CONGRATULATIONS

Your Peak Scientific gas generator is now fully installed, operational and ready to
supply gas on demand to your instrument.
Page 13

General Notes
Electrical requirements are 220 - 240v ±10%. Running at voltages outwith this is
not recommended. Extended periods at extremes can have a detrimental effect on the
operation and life of the Generator.

1.

The Teflon tube supplied in the fittings kit is to allow the generator to be installed
adjacent to the instrument it is supplying. If the generator is to be installed further
away from the instrument then attention needs to be paid to pressure drops that could
occur. The maximum distance away from the instrument the generator can be placed
still using 6mm (4mm internal diameter) or ¼” (3/16” internal diameter) tubing is 10m.
For further information relating to tubing lengths please refer to the user manual.
2.

Please familiarise yourself with the full User Manual available at www.peakscientific.
com/downloads. This includes all other technical specifications, operating
instructions, service requirements, contact details and trouble shooting.
