Installation
Generator Environment
The generator should be situated in a well ventilated environment, with at least a
75mm (3”) air gap all around it and should be positioned such that it can be easily
disconnected from the mains supply if required.The generator is designed for indoor
use only. It should be installed adjacent to the application it is supplying. If this is not
convenient then the unit can be sited elsewhere, however, consideration should be
made of the lengths of pipe runs as pressure drops can result from extended runs of
pipe.
Performance of the generator (like all sophisticated equipment) is affected by ambient
conditions. Note should also be taken to the proximity of Air Conditioning outlets.
These can sometimes give rise to “pockets” of air with high relative humidity. Operation
of the unit within such a pocket could adversely affect its performance. Consideration
should also be given to the air flow around the unit. It is recommended that an air gap
of 75mm (3”) should be maintained down both sides and at the rear of the unit. Please
refer to the drawing on the following page for the general dimensions of the unit.
Minimum Operating Ambient Temperature:

5 °C (41 °F)

Maximum Operating Ambient Temperature:

30 °C (86 °F)

Ensure all inlets and outlets are connected to correct sources and
applications. All Connections should only be carried out by trained
personnel. Generator must be switched off and unplugged prior to any
cleaning or maintenance operations

Drain Connection
Fit the 6mm push fit fitting to the drain port located on the output panel. Tighten
using a 16mm or 5/8” spanner. Use the 6mm tubing to connect this to a suitable drain
connection or container. It should be noted that the Generator can expel a considerable
amount of water from this (dependant on ambient humidity).

CAUTION

If a container is used it should be emptied at regular intervals. The
container must NOT have an air tight seal as water and air are expelled
at pressure.

Peak Scientific have tested and approved the use of the following drain bottle available
via PerkinElmer:
PN: N0690271 CAP ASSY-ZOD DRAIN BOTTLE
PN: 09200486 BOTTLE- WIDE MOUTH 15L HDPE
When using this drain bottle, please note below recommendations:
1. A drain bottle should only be connected 1:1 to a single Peak Generator
2. The bottle should not be allowed to be filled with drain water to more than 2/3rds
3. The vent size should not be blocked or restricted in any way.

Page 17

Electrical Connection
Connect the generator to an appropriate 230 volt single-phase supply, refer to the
generator serial plate for input specification and ensure your supply matches the
requirements.
If an appropriate mains power cords is not supplied or a substitute one is used then
ensure that all components of it the plug, cord and connector have adequate ratings
for the generator and appropriate approvals for the country of use. If a substitute main
supply cord is used, ensure that it has adequate ratings and appropriate approvals for
the country of operation. Failure to do so could cause damage to the generator or risk
of overloading of the power cord.

WARNING

This unit is classified as SAFETY CLASS 1. THIS UNIT MUST BE
EARTHED. Before connecting the unit to the mains supply, please
check the information on the serial plate. The mains supply must be of
the stated AC voltage and frequency.

Electrical requirements are 230VAC nominal +/- 10%. However, running continuously at
voltages outwith this is not recommended. Extended periods at extremes can have a
detrimental effect on the operation and life of the generator.
If the equipment is used in a manner not specified by the manufacturer,
the protection provided by the equipment maybe impaired.
WARNING

To ensure that the correct voltage is being supplied to the generator, the generator
comes equipped with an inbuilt voltmeter. This is located on the underside of the
compressor compartment, and will measure and display the mains voltage that is being
supplied to the generator.
The voltmeter should be checked prior to the initial purge of the system.
If the reading is 219V or less, then we would highly recommend fitting a Dual Tap
Transformer 06-3200. This can be ordered directly from Peak Scientific.

Page 18

Start-Up Sequence

CAUTION

Before the Generator is connected to the application, the Generator
should be operated in isolation (i.e. not connected to the application)
for thirty minutes. This is to ensure any impurities present are purged
from the system. Failure to do this may harm the application.

