INSTALLATION
3.
Unpack the generator from the shipping crate and place on a flat surface. To remove the transit brackets, firstly remove the RH side panel.
4.
Using the Hex-Key provided in the fittings kit, turn the locks
90 o to the right.
An earth lead is connected to the inside of the panel.
This can be disconnected by pulling it off the spade connector on the door.
5.
With the RH side panel removed you now have access to the RH transit brackets. These are located under both of the RH compressors and are painted red. To remove the transit brackets remove the 4 screws on each bracket as indicated.
Once these screws have been removed the transit brackets can be pulled out as shown.

Remove the LH side panel as before, taking care to disconnect the earth lead located on the inside of the door panel.
Repeat steps 4 and 5 to remove the LH transit brackets located under both of the LH compressors. These will pull out in the same way.
**NOTE**
Do not discard the transit brackets or screws as these will be needed again if the unit is to be transported from its current location.

2m Nylon to Drain
From the fittings kit, select the 6mm push-fit fitting and connect it to the port marked
‘DRAIN’ on the rear of the unit using a 16mm or 5/8” spanner.
Connect the 2m Nylon tube to the drain line, ensure the tube is pushed fully in and gripped securely by the fitting.
Fit the other end of the drain line to a suitable drain connection or container. The container must NOT have an airtight seal as water and air will be expelled periodically under a slight pressure.

Select the appropriate mains cable from the fittings kit and plug the IEC 60320/C19 socket into the mains input at the rear of the generator.
Plug the mains cable into an appropriate 230VAC 50/60Hz single phase power supply
**NOTE**
Do not touch anything inside the generator while the side panels are removed and the mains power is connected to the unit.

The voltmeter is located on top of the electrical panel. This will measure and display the mains voltage that is being supplied to the generator.
Note the displayed voltage.
**NOTE**
If the displayed voltage is 219V or less* we would highly recommend fitting a transformer. This can be ordered directly from Peak Scientific, Peak part number is...

Switch the generator back ON.
20.
Leave the generator switched on for a period of 30 minutes to purge the system.
21.
The ‘CURTAIN’ ‘SOURCE’ & ‘EXHAUST’ pressure gauges on the front of the generator will gradually increase from 0 to
85, 110 & 70psi, respectively as the pressure in the internal storage tanks increases.
22.
After 30 minutes of running, the generator can be turned off. Allow the stored gas in the internal tanks to dissipate.

General Notes
* The generator will operate on voltages of 230VAC +/- 10%. This means it will operate between 207V and 253V. If the generator is operated on a supply voltage of less than 220V the internal compressors will work harder and the service life of the compressors will be reduced. It is ok to operate the generator on a mains voltage between 207V and 220V for a short period of time, however we would recommend fitting the listed transformer at your earliest convenience. Mains voltages between
220V and 253V no transformer is required.
** The 9m length of Teflon tube supplied in the fittings kit is to allow up to 3m of tubing per output, for 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 10m. For further information relating to tubing lengths please refer to the user manual.
For all other technical specifications, operating instructions, service requirements, contact details and trouble shooting, please refer to the user manual contained on the CD supplied in the fittings kit.
Please keep this for future reference.
