Installation
Generator Environment
The Generator is designed for indoor use only. It should be installed adjacent to the application(s) 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. Please see the Tubing lengths section for further details. 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, at the rear and across the top of the unit. Please refer to the drawing below for the general dimensions of the unit. Maximum Ambient Conditions: 35°C (dry bulb) 80%RH (Max) Non-Condensing

General Dimensions

1330mm

Figure 1 – General Dimensions The Generator must always be placed on a level surface. Failure to do so will affect the performance of the Generator.

Removal of Transit Brackets
The transit brackets must be removed prior to switching the unit on. Failure to do so will result in damage to the equipment. This will void the warranty on the Generator and will result in a chargeable repair. 1. Using the 8mm hex key from the Fittings Kit, remove the side covers from the cabinet ensuring that earth cables are disconnected. Remove the four screws with a #3 Pozidrive Screwdriver. Slide the transit bracket out from under the compressor by pulling it towards you. Repeat this for the compressor on the other side of the Generator. Retain the transit brackets as these must be refitted if the Generator is to be transported again.

Electrical Connection
Connect the Generator to a 230 volt single-phase supply using the power cord provided. If the appropriate power cord is not supplied; a new plug, rated to at least 12 amps, can be fitted by a qualified electrician. 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. EARTH/GROUND (E):LIVE (L):Neutral (N):Green & Yellow Brown Blue or or or Green Black White

Our electrical requirements are 230VAC nominal +/- 10%. This means that the Generator can accommodate transients between 207VAC and 253VAC. However, running continuously at voltages less than 220V is not recommended and extended periods at these extremes can have a detrimental effect on the operation and life of the Generator. To ensure that the correct voltage is being supplied to the Generator, the Genius 3023 comes equipped with an inbuilt voltmeter. This is located on the underside of the compressor compartment, Figure 4 below, and will measure and display the mains voltage that is being supplied to the Generator.
Voltmeter

Figure 4: Voltmeter Location The voltmeter should be checked prior to the initial purge of the system. To do this, with the doors remaining off and with the Generator still connected to the

Page 16 2015 © Peak Scientific – Rev 2A – 26/02/15

Genius 3023 User Manual
230 volt single-phase supply, the unit should be powered ON using the power switch (identified by “I”).

Do not touch anything inside the Generator whilst the side panels are removed and the mains power is connected to the unit When the Generator is switched on, the input voltage will be displayed on the voltmeter. If this reading is 219V or less, then we would highly recommend fitting a transformer. This can be ordered directly from Peak Scientific with the order number being as below.
Product Description Dual Tap Transformer 200V – 230V Part Number 06-3210

Table 1: Additional Transformer On completing the voltage check, the Generator should be powered OFF using the switch on the front panel, the power cord removed from the rear of the generator and the door panels refitted.

Ensure the Earth wires are reconnected to the side covers when refitting.

Selector Switches
The Genius 3023 generator incorporates two completely separate systems delivering two separate outputs. With the generator powered on, either system can be switched on or off when necessary, by using the selector switches on the front panel, see Figure 2. Either system can be turned on or off at any time.

Page 17 2015 © Peak Scientific – Rev 2A – 26/02/15

Genius 3023 User Manual
Initial Purge Run
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. Before re-connecting the Generator to the mains and switching it on for the isolation run, it is necessary to fit the silencer (supplied in the fittings kit) to the outlet ports of the output panel as shown below.

Flow Control Silencer

Figure 5: Fitting Silencer

For both systems to operate and complete the initial purge run, it is necessary to switch both of the system selector switches, shown in Figure 2, to the ‘ON’ position. Please note that both systems operate on the same platform with the same working components though completely separately from each other thus giving two completely separate sources of Nitrogen. Once this is done, the Generator can be re-connected to the mains and switched on. Pressure will start to build in both systems in their respective internal storage tanks which can be monitored by watching the output pressure gauge on the front panel. This will climb to the factory set pressures as noted in the specifications.

Page 18 2015 © Peak Scientific – Rev 2A – 26/02/15

Genius 3023 User Manual
Once this pressure is reached, the compressors in each system will continue to run until the internal tanks upper pressure limit for that system is reached and the compressors have 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 systems have been operated for a period of 30 minutes, all the internal pipe-work 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. Should a system be disconnected from its application, the 30 minute purge run must be performed on that system before re-connecting it to its specified application.

Page 19 2015 © Peak Scientific – Rev 2A – 26/02/15

Genius 3023 User Manual
Connecting to the Application
Once the initial purge run of 30 minutes has completed the Generator is now ready to be connected to the application(s). The pressure in the internal storage tanks must be allowed to dissipate before disconnecting the flow control silencer and connecting the Generator to the application(s)

Attach either the 6mm elbow or ¼” compression fittings to the outlets of the Generator. Using the 6mm or 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. 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
The diameter of the tubing which will be connected to the gas outlet 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 - 40 meters: > 40 metres: Use 6/4 (6mm O/D, 4mm I/D) P.T.F.E. tubing. Use 10/8 (10mm O/D, 8mm I/D). Tubing and fittings not supplied in the fittings kit. Please contact Peak Scientific with the relevant distance and we will calculate the flow resistance and the tubing size required.

