Page 14: Principle Of Operation
This technology was first described in the mid-1960s by General Electric as a method for producing electricity for the Gemini Space Program and later adapted for electrolysis. This process has been continually developed ever since. All Peak Scientific hydrogen generators utilise PEM technology . -
Page 15: General Safety
General Safety The generator only produces gas when the application places a demand on the unit. The maximum quantity of hydrogen stored in the generator at any one time is 350cc at a pressure of 6.9bar (100psi). The unit also meets the European Electromagnetic Compatibility and Low Voltage Directives. -
Page 16: Generator Safety Features
Generator Safety Features The Precision Hydrogen range have the following safety features to ensure safe and reliable operation: 1. To avoid any build up of hydrogen from leaks inside the unit; the generator features forced air ventilation. This ensures that a hydrogen / oxygen mixture cannot form inside the generator. -
Page 17: Unpacking
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. -
Page 18: Fittings Kit Contents
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. Tygon Tubing x 1m 2. Teflon Tubing x 1m 3. Deioniser Column Resin Refill 4. -
Page 19: Transit Plug Removal
Transit Plug Removal All hydrogen generators should be fitted with two Transit Plugs 3301437 during the packaging process. These plugs are fitted to the H vent and O vent of all hydrogen units and ensure no water from the internal water bottle can escape during transit. Plugs should be removed during the installation of the generator. -
Page 20: Installation
Maximum Operating Ambient Temperature: 35 °C (95 °F) Note: It is recommended that the Precision Hydrogen 1200cc unit is left to run for 3 hours, and the Precision Hydrogen Trace 1200cc unit is left to run for 24 hours before use. -

GCs since these materials will allow air and water to diffuse into the gas lines. In addition, plastic tubing can give off organic impurities which can cause ghost peaks and baseline instability. Furthermore, Peak Scientific recommend that compression fittings are used, and that the fittings are free from Teflon® tape. Ventilation... -
Page 24: Water Quality
A suitable external water bottle is available from Peak Scientific. Note: Customers should check the water quality of the external water supply once a week to maintain the health of the generator. - Page 25 If the generator cannot load enough water to switch the sensors in the water bottle the generator will alarm providing the user with the screen below. The external water supply should be checked prior to pushing the recovery button which will then re-engage the load pump and will allow the generator to continue to fill with water.
- Page 26 To resolve this, check your external supply before cycling the power on the generator. Once the low level water sensor disengages the generator will then begin producing hydrogen as before. Four- and Eight-litre water storage bottles can be purchased from Peak Scientific, please contact your Sales Representative for more information. Page 26...

Page 28: Electrical Connection
Electrical Connection Connect the generator into an appropriate voltage supply between 100-230VAC, 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 CSA, UL approved power cord, rated to at least 10 amps, can be fitted by a qualified electrician. -
Page 29: Start-Up Sequence
Start-up Sequence CHECK: Outlet is connected to application Mains power is connected Turn the power switch ON. The digital display will light up, the cooling fans will rotate and the internal pumps may automatically run to load water if the internal tanks are not full. On power-up the generator will check the water level, once the water level is at the minimum level required the generator will perform a diagnostic check including a leak test, this should take approximately six minutes. -
Page 30: H 2 Detector Option
5W. CAUTION The Precision Hydrogen 1200cc models can be purchased along with a H2 detector unit. The detector is intended for use with a GC, it is recommended that the detector unit is placed above the height of the GC outlet. The detector can be wall mounted. -
Page 31: Expanding Capacity
Expanding Capacity These are not standard serial ports, damage to serial equipment is highly likely if connected. 24Vdc signal level exists on certain pins with a maximum power rating of 5W. CAUTION The Precision Hydrogen (Trace) 1200cc has an expandable feature, where the flow ca- pacity of the unit is increased, by connecting up to 16 units in a Master-Slave format. -
Page 32: Switching The Unit Off
Switching the Unit Off The unit can be switched off at any time using the following procedure. Firstly, press the Stop button on the Touch screen, then press Menu, and finally select Shut Down. The unit will take a few moments to depressurize after which the power switch at the rear of the generator can be switched off. -
