Table 1 - Safety Symbols

Safety Notice to Users
These instructions must be read thoroughly and understood before installation and operation of your Peak Scientific Infinity 9000. Use of the Generator in a manner not specified by Peak Scientific MAY impair the SAFETY provided by the equipment. When handling, operating or carrying out any maintenance, personnel must employ safe engineering practices and observe all relevant local health and safety requirements and regulations. The attention of UK users is drawn to the Health and Safety at Work Act 1974, and the Institute of Electrical Engineers regulations.

Nitrogen is not a poisonous gas, but if the concentration in the inhaled air becomes too high there will be a risk of asphyxiation.

Introduction
The Peak Scientific Infinity 9000 Nitrogen Generator is designed specifically for use with LCMSMS applications, but has also been used successfully for Turbovap or ELSD applications. The generator has been designed to produce Nitrogen from an existing source of dry, oil free, compressed air in the laboratory.

Unpacking and Installation
Although Peak Scientific take every precaution with safe transit and packaging, it is advisable to fully inspect the unit for any sign of transit damage. Check ‘SHOCKWATCH’ label for signs of rough handling prior to un-packing –

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 onto the floor. Please save the product packaging for storage or future shipment of the Generator. After unpacking and a visual inspection, the unit should be placed in a ventilated area away from direct sunlight. Care should be taken not to obstruct the ventilation holes on the side of the unit. The Generator should be placed on a steady and level base. The Infinity 9000 has been designed to fit under most workbenches. Alternatively, the unit may be wall mounted using the fixing slots provided. Performance of the Generator (like all sophisticated equipment) is affected by ambient temperatures. Prolonged operation in temperatures exceeding 30°C will shorten the life of the unit.

Air Connection
Infinity 9000 Generator should be connected to a clean, dry, OIL - FREE source of compressed air. A minimum inlet pressure of 100 psig (6.7 barg) is required. Any doubts as to the suitability of your compressed air supply should be referred to Peak Scientific or any of their authorised partners. The generator has a Breathing Air Filter with ¼” BSPT connection to the left side of the unit. The Compressed Air supply should be connected here. This filter will drain moisture and is equipped with an automatic drain. The drain should be led to a convenient place. Nitrogen outlet is via an Activated Carbon reverse-acting filter mounted on the right side, again with a ¼” BSPT connection for outlet.

Fittings Kit
Supplied in the Fittings Kit are all the fittings required to connect the Infinity 9000 Generator to the application. The contents of the Fittings Kit are as follows: 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6mm Push Fit Tube Fitting 6mm Tubing N8 Supa Counter Sunk Screw Raw plug for No.8 Screw User Manual – Infinity 9000 ×2 × 3m x2 x2 ×1

All of the Generator output ports are located on the output panel at the rear of the Generator.

Commissioning
With the Generator installed as previously described, open the air supply to the unit. The Generator has been pre-set in the factory to give the specified output flow-rate and pressure. On reaching operational pressure the Generator will produce Nitrogen. The design of the generator is such that it will deliver up to the rated output flow of Nitrogen at 100 psig (6.7 barg). Flow at any time is determined by demand of the consuming equipment. In circumstances of no demand, the generator remains operational and will provide nitrogen immediately as demand resumes.

Pressure & Flow Settings
Generator Infinity 9000 Flow/Pressure 34l/min @ 100psig

The above settings should allow the generator to be operated with all standard configurations of instruments. Should the above settings not provide sufficient flow or pressure for your application please contact Peak Scientific for assistance.

Maintenance Schedule
Servicing and/or repair of the Generator should only be undertaken by a TECHNICALLY COMPETENT PERSON with the Generator in a safely isolated condition.

Due to the simplicity of the design and the small number of moving parts, the Infinity 9000 Nitrogen Generators will have a long and trouble free life. However as with all scientific and technical equipment it should be regularly inspected and serviced as below.

Service Schedule
Service interval 12 months Component Element Active Carbon Element 0.01 micron RAC Filter Element Part No. 00-0046 00-0045 00-0041 Qty. 1 1 1

As an alternative to purchasing the 12 month service items individually an Annual Service Kit is available as one part number. This contains all the filters required for this Generator. Purchase Interval 12 months Component Annual Service Kit Part No. 08-0316 Qty. 1

Safely Isolated Condition
The unit is in a safely isolated condition when it is disconnected from its application and fully de-pressurised. Directions for isolating the Generator are shown below. Failure to place the Generator in a safely isolated condition when instructed to do so may lead to personal injury or injury to others and even death. a) Disconnect from air supply. b) Ensure the output pressure gauge read zero. (If gauge does not fall to zero, loosen the outlet fitting slightly to allow trapped gas to escape). Disconnect from the application.
