START UP DISCLAIMER

The generator will be ready to be connected to your LC-MS Instrument after a 30 minute
purge run as LC-MS grade purity will be achieved within this period.
This only applies to the initial start up of the generator. Should your generator be
switched off occasionally for a period of more than 48hrs, we recommend a short purge
run of 30 minutes at 12LPM before resuming testing.

CONGRATULATIONS

Your Peak Scientific gas generator is now fully installed, operational and ready to
supply gas on demand to your instrument.

Page 15

General Notes
1. The generator is universal voltage and will operate with a 240V, 230V, 120V or 100V
mains supply.
2. 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.
