2. Device Purpose 5. Device Assembly, InstallationThe PEGAS NovoTap device is intended for fast foam- and Connectionfree manual dispensing of foamy and/or carbonated The device shall be installed vertically over a tablebeverages (e.g. beer) from pressurized vessels or a bar counter on a hollow-core beer tower(kegs) into plastic bottles with PCO or BPF necks. (D = 90 mm at least) with a through holeDispensing is based on backpressure method. (d = 23 mm) so that the bottle fixing mechanism shall Backpressure method consists of filling an empty look downward. The distance between the axebottle with gas under the pressure equal of the shank and the table surface shall be not less to the pressure in a keg with beverage. This method than 450 mm. If two devices are installed,provides foam-free dispensing and keeps beverage the recommended distance between their shanks quality in case of a long-term storage in sealed shall be at least 150 mm. bottles. It is recommended to use clean bottlesfor beverage dispensing. The PEGAS NovoTap+ package includes a G 5/8'' shank which givesan option to mount a beer tap to its body for filling glasses/mugs, etc.

3. Technical Data

Before mounting the device to a beer towerit is necessary to check whether hoses can be freely connected to nipples of tee adapter provided that the tee adapter is located strictly vertically and looks downwards (hoses shallbe connected from below). If the hoses can notbe freely connected, it is necessary to replacethe tee adapter with a different one (meant for side / rear connection of hoses). A drip tray shallbe provided on the table. (See Fig. 1a).

Figure 5.3Bottle filling with ÑÎ2

Make sure that pressure release valve (III) is closed. Push handle of the changeover valve (I)to start ÑÎ2 supply into the bottle and keep it in this position. When gas supply noise subsides, thereis enough gas in the bottle.The bottle shall become firmif squeezed by hand. Release handle (I) to cut off the CO2 supply.

Fill the bottle a bit lowerthe desired level. Turn handleof the pressure release valve (III) clockwise until it stops to closethe valve. Push handleof the changeover valve (I)in the medium (vertical) position to cut off the beer supply.

Figure 5.5Completion of filling

Install a bottle into bottle fixing mechanism (IV). The support ring of the bottleneck shall be inside the fixing mechanism. If you release the bottle, it shall hang strictly in a vertical position. Turn handle of the bottle fixing mechanism (II) to the left. Bottle fixing mechanism (IV) withthe bottle inside it will slightly raise. The bottleneck shallbe tightly pressed to the O-ring (the pressing force is sufficientif the bottle cannot be turned around its axis by hand).Figure 5.2

Bottle fixing

Figure 5.6Bottle unfixing

Slightly open pressure release valve (III). Wait a few seconds.If there is no active foamingin the bottle, wait for the bottleto become soft. If there is active foaming in the bottle, controlthe opening of the pressure release valve until the foaming stops. Wait for the bottleto become soft. Turn handleof the bottle fixing mechanism (II) to the right in the initial position until it stops. Take the filled bottle out of the device. Close pressure release valve (III).

Figure 5.4Bottle filling with beer

Pull the handle of the changeover valve (I) until it clicks showing thatthe changeover valve is setin the beer supply position.If beer is not coming intothe bottle at the moment,it means that there is enough gas in the bottle. (If beer is coming into the bottle, there is not enough gas in the bottle. Proceed filling the bottle this time and supply more gas during the next filling). Slightly turn handle of the pressure release valve (III) counterclockwise to open the valve. Adjust the bottle filling rate (increase/decrease) by opening/ closing pressure release valve (III). If there is much foamin the bottle, it means thatthe selected bottle filling rateis wrong.

To keep beer quality it is required to seal the filled bottle with a closure as soon as possible after takingthe bottle out of the device.
