Check ‘SHOCKWATCH’ and ‘TIP-N-TELL’ labels 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 instruction supplied with the generator. It will require two people to remove the unit from the shipping crate and to manoeuvre the generator to the desired location.
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: Genius XE 35 (120V) 1. 1/4" x 1/4" Compression Fitting 2. 1/4” x 6mm Push-Fit Fitting 3.
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. Consideration should be made of the lengths of pipe runs as pressure drops can result from extended runs of pipe.
Generator Overview General Dimensions Genius XE 35 570 mm / 22.4” 710 mm / 27.9” Genius XE 70 570 mm / 22.4” 710 mm / 27.9” The generator must always be placed on a flat, level surface. Failure to do so will affect the performance of the generator. WARNING Page 14...

Drain Connection Fit the 6mm push fit fitting to the drain port at the rear of the unit. Tighten using a 16mm or 5/8” spanner. Use the 6mm tubing to connect this to a suitable drain connection or container. It should be noted that the generator can expel a considerable amount of water (dependant on ambient humidity).
If the reading is 219V or less, then we would highly recommend fitting a Dual Tap Transformer 06-3200 (XE 35) or 06-3210 (XE 70). These can be ordered directly from Peak Scientific. For Genius XE 35 (120V) voltage should not be less than 114V.
Start-Up Sequence Before the generator is connected to the application, the generator should be operated in isolation (i.e. not connected to the application) for thirty minutes. This is to ensure any impurities present are purged from the system. Failure to do this may harm the application. CAUTION Before connecting the generator to the mains and switching it on for the purge run, it is necessary to fit the silencer to the nitrogen output port...
Product Registration Before the generator will start-up for the first time the user must enter a unique 4-digit PIN code. To receive your generator’s unique PIN code, please register on the Peak website www. peakscientific.com/activate or download the Peak mobile app from the Google Play Store or Apple App Store.
