Introduction
The Corona 1010 has been developed by Peak Scientific in conjunction with Thermo
Fisher Scientific to supply pure Nitrogen to their Charged Aerosol Detectors (CAD).
The Corona 1010 generates gas at the right flow, pressures and purities required by the
Charge Aerosol Detector and has been fully tested and approved by Thermo.
Peak Scientific offers a compact, stackable solution with their Corona products, but
also with a Corona Veo CAD itself.
Other features include:
•
Generates Nitrogen on demand from compressed air.
•
Effective and reliable membrane technology.
•
Minimum maintenance with only a filter change per annum.
•
Small and Stackable.
To ensure these generator models meet our high expectations with regards to reliability
and performance, we have tested them extensively at our manufacturing plant and with
end users around the world to ensure reliability and longevity of the system.

Unpacking
Although Peak Scientific takes every precaution with safe transit and packaging, it is
advisable to fully inspect the unit for any sign of transit damage.
Check ‘SHOCKWATCH’ and ‘TIP-N-TELL’ labels for signs of rough handling prior to
unpacking.
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 bench.
Please save the product packaging for storage or future shipment of the generator.
Note: Included with the generator is a “Fittings Kit” containing mains power leads for
UK, EU & US and also all the required fittings and warranty registration card. Be careful
not to discard these with the packaging.
Page 11
Fittings Kit Contents
Supplied in the Fittings Kit are all the fittings required to connect the generator to the
application. The contents of the Fittings Kit are as follows:
1. Teflon Tubingx 3m
2. ¼” Compression Fittingx 1
3. UK Mains Power Cablex 1
4. EU Mains Power Cablex 1
5. US Mains Power Cable 110v
x1
6. US Mains Power Cable 230v
x1
All of the generators output ports are located on the output panel at the rear of the
unit.
Unpacking Instructions
The unit weight constitutes a two person lift and as such, safe lifting practices should
be employed; do not attempt to lift on your own, as you will significantly increase the
chance of injury & damage to yourself and others around you.
1. Remove the plastic banding and remove the cardboard lid and sleeve.
2. Next, with someone on either side of the unit, position your hands underneath the
unit ready to lift.
3. Ensuring your knees are bent and your back is straight, lift the unit to the desired
location.
Page 12
Installation
Generator Environment
The generator is designed for indoor use only. It should be installed adjacent to
the application(s) it is supplying. If this is not convenient then the unit can be sited
elsewhere, however, consideration should be made of the lengths of pipe runs as
pressure drops can result from extended runs of pipe.
The performance of the generator (like all sophisticated equipment) is affected by
ambient conditions. Note should also be taken to the proximity of Air Conditioning
outlets. These can sometimes give rise to “pockets” of air with high relative humidity.
Operation of the unit within such a pocket could adversely affect its performance.
Consideration should also be given to the air flow around the unit. It is recommended
that an air gap of 75mm (3”) should be maintained down both sides and at the rear of
the unit. Please refer to the drawing below for the general dimensions of the unit.
Minimum Operating Ambient Temperature:
5 °C (41 °F)
Maximum Operating Ambient Temperature:
35 °C (95 °F)

The generator must always be placed on a flat, level surface. Failure to
do so will affect the performance of the generator.

Electrical Connection
Connect the generator to an appropriate 100-230v single-phase supply, refer to the
generator serial plate for input specification and ensure your supply matches the
requirements.
If the appropriate power cord is not supplied; a new plug, rated to at least 12 amps, can
be fitted by a qualified electrician.
WARNING
This unit is classified as SAFETY CLASS 1. THIS UNIT MUST BE
EARTHED. Before connecting the unit to the mains supply, please
check that your electrical supply falls within the specified range, see
below.
EARTH/GROUND (E):-

Electrical requirements are 100-230v nominal +/- 10% depending on chosen model.
However, running continuously at voltages outside this is not recommended. Extended
periods at extremes can have a detrimental effect on the operation and life of the
generator.
If the equipment is used in a manner not specified by the manufacturer,
the protection provided by the equipment maybe impaired.
WARNING
Page 16
Air Purity
The Corona 1010 generator should be connected to an air supply that, as a minimum,
meets ISO8753-1:2010 Class 1.4.1
Class 1 Particulate
In each cubic metre of compressed air, the particulate count should not exceed 20,000
particles in the 0.1 - 0.5 micron size range, 400 particles in the 0.5 - 1 micron range and
10 particles in the 1 - 5 micron size range.
Class 4 Water
A pressure dew point (PDP) of +3°C or better is required and no liquid water is allowed.
Class 1 Oil
In each cubic metre of compressed air, not more than 0.01mg of oil is allowed. This is a
total level for liquid oil, oil aerosol and oil vapour.
Page 17
Start-Up Sequence
Switch the generator on using the power switch on the rear panel of the unit. The LEDs
on the front panel will illuminate YELLOW for the start-up period.
YELLOW
The generator will provide Nitrogen almost instantaneously, assuming it has a suitable
air supply. The fascia illuminates GREEN to indicate adequate internal pressure has
been achieved.
GREEN
On Demand Gas
The generator will produce nitrogen on demand. If the application is operating
and requires a gas flow, the system it is connected to will supply this to suit the
requirements of the application. If the application requirement for gas stops, the system
will also stop. If the demand from the application starts again, the system will detect
the demand for gas and will automatically start again to suit the demand.
Unusual Operation
If at any time the generator begins to emit excessive noise or vibration, then it should
be switched off and you should contact Peak Scientific or the Peak Partner from which
the generator has been purchased.
Page 18
Connecting to the application
Once the LEDs have turned green, the generator is ready to be connected to the
application(s).
The pressure in the internal storage tanks must be allowed to dissipate
before connecting the generator to the application(s)
CAUTION
Attach the ¼” compression fitting to the outlet of the generator. Using suitable ¼”
tubing, and connect the outlet of the generator to the inlet on the application.
Please refer to the Tubing Lengths section, to ensure correct tubing is being used.
CAUTION
Once the tubing is connected to the application, please ensure that it
is thoroughly checked for being leak-tight. Even the slightest leak in
the gas supply between the generator and the application can lead to
a reduction in efficiency.
Tubing Lengths
CAUTION
The diameter of the tubing which will be connected to the gas outlet is
important and is determined by the length of tubing required. Failure
to follow these recommendations could lead to pressure between
generator and application.
< 10 meters:
Use ¼”/3⁄16” (¼” O/D, 3⁄16” I/D) P.T.F.E. tubing.
> 10 - 40 meters: Use 3⁄8”/ 5⁄16” (3⁄8” O/D, 5⁄16” I/D). Tubing and fittings not supplied
in the fittings kit.
> 40 metres:
Please contact Peak Scientific with the relevant distance and
we will calculate the flow resistance and the tubing size required.
A combination of ¼”/3⁄16” and 3⁄8”/5⁄16” tubing may be used to ensure that there is no large
diameter tubing within the lab (i.e. for the first 20 meters from the generator use 3⁄8”/5⁄16”
and the final 10 meters to the application use ¼”/3⁄16” tubing). Keep the connections and
bends to a minimum.

Cleaning
Clean the outside of the generator only using warm soapy water and a clean damp
cloth. Ensure all excess fluid is thoroughly removed from the cloth prior to use.
Cleaning should only be undertaken with the power switched off and
the power cord removed from the rear of the generator.
CAUTION
Under no circumstances should any solvents or abrasive cleaning
solutions be used as these can contain fumes that could be harmful to
the generator.
Care should be taken with Leak Detections Liquids.
