General Notes
1. The FEP/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.
Please familiarise yourself with the full User Manual available at
www.peakscientific.com/downloads. This includes all other technical specifications,
operating instructions, service requirements, contact details and trouble shooting.
