Important!
You must register your generator before nitrogen generation can commence. In
order to be eligible for warranty your generator must be registered to the end
user (not a reseller or distributor) and must have a paid annual preventative
maintenance arranged within 12 months of the installation date & carried out by
a Peak approved Field Service Engineer. Once registered the warranty will be
honoured for a period of 24 months.**
* 2nd year warranty subject to completion of preventative maintenance visit arranged within 12 months of installtion.
For terms and conditions please visit www.peakscientific.com/warranty-statement/
** Call out and labour charges may apply where generator was not purchased directly from Peak

First remove the compressor transit brackets.
These can be accessed by removing the generator’s right-hand side and top panels.
Starting with the top panel, use the 4mm Hex Key 3300407 to loosen the two
cap screws fixing the top plate to the rear of the generator, then tilt up and slide
backwards to release the top plate from the generator.

Connect the 6mm Polyethylene Tubing 00-1282 to the 6mm Push Fit Fitting 02-4600.
Fit the other end of the tubing to a suitable drain connection or container. The
container MUST NOT have an airtight seal as water and air will be expelled
periodically under a slight pressure. The generator will expel up to 5L per 24 hours
depending on ambient humidity.

SERIAL: [ XXXXXXXXXXXX ]

I’ve got my pin

Before the generator will start-up for the first time the user must enter a unique 4-digit
PIN code.
To receive your generator’s unique PIN code, please register on the Peak website www.
peakscientific.com/activate or by downloading the Peak mobile app from the Google Play
Store or Apple App Store. A PIN code may also be requested by phoning the Peak helpdesk.
You will require the generator serial number which is displayed on the screen below.
This code is only required on the initial start-up of the unit on the screen on the front
of the generator.

Initialisation Time : 00:00

Continue...

The generator will now initialise. To ensure that the correct voltage is being supplied to
the generator, the generator will show the supply voltage on its front display. The voltage
reading should be checked prior to the initial purge of the system. The supply voltage will
be displayed on the touch screen when the generator is switched on. If the reading is 198V
or less, then we would highly recommend fitting a Dual Tap Transformer 06-3200
(XE 35) or 06-3210 (XE 70). This can be ordered directly from Peak Scientific.
For Genius XE 35 (120V) voltage should not be less than 114V.

If required, the output pressure can be adjusted using the pressure regulator at the rear of
the generator. View the pressure gauge below the regulator when setting the pressure.

The generator will once again show the initialisation screen.

START UP DISCLAMER

The generator will be ready to be connected to your LC-MS/MS Instrument after a 30
minute purge run as LC-MS/MS grade purity will be achieved within this period. For some
other instruments, including AP-GC we recommend a purge run of 12 hours at full flow to
ensure no interference during analysis.
This only applies to the initial start up of the generator. Should your generator be
switched off occasionally for a period of up to 48hrs, we recommend a short purge run of
30 minutes at 12LPM before resuming testing.

General Notes
1. Electrical requirements for 230V generators are 195V - 253V 50/60Hz. If the reading
is 198V or less, then we would highly recommend fitting a Dual Tap Transformer
06-3200 (XE 35) or 06-3210 (XE 70). This can be ordered directly from Peak Scientific.
For Genius XE 35 (120V) voltage should not be less than 114V.
2. Electrical requirements for the 120V generator is 114V to 126V at 60 Hz.
3. 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 3m.
For further information relating to tubing lengths please refer to the user manual.
