  • Page 12: Installation

    Installation Generator Environment The generator is designed for indoor use only. It should be installed adjacent to the application(s) it is supplying.

    If the supply voltage is 219V or less, a dual tap transformer must be fitted. This can be directly ordered from Peak Scientific (P/N 06-3200). If a substitute main supply cord is used, ensure that it has adequate ratings and appropriate approvals for the country of operation.
  • Page 17: Start-Up Sequence

    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 re-connecting the Generator to the mains and switching it on for the isolation run, it is necessary to fit the silencer to the outlet port of the output panel.

  • Page 19: Normal Operation

    Normal Operation The generator is designed specifically to minimize operator involvement. Given that the system is installed as described in earlier sections and is serviced in accordance with the specified maintenance recommendations (see Service Requirements), then it should simply be a matter of turning the generator on when it is required. The generator will automatically produce the factory set flow and pressure as detailed in the Technical Specifications.
  • Page 20: Generator Cycling

    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. Generators switched from high to low flow quickly will undergo a short period of expel- ling excess air.
