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. 6mm Teflon Tubing x 6m 2. ¼” Teflon Tubing x 6m 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, 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” 850 mm / 33.5” 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...
Electrical Connection Connect the generator to an appropriate 110 or 230 volt 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.
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 silencers (supplied in the fittings kit) to the outlet ports of...
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 19...
