Peak service provider. Liquid Leak Detectors Liquid leak detectors should not be used on the Precision 500. These solutions are easily drawn into the high purity hydrogen gas system and can cause irreparable damage to a GC column. If a liquid solution has to be used, then it should be IPA based, or a portable hydrogen detector should be used. -
Page 23: H 2 Detector Option
Precision 500 will alarm if dangerous levels of hydrogen are detected, the Precision 500 will then shut down. Multiple detectors can be connected to one Precision 500, up to 4 in number. If this is desired, connect the first detectors ‘Out’ port to the second detectors ‘In’... -
Page 24: Gas Traps
Peak generator and the instrument to provide back-up contaminant protection for your instrument. The hydrogen gas produced by the Precision 500 will be sufficiently pure for these contaminant traps to last a long time, but should a leak ever occur on the gas line, the traps will ensure that any harmful contaminants are caught, therewith preventing potential damage to the instrument. -
