked on a quarterly basis checking the filter’s pressure differential gauge. The filter elements
should be changed out when the differential pressure (at steady state) across each filter is in the 0.70-0.75 bar
(g) range unless the membrane module performance dictates otherwise. Refer to recommended alarm set-
points for the operation of the system. A minimum change out rate of six months or 4,000 run hours is usually
appropriate depending on the feed air quality.
7.1.4 Carbon filter (F-16)
Clean and oil free compressed air is achieved with the carbon filter. The activated carbon must be replaced on a
regular basis. Minimum change out rate is indicated in the maintenance schedule above.

7.2 Valves
The valves on the package are rated for millions of cycles. However, the air automated valves on the package
can wear out over time due to high frequency cycling and contamination. This may result in lower performance
of the system.
Repair kits are available to replace worn valve seals. Changing of these seals can be accomplished by a trained
service technician.

7.3 Instrumentation
Please refer to the manufacture’s literature for recommended maintenance for specific items.
7.3.1 Oxygen Analyzer
Please refer to the manufacturer’s literature for recommended maintenance. The Oxygen Analyzer should be
periodically calibrated (at least bi-annually) with a certified span gas to ensure proper nitrogen purity reading.
If deviations are detected contact GENERON® IGS service for support. Please refer to Appendix C for a sample
calibration log.
Please see table 3 for calibration gas compositions for these analyzers.

8 TROUBLESHOOTING
8.1 Filters
If the pressure indicator does not show at least 1 psi, check to ensure that there is not a rupture in the filter
element.
If any of the filters have large amounts of condensate, check to ensure that it is not being overloaded and
needs to be changed. Verify upstream drains and systems are functioning properly and air temperature is not
too hot.

8.2 Instrumentation / Transmitters

If at any point during operation, the on-skid instrumentation and transmitters are not reading values within the
expected range, verify that the instrument is still properly connected. Verify all connections are still intact and
recalibrate if possible. If the problem is not corrected, it is likely that the instrument needs to be serviced by
the manufacturer or replaced. Additional details for troubleshooting specific instruments are provided in the
manufacturer’s literature.

8.3 Drain
If there is not any liquid water/oil from drain, check to ensure that the drain line is not blocked by opening the
bypass line. If there is water draining from the bypass line, remove the drain, disassemble and clean port. If
water is still not draining, open the filter and verify the outlet is not plugged from inside the vessel.

8.4 Operation Cycle Problems

Causes of failure include; low voltage into the package, valve failure, etc.
• Check to ensure that the voltage into the unit is correct.
• Check junction box terminals, using a voltmeter, matching the control cycles to electrical outputs found
from the associated electrical drawing.
• Check the solenoid valves to ensure that control air is moving through the correct inlet, purge, and
process valves.
NOTE: The valve position indicator and the operation cycle (in PLC program) of the GENERON® IGS packages
should be the same. If a valve or actuator is not in synch with the other, troubleshoot to find the repair or
replace the valve or actuator.

8.2. Exposure controls

Appropriate engineering Good general ventilation (typically 10 air changes per hour) should be used. Ventilation rates
controls should be matched to conditions. If applicable, use process enclosures, local exhaust ventilation,
or other engineering controls to maintain airborne levels below recommended exposure limits. If
exposure limits have not been established, maintain airborne levels to an acceptable level. If
engineering measures are not sufficient to maintain concentrations of dust particulates below the
OEL (occupational exposure limit), suitable respiratory protection must be worn. If material is
ground, cut, or used in any operation which may generate dusts, use appropriate local exhaust
ventilation to keep exposures below the recommended exposure limits.
Individual protection measures, such as personal protective equipment
General information Personal protection equipment should be chosen according to the CEN standards and in
discussion with the supplier of the personal protective equipment.
Eye/face protection If contact is likely, safety glasses with side shields are recommended.
Skin protection
- Hand protection Wear appropriate chemical resistant gloves.
- Other Wear suitable protective clothing.
Respiratory protection Wear respirator with dust filter.
Thermal hazards Wear appropriate thermal protective clothing, when necessary.

