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 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: ” Teflon Tubing x 9m ¼ 2. 6mm PE Tubing x 3m ”...
Installation Generator Environment The generator should be situated in a well ventilated environment, with at least a 75mm (3”) air gap all around it and should be positioned such that it can be easily disconnected from the mains supply if required. 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.
Generator Overview General Dimensions 600 mm / 23.6” 750 mm / 29.5” The generator must always be placed on a flat, level surface. Failure to do so will affect the performance of the generator. WARNING Page 15...

Drain Connection Fit the 6mm push fit fitting to the drain port located on the output panel. 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 from this (dependant on ambient humidity).
The voltmeter should be checked prior to the initial purge of the system. If the reading is 219V or less, then we would highly recommend fitting a Dual Tap Transformer 06-3200. This can be ordered directly from Peak Scientific. Page 18...
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 Following the voltage check, (see Page 16), the unit should be switched off and silencers fitted to each of the three outlet ports of the output panel (ref Install Guide).

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.
Run Time Alarm The Genius 1024 monitors the operating tank pressures, in this case the N2. When this is at the set point, there is no alarm. Only when the pressure drops to a pre-determined set point will the alarm be activated, indicating LOW pressure.
Troubleshooting Problem Possible Solution • Ensure power cord is plugged into the Generator and that the power socket is turned on. The Generator will not switch on and the power switch does not illuminate. • Check the fuse in the power cord plug. •...
