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.
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.
Removing the generator from the shipping crate The generator weighs over 57kg and as such should be unpacked by two people using the following method. All the screws encircled in RED should first be removed from the shipping crate, there are approximately 16 screws, and the front door should then be removed.
Generator Overview General Dimensions 430.00 mm 410.00 mm The generator must always be placed on a flat, level surface. Failure to do so will affect the performance of the generator. WARNING Page 17...
Removal of Transit Brackets The transit brackets must be removed prior to switching the unit on. Failure to do so will result in damage to the equipment. This will void the warranty on the Generator and will result in a chargeable repair. CAUTION To remove the transit bracket first remove the 11 screws on the front panel as shown, then remove the front panel from the generator.
Wall Mounting The NG range generator is designed to be mounted against a wall for safety reasons. Supplied in the generator fittings kit are all the fittings required to wall mount the generator. Detailed below are the necessary steps to mount the unit to a wall. Locate the screw in the top rear corner of the unit, beside the yellow warning label.
Rear Connections The Nitrogen Generator should be connected to a clean, dry source of compressed air. A minimum pressure of 120 psi is required. Any doubts as to the suitability of the compressed air supply should be referred to the factory for advice. The generator has two ¼”...
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 With the generator installed as described earlier, connect power to the unit and turn it on.
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 23...
