How to use this Installation Guide
This document is intended to be used only as a Quick Start Guide, to facilitate safe and
correct installation and initial configuration of your Peak Scientific gas generator.
For more extensive user operation directions, we recommend you download the User
Manual from the website.

Please visit www.peakscientific.com/downloads to
download the full User Manual for your gas generator.
Thank you for selecting Peak Scientific to meet your laboratory gas generation needs,
should you require any further assistance or support please do not hesitate to contact
Peak Scientific or Peak Partner from which you purchased your generator.

Safety Notices
Peak Scientific Instruments cannot anticipate every possible circumstance which may
represent a potential hazard. The warnings detailed within this document detail the
most known potential hazards, but by definition cannot be all inclusive. If the user
employs an operating procedure, item of equipment or a method of working which
is not specifically recommended by Peak Scientific, the user must ensure that the
equipment will not be damaged or become hazardous to persons or property.

Symbols
This document uses the following symbols to highlight specific areas important to the
safe and proper use of the Generator.

WARNING

A WARNING notice denotes a hazard. It calls attention to an operating procedure,
process or similar, which if not correctly performed or adhered to, could cause
personal injury or in the worst case death. Do not proceed beyond a WARNING
notice until the indicated conditions are fully understood or met.

CAUTION

A CAUTION notice denotes a hazard. It calls attention to an operating procedure,
process or similar, which if not correctly performed or adhered to, could cause
damage to the Generator or the Application. Do not proceed beyond a CAUTION
notice until the indicated conditions are fully understood or met.
Caution, risk of electric shock. Ensure power to the Generator has been removed
before proceeding.

Safety Notice to Users

WARNING

WARNING

These instructions must be read thoroughly and understood before
installation and operation of your Peak Generator. 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.
If the equipment is used in a manner not specified by the manufacturer,
the protection provided by the equipment may be impaired.

WARNING

1.

IMPORTANT
Determine what boost transformer may be required, this is
explained in the generator User Manual.

2.

Remove the transformer from all the packaging, ensuring that the two securing
screws are retained and not thrown away.

Page 4

3.

Ensure that the generator to which the transformer is to be fitted is switched OFF by
the green rocker switch, located at the front (10 Series, NM32LA, N118LA) or the rear
(QSD, SMZ, XE35) of the generator.

4.

Remove the mains cable from the mains supply socket.

3300407

Use the 4mm Hex Key 3300407 to loosen the two cap screws fixing the top plate to
the rear of the generator, then tilt up and slide backwards to release the top plate
from the generator.

5b. 10 Series, XE60, SQ24, AE32

00-0007

Use the 8mm Hex Key 00-0007 to turn the lock anti-clockwise, and remove the side door.
Page 6

6.

Do not touch anything inside the generator while the side panels are removed and
the mains power is connected to the unit.

7.
CAUTION

Plug the mains cable into an appropriate 230VAC 50/60Hz
single phase power supply.

Switch the generator power ON at the switch on the rear/front panel.

Model : GENIUS XE 35
Software : v0.00
Voltage : 230V RMS

Initialisation Time : 00:00

For Genius XE35 the volt meter is located at the top of the genetrator, and is
mounted next to the fascia. For Genius XE 35 built pre November 2021 the voltage
can be read from the HMI.
Page 8

9b. 10 Series, NM32LA

For 10 Series and NM32LA, the voltmeter is fitted under the compressor compartment.

9c. N118LA

For the N118LA, the voltmeter is located on the control panel.

**NOTE**
For generators that are not mentioned in steps 9a - 9c, there is no internal voltmeter.
The mains supply voltage should be measured to check whether a boost transformer is
required to achieve optimum generator performance. This should only be carried out
by an electrically competent and qualified person to local regulations.

If the voltmeter reads a voltage of between 220V and 253V the mains supply is
sufficient and the transformer should not be fitted.
If the voltmeter reads a voltage less than 219V then the transformer is required.
Proceed with the installation of the transformer.
Page 10

11.

Switch the generator power OFF at the switch on the rear/front panel.

12.

Remove the mains cable completely from the power supply.

Page 11

13.

Unplug the mains cable from the rear of the generator.

**NOTE**
The transformer has a ‘Dual Tap’ facility. This allows it to cover a broader range of low
supply voltages. The transformer will be supplied with the 200V tap already connected.
This will be required for most applications.
If the additional 208V tap is required, then this can be easily changed before connecting
to the generator.

194V to 212V
Voltage Reading
213V to 219V
Page 12

The 200V tap is required, no modification to the
transformer is necessary. Proceed to step 17.

The 208V tap is required. It is necessary to change the tap
inside the transformer. This is very easy and can be done by
following step 14-16.

14.

Place the transformer on its back and remove the cover retaining screw using either a
flat blade screwdriver or ¼” spanner. The cover can then be removed.

15.

The ‘Primary Taps’ are now exposed. These are clearly labelled ‘200V’ and ‘208V’.
To change the tap simply pull the connector labelled ‘200V’ off the spade terminal
and push the connector labelled ‘208V’ fully on to the terminal. The ‘200V’ tap wire
removed can be safely left loose in the compartment.
Page 13

16.

Replace the transformer cover and securely fasten with the retaining screw.
The transformer is now ready for mounting on the rear of the generator.

17.

10 Series

XE 35

Find the location on the generator where the transformer is fitted. This can be done by
looking for the M6 clinch nut threads, usually on the back on the generator.
Page 14

18.

The mounting screws provided can be screwed into the holes on the rear of the
generator. Leave approvimately 5mm protruding. The transformer can then be hung on
the protruding screws. Once located correctly the screws can be fully secured.

19.

Plug the mains cable from the transformer, labelled ‘TO GENERATOR’ into the mains socket
on the rear of the generator.

Page 15

20.

Plug the original generator mains cable into the mains inlet socket on the transformer,
labelled ‘MAINS INPUT’.

21.
CAUTION

Plug the mains cable back into the original single phase mains power supply and ensure
the power is switched ON.

Page 16

22.

Switch the generator ON again at the switch on the rear/front panel.

23.

The voltmeter should now read above 220V. If it is still below 220V and you have not fitted
the ‘208V tap’, disconnect the transformer and return to step 14.

Page 17

24.

Switch the generator OFF on the rear panel and disconnect from the mains supply.

25.

Re-attach the doors/panels to the generator, taking care to ensure the screws are
fastened/ lock is secured correctly.

Page 18

26.

Once the panels are securely assembled, the mains power supply can be
reconnected and the generator switched back ON.
