Check ‘SHOCKWATCH’ and ‘TIP-N-TELL’ labels for signs of rough handling prior to unpacking. 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 to the desired location. Please save the product packaging for storage or future shipment of the generator. Note: Included with the generator is a “Fittings Kit” containing mains power leads for UK, EU & US and also all the required fittings and warranty registration card. Be careful not to discard these with the packaging. Page 9 Fittings Kit Contents Supplied in the Fittings Kit are all the fittings required to connect the generator to the application. The contents of the Fittings Kit are as follows: 1. 5mm Allen key x2 x3 3. ¼” Compression Tube Fitting x2 2. 6mm Push Fit Tube Fitting 4. 6mm High Temp Tubing x 6m 5. ¼” Teflon Tubing x 6m 6. C19 Mains Cable (UK) x 1 7. C19 Mains Cable (Euro) x 1 8. C19 Mains Cable (US) x 1 9. Flow Control Silencer x 2 All of the generators output ports are located on the output panel at the rear of the unit. Page 10 Installation Generator Environment 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: 35 °C (95 °F) Page 11 Generator Overview General Dimensions 570 mm / 22.4” 870 mm / 34.2” 765 mm / 30.1" The generator must always be placed on a flat, level surface. Failure to do so will affect the performance of the generator. WARNING Page 12 Rear Connections Mains Cable ¼" Compression Fitting 6mm Push-Fit Fitting Unit Controls Service LED Purity LED Power Switch N2 Pressure Gauge Air Pressure Gauge Page 13 Drain Connection Fit the 6mm push fit fitting (item 2 from fittings kit) to the drain port located on the output panel (see Figure ). Tighten using a 16mm or 5/8” spanner. Use the 6mm tubing (item 4 from fittings kit) 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 Page 14 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. 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 the appropriate power cord is not supplied; a new plug, rated to at least 13 amps, can be fitted by a qualified electrician. 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. EARTH/GROUND (E):- Green & Yellow or Green LIVE (L):- Brown or Black Neutral (N):- Blue or 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. If the voltage supply is uncertain then a voltage check is highly recommended. If a substitute main supply cord is used, ensure that it has adequate rating. Failure to do so could cause damage to the generator. Do not touch anything inside the Generator whilst the side panels are removed and the mains power is connected to the unit WARNING If the customer site is known to have a low power supply where the voltage reading is 219V or less, then we would highly recommend fitting a Dual Tap Transformer 06-3210. This can be ordered directly from Peak Scientific. Page 15 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) until the light on the front cover illuminates green. This signifies that the purity of the output nitrogen is 99.5% and ensures any impurities present are purged from the system. Failure to do this may harm the application. Following the voltage check, 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. The Generator is now purged and the tubes can be connected at the rear of the unit. Page 16 Connecting to the application Once the initial purge run has completed, the generator 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 either the 6mm elbow or ¼” compression fitting to the outlet of the Generator. Using the 6mm or ¼” tubing supplied, connect the outlet of the Generator to the inlet 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 6/4 (6mm O/D, 4mm I/D) P.T.F.E. tubing. > 10 - 40 meters: Use 10/8 (10mm O/D, 8mm 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 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. Page 17 10/8 = 3/8” O/D, 5/16” I/D. 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. 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.

Page 19 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 PCB. This will be performed by the Peak Service Engineer or trained service representative that completes the service operation.
