1 Introduction
The B200 Restrain Generator is used for the production and maintenance of a stable atmosphere
of ethylene within a cold store. This prevents the potatoes from sprouting. During this process, the
machine produces water in the form of vapour.
The machine is a leased product.
• It is not allowed to make any changes to or replace any parts of the machine. Any
modification may result in hazardous situations that can cause personal injury and
damage the machine. Furthermore, this will void the warranty and lease contract.
Contact the manufacturer if anything needs replacement.
• Always use Restrain ethanol supplied by the manufacturer. The machine has been
thoroughly tested with this specific ethanol. If you use any other type of ethanol, this
may negatively affect the operation and life expectancy of the machine. Furthermore, it
will damage the crops, may damage the machine and cause personal injury.

1.1 Intended use
The machine is intended for indoor use only. Make sure that:
• the minimum empty room volume is 200 m3for normal cold stores;
• the minimum empty room volume is 500 m3for rooms that have been completely sealed to
controlled atmosphere standards.
The maximum store size depends on the standard of construction, room air leakage, and the target
level of %Restrain (the calculation in PPM ethylene concentration).
The machine is intended for indoor use only. The maximum store size depends on the standard of
construction, room air leakage, and the target level of ethylene concentration.
When the room is too small, too much ethylene will remain inside. This will damage the
crops.

ethanol from the jerrycan to the
machine.
9. Liquid sensor The liquid sensor measures
whether liquid reaches the ma-
chine.
10. Ethanol tube The ethanol tubes transports
the ethanol from the jerrycan to
the machine.
11. Sensor unit The sensor unit measures the
amount of ethylene in the air.
12. Power converter The power converter converts
the voltage from the mains
power supply.
13. Mains power supply cord Use the mains power supply
cord to turn the machine on or
off.
14. Exhaust The exhaust expels hot air from