Membrane Module Warranty Policy

Generon IGS warrants that, at the time of shipment, the membrane module hereinafter referred to as
"Module", will conform to all applicable laws, rules, regulations, specifications then in effect and meet or
exceed the minimum performance criteria as outlined in the scope of supply.
Subject to the Original Equipment Manufacturers (hereinafter referred to as "OEM"), or end user's
compliance with the provisions below, the Generon IGS warranty is for a period of eighteen (18) months
from date of shipment or twelve (12) months from module installation, whichever comes first. The
warranty shall include all module models manufactured by Generon IGS.

The Generon IGS warranty scope shall include the following:

1. All testing, evaluation and replacement module(s).
A. All warranty claims are to be submitted in writing to Generon IGS with date of installation
verified by appropriate shipping and/or installation documents and module serial numbers. If date of
installation is not provided, the warranty period will be 12 months from date of shipment.
B. If OEM or end user wishes to file a warranty claim the OEM or end user will be responsible for
removing and shipping the module(s) in question. In order to process a warranty claim a purchase order
must be received by Generon IGS covering replacement modules(s), if any are requested, and module
testing. Generon IGS will issue a "Return Authorization Number" (RAN) to be used by the OEM or end user
for returning suspect module(s) to Generon IGS. All modules returned under a warranty claim will be
tested to try to determine the cause of the OEM or end user identified performance issue. Billing against
the purchase order will occur only if the returned module(s) is determined not to be covered under
warranty. Testing, in this case, will be invoiced at 20% of the module(s) original sales price to the OEM or
end user.
C. If a replacement module(s) is requested, Generon IGS will ship the replacement to be
installed by the OEM or end user provided a Purchase Order has been received. After the module(s) has
been returned, Generon IGS will determine if the module(s) is covered under warranty. If Generon IGS
does not receive the defective module within 30 days of replacement module shipment then Generon
IGS may at its discretion make the warranty null and void. In this case an invoice will be issued for the
replacement module(s).
D. Generon IGS will notify the OEM or end user in writing of the warranty determination within 30
to 60 days after receiving the suspect module, depending on the extent of the required testing.

If it is determined that the module is not covered under warranty an invoice will be issued for the
replacement module and a 20% testing fee will be assessed. All modules not covered under warranty will
be returned to the OEM or end user at the OEM’s or end user’s expense.
2. Module(s) damaged by OEM or end user misuse will void any and all applied warranties. Misuse can
be construed to be improper system design, improper component selection, improper operation and
environmental inadequacies.
3. Warranties are not extended to parts, components or systems. Generon IGS may, at its sole discretion,
at the request of the OEM or end user, review system design and corresponding components and make
recommendations. These recommendations DO NOT amend or alter this warranty in any way.
4. Generon IGS may, at its sole discretion, accept or decline requests for defective module evaluation not
covered under this warranty. IF Generon IGS accepts to conduct evaluation of a defective module not
covered under this warranty a $2000 handling fee will be assessed for each 7200 module, $1500 for each
6500 module, $1200 for each 6150 module, $900 for each 4100 module and $500 for each 210 module.
In addition, all shipping charges will be the responsibility of the OEM or end user.

conforming part(s). The remedies provided herein are expressly agreed to be exclusive. IN NO EVENT
SHALL GENERON IGS BE LIABLE FOR ANY INCIDENTAL OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES. The foregoing
limitations apply whether the claim against Generon IGS is based upon breach of warranty expressed or
implied, strict liability in tort, negligence or any other cause of action.
PERIOD OF LIMITATIONS: Any and all actions for breach of warranty, must be commenced by the OEM or
end user within thirty (30) days after the cause of action has occurred.
FORCE MAJEURE/ALLOCATION: In the event of war, fire, flood, strike, labor dispute, breakage of
equipment, accident riot, action of governmental authority and laws, rules, ordinances and regulations
including, but not limited to, those dealing with pollution, health, ecology or environmental matters, acts
of God, or contingencies beyond the reasonable control of Generon IGS, materially interfering with the
