Table 1 - Safety Symbols

Safety Notice to Users
These instructions must be read thoroughly and understood before installation
and operation of your Peak Scientific Infinity 1051. Use of the Generator in a
manner not specified by Peak Scientific MAY impair the SAFETY provided by
the equipment.
When handling, operating or carrying out any maintenance, personnel must
employ safe engineering practices and observe all relevant local health and
safety requirements and regulations. The attention of UK users is drawn to the
Health and Safety at Work Act 1974, and the Institute of Electrical Engineers
regulations.

Nitrogen is not a poisonous gas, but if the concentration in
the inhaled air becomes too high there will be a risk of
asphyxiation.

Introduction
The Peak Scientific Infinity 1051 Generator is designed specifically for use with
Mass Spectrometer applications. The Generator has been designed to produce
Nitrogen from an existing source of dry, oil free, compressed air in the
laboratory.

Unpacking and Installation
Although Peak Scientific take every precaution with safe transit and packaging,
it is advisable to fully inspect the unit for any sign of transit damage.
Check ‘SHOCKWATCH’ label for signs of rough handling prior to un-packing –

Any damage should be reported immediately to the carrier and Peak Scientific
or the Peak Partner from where the unit was purchased.
Follow the unpacking instructions posted on the side of the crate. It will require
two people to remove the unit from the shipping crate and to manoeuvre the
Generator onto the floor.
Please save the product packaging for storage or future shipment of the
Generator.
After unpacking and a visual inspection, the unit should be
placed in a ventilated area away from direct sunlight. Care
should be taken not to obstruct the ventilation holes on the
side of the unit. The Generator should be placed on a steady
and level base. The Infinity 1051 has been designed to fit
under most workbenches. Alternatively, the unit may be wall
mounted using the fixing slots provided.
Performance of the Generator (like all sophisticated
equipment) is affected by ambient temperatures. Prolonged
operation in temperatures exceeding 30°C will shorten the
life of the unit.

Air Connection
Infinity 1051 Generator should be connected to a clean, dry, OIL - FREE source
of compressed air. A minimum inlet pressure of 120 psi / 830 kPa / 8.3 bar is
required. Any doubts as to the suitability of your compressed air supply should
be referred to Peak Scientific or any of their authorised partners.
The generator has a Breathing Air Filter with ¼” BSPT connection to the left
side of the unit. The Compressed Air supply should be connected here. This
filter will drain moisture and is equipped with an automatic drain. The drain
should be led to a convenient place. There are 2-off ¼” BSPT Female bulkhead
connections to the right of the unit. Fittings are provided to connect these
ports to the gas connections of the Mass Spectrometer.
LC/MS with 2-off Connections (e.g. LC-TQ)
Connect the 2-off gas ports at the right side of the generator to their
respective ports on the Mass Spectrometer using the 2-off BSPT x 6mm
Compression Fittings. Use 6mm tubing throughout.

Infinity 1051 User Manual
Commissioning
With the Generator installed (as described earlier), connect compressed air to
the unit and open the air supply to the Unit. Disconnect the Outlet connections
to allow the generator to vent to atmosphere until the unit is stabilised. The
Generator has been pre-set in the factory to give the specified output flow-rate
and pressure in line with known requirements. Once the Membranes reach the
design pressures the Generator will stabilise and produce Nitrogen. Maximum
purity will be achieved after approximately 1 hour. The generator can then be
re-connected to the application.
The design of the generator is such that it can deliver up to the supplies
specified in the Pressure & Flow Settings table below. Should the demand for
gasses be less than the rated output flow at any time, the demand will be
determined by the consuming equipment. In circumstances of no demand, the
Generator remains operational and will provide Nitrogen immediately as
demand resumes.

The above settings should allow the Infinity 1051 to be operated with all
standard configurations for the Shimadzu LCMS 8050. Should the above
settings not provide sufficient flow or pressure for your application please
contact Peak Scientific for assistance.

Cleaning
Clean the outside of the Generator only using warm soapy water and a clean
damp cloth. Ensure the cloth is thoroughly rung out to remove excess fluid
prior to use.

Under no circumstances should any solvents or abrasive
cleaning solutions be used as these can contain fumes that
could be harmful to the Generator.

Page 10

Infinity 1051 User Manual
Maintenance Schedule
Servicing and/or repair of the Generator should only be
undertaken by a TECHNICALLY COMPETENT PERSON with
the Generator in a safely isolated condition.

Due to the simplicity of the design and the small number of moving parts, the
Infinity 1051 Nitrogen Generator will have a long and trouble free life. However
as with all scientific and technical equipment it should be regularly inspected
and serviced as below.

Safely Isolated Condition
The unit is in a safely isolated condition when it is disconnected from its
application and fully de-pressurised. Directions for isolating the Generator are
shown below.
Failure to place the Generator in a safely isolated condition
when instructed to do so may lead to personal injury or injury
to others and even death.
a) Disconnect from air supply.
b) Ensure the output pressure gauge read zero. (If gauge does not fall to
zero, loosen the outlet fitting slightly to allow trapped gas to escape).
Disconnect from the application.