A combination of 6/4 and 10/8 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 10/8 and the final 10 meters to the application use 6/4 tubing). Keep the connections and bends to a minimum. The imperial equivalents are: 6/4 = 1/4” O/D, 3/16” I/D. 10/8 = 3/8” O/D, 5/16” I/D.

Normal Operation
The Genius 3023 Gas 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
The Generators individual systems produce gas on demand. If the application is operating and requires a gas flow, the system it is connected to will supply this to suit the requirements of the application. If the application requirement for gas stops, the system will also stop, once it has reached its upper set limit in the internal storage tanks. If the demand from the application starts again, the system will detect the demand for gas and will automatically start again to suit the demand.

Generator Cycling
The Generator and its individual systems are designed for the internal compressors to cycle. This cycling reduces the duty (run time) on the compressors. The rate at which they cycle will be dependent on the gas required to satisfy the demand of the application. If the application demands the maximum gas flow of the system, the compressor duty on that system will be higher, (the rest period in the compressor cycle will be shorter). If the application demand is lower than the maximum gas flow, then the duty on the compressors will decrease, (the rest period in the compressor cycle will be longer). If the Generator is installed in an extreme environment or is subjected to low supply voltage or high altitude the compressors may undergo periods where they do not cycle (see High Duty Indication).

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 Genius 3023 counts the accumulative run-time (in hours) for the internal compressors. The Generator has the following Service Indication Stages for each system:-

Stage 1
Once either system reaches a total of 5000 run hours the service LED indicator (yellow) on the front of the Generator will illuminate. The screen located on the PLC will indicate which system and compressor(s) are due a service. This is to make the user aware that a service of the system is due and should be planned at the earliest convenience. The Generator will continue to operate as normal with the LED on.
It is highly recommended that the compressors are serviced or replaced after 5000 run hours to prevent any unplanned downtime. Please contact your service provider for more information

Page 23 2015 © Peak Scientific – Rev 2A – 26/02/15

Genius 3023 User Manual
Stage 2
If the service is not completed the Generator will continue to run. Once the system reaches a total of 5250 run hours, the service LED indicator (yellow) will start to flash. The screen located on the PLC will indicate which system and compressor are due a service. 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.

Once 5250 hours is reached it is highly likely that the compressors will fail in the near future. Please contact your service provider as soon as possible to arrange a service or replacement of your compressors.

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.

Service Plans
Peak Scientific offer two service plans. The Complete Service Plan, specifically designed for Generators operated in critical environments, also includes full breakdown cover, guaranteed response times and Generator upgrades if available. Our Standard Service Plan, covering the basic needs of our Generators, features special deals on spare parts and breakdowns. If you want to know more about our Service Plan options and how we ensure that your instrument can run with the maximum uptime and performance, please contact us at maintenance@peakscientific.com

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. Cleaning should only be undertaken with the power switched off and the power cord removed from the rear of the Generator.

Page 24 2015 © Peak Scientific – Rev 2A – 26/02/15

Genius 3023 User Manual
Under no circumstances should any solvents or abrasive cleaning solutions be used as these can contain fumes that could be harmful to the Generator.

High Duty Indication
The Genius 3023 has a ‘HIGH DUTY’ indicator on the front panel. This indicator monitors the running condition of the internal compressors of both systems and illuminates when they have been operating continually for a period of 8 hours. There are a number of extreme conditions that can affect the duty cycling of the compressors inside the Genius 3023. These extremes include very high ambient temperatures, low supply voltages, a very high flow requirement and locations of high altitude. Any one of these or a combination of a number of these extremes can be evident in a customer site. While the Genius 3023 Generator is designed to operate fully in these conditions it should be noted that the effect of these extremes can force the compressors to run continuously. The compressors are fully capable of running continuously with no detrimental effect. However it should be noted that if this is the case it will increase their duty and they will reach the 5000 hour recommended service interval quicker.

High Duty Indication Reset
If the compressors in either system have been operating continuously for a period of 8 hours the indicator light will be illuminated. Once the compressor(s) return to a cycling mode the indicator light will automatically switch off. There is no manual intervention required.

Indication of Fault
In most installations the ‘HIGH DUTY’ indicator will never be illuminated. If your Genius 3023 Generator has been operating for a significant period of time, then suddenly develops a ‘HIGH DUTY’ indication with no apparent change in environmental conditions or flow requirements, it may be indicative of a problem with the system such as an external leak or imminent compressor failure. If this is the case you should contact Peak Scientific or your service provider. It should be noted that the Generator will continue to operate so long as it can maintain pressure during this indication.