Following the voltage check, (see Page 16), the unit should be switched off and
silencers fitted to each of the three outlet ports of the output panel (ref Install Guide).
Once this is done, the Generator can be re-connected to the mains and switched on.
Pressure will start to build in the internal storage tanks which can be monitored by
watching the output pressure gauge on the front panel. This will climb to the factory set
pressure as noted in the specifications.
Once this pressure is reached, the compressors will continue to run until the internal
tank upper pressure limit is reached and the compressor has run for a period of at least
two and a half minutes.
The compressors will then rest until the internal tank lower pressure limits is reached.
Once this limit is reached the compressors will switch back on again. This compressor
cycling is normal and will continue throughout the operation of the Generator.
When the system has been operated for a period of 30 minutes, all the internal pipework and storage tanks will have been purged with Nitrogen.
The Generator is now purged and the tubes can be connected at the rear of the unit.

Page 19

Connecting to the application
Once the initial purge run of 30 minutes has completed, and the generator has been
running for 1 hour, (required to reach purity for the application) it is ready to be
connected to the application(s)
The pressure in the internal storage tanks must be allowed to dissipate
before connecting the generator to the application(s)
CAUTION

Attach the ¼” compression fittings to the outlets of the generator. Using the ¼” tubing
supplied, connect the outlets of the generator to the inlets on the application.
If you require more tubing than is supplied please refer to the Tubing Lengths section.

CAUTION

Once the tubing is connected to the application, please ensure that it
is thoroughly checked for being leak-tight. Even the slightest leak in
the gas supply between the generator and the application can lead to
a reduction in efficiency.

Tubing Lengths

CAUTION

The diameter of the tubing which will be connected to the gas outlets
is important and is determined by the length of tubing required. Failure
to follow these recommendations could lead to pressure between
generator and application.

< 10 meters:

Use ¼”/3⁄16” (¼” O/D, 3⁄16” I/D) P.T.F.E. tubing.

> 10 - 40 meters: Use 3⁄8”/ 5⁄16” (3⁄8” O/D, 5⁄16” I/D). Tubing and fittings not supplied
in the fittings kit.
> 40 metres:


Please contact Peak Scientific with the relevant distance and
we will calculate the flow resistance and the tubing size required.

A combination of ¼”/3⁄16” and 3⁄8”/5⁄16” tubing may be used to ensure that there is no large
diameter tubing within the lab (i.e. for the first 20 meters from the generator use 3⁄8”/5⁄16”
and the final 10 meters to the application use ¼”/3⁄16” tubing). Keep the connections and
bends to a minimum.

Page 20

Normal Operation
The generator is designed specifically to minimize operator involvement. Given that the
system is installed as described in earlier sections and is serviced in accordance with
the specified maintenance recommendations (see Service Requirements), then it should
simply be a matter of turning the generator on when it is required.
The generator will automatically produce the factory set flow and pressure as detailed
in the Technical Specifications.

On Demand Gas
When the application requires a gas flow, the generator will produce gas on demand.
The generator will continue to supply gas whilst the application is in a ‘Standby’ mode.
As soon as a demand is detected from the application, the generator will match the
applications requirements.

Generator Cycling
The generator is designed to operate in either a cyclic mode or run continuously, this
will be dependent on the output flow.
The cyclic rate of the compressors will depend on the gas demand of the application;
the generator will cycle when the upper tank pressure set limits are achieved within a
3-minute time period.
When the application demands increase, the compressor duty will be higher and the
rest period of the compressor cycle will be shorter. If operated at maximum flow, the
generator will run continuously to maintain the upper tank pressures. Another cause for
continuous operation would be if the generator is installed: at high altitude, in an extreme environment or subjected to low voltage supply. The compressors will undergo
periods where they do not cycle.

Unusual Operation
If at any time the generator begins to emit excessive noise or vibration, then it should
be switched off and you should contact Peak Scientific or the Peak Partner from which
the generator has been purchased.

Service Indication
The generator has the following Service Indication Stages:-

Stage 1
Once either compressor requires a service the LED indicator (yellow) on the front of the
generator will illuminate.
This is to make the user aware that a service of the generator is due and should be
planned at the earliest convenience. The generator will continue to operate as normal
with the LED on.

Stage 2
If the service is not completed the generator will continue to run. After 2 weeks, the
service LED indicator (yellow) will start to flash.
This is to make the user aware that the service of the generator is now overdue and
must be completed immediately to ensure the continuous trouble free operation of the
generator.

Service Indication Reset
Once the service has been completed the Service Indication LED can be reset in the
main control PLC. This will be performed by the Peak Service Engineer or trained
service representative that completes the service operation.
