How to use this Manual
This manual is intended for end users and has been written as a reference document
where you can skip to the relevant information.
Users can refer to the contents page to find the relevant information.
Please review each of the following sections carefully.
Thank you for selecting Peak Scientific to meet your gas generation needs, and should
you require any further assistance or support please do not hesitate to contact Peak
Scientific or the Peak Partner from which you purchased your generator.
Intended Use of Equipment
MS Bench SCI 1, is a support cabinet with in-built cooling provided by fans, its top
surface and slide out tray are available for use by the customer as required for their
planned application.
MS Bench G SCI 1 is a support cabinet with an in-built Nitrogen generator. Its top
surface and internal storage space are available for use by the customer as required.
The inbuilt generator provides an output of both compressed air and nitrogen for
supply to customer application on demand via its compressors.
MS Bench SCI 2 is a support cabinet with two internal compartments, one containing
inbuilt cooling provided by fans and a slide out tray, the other open for a larger
roughing pump. The top surface is available for the customer to use for their planned
application.
MS Bench G SCI 2 is a support cabinet with an in-built nitrogen generator, with higher
gas flows than the G SCI 1. The top surface is available for the customer to use for their
planned application.

Safety Notices
Peak Scientific Instruments cannot anticipate every possible circumstance which may
represent a potential hazard. The warnings detailed within this manual refer to the most
likely potential hazards, but by definition cannot be all inclusive. If the user employs
an operating procedure, item of equipment or a method of working which is not
specifically recommended by Peak Scientific, the user must ensure that the equipment
will not be damaged or become hazardous to persons or property.
Symbols
This manual uses the following symbols to highlight specific areas important to the safe
and proper use of the generator.
A WARNING notice denotes a hazard. It calls attention to an operating procedure,
process or similar, which if not correctly performed or adhered to, could cause
personal injury or in the worst case death. Do not proceed beyond a WARNING
notice until the indicated conditions are fully understood or met.
A CAUTION notice denotes a hazard. It calls attention to an operating procedure,
process or similar, which if not correctly performed or adhered to, could cause
damage to the generator or the application. Do not proceed beyond a CAUTION
notice until the indicated conditions are fully understood or met.
Caution, risk of electric shock. Ensure power to the generator has been removed
before proceeding.
Safety Notice to Users
These instructions must be read thoroughly and understood before
installation and operation of your Peak Generator. Use of the generator
in a manner not specified by Peak Scientific MAY impair the SAFETY
provided by the equipment.
When handling, operating or carrying out any maintenance, personnel
must employ safe engineering practices and observe all relevant local
health and safety requirements and regulations. The attention of UK
users is drawn to the Health and Safety at Work Act 1974, and the
Institute of Electrical Engineers regulations.

Unpacking
Although Peak Scientific takes every precaution with safe transit and packaging, it is
advisable to fully inspect the unit for any sign of transit damage.
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.
Please save the product packaging for storage or future shipment of the generator.
Note: Included with the generator is a “Fittings Kit” containing mains power leads for
UK, EU & US and also all the required fittings and warranty registration card. Be careful
not to discard these with the packaging.

application. The contents of the Fittings Kit are as follows:
1. 1/4” Teflon Tubing x 3m* x 2
2. 5/16" Teflon Tubing x 3m* x 1
3. 6mm PE Tubing x 3m* x 1
4. 1/4” Compression Fitting* x 2

Installation
Generator Environment
The generator is designed for indoor use only. It should be installed adjacent to the
application 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.
Performance of the generator is aected by ambient conditions. Note should also be
taken to the proximity of Air Conditioning outlets. These can sometimes give rise to
“pockets” of air with high relative humidity. Operation of the unit within such a pocket
could adversely aect its performance. Consideration should also be given to the air
flow around the unit. It is recommended that an air gap of 100mm (3.9”) should be
maintained down both sides and at the rear of the unit. Please refer to the drawing on
the following page for the general dimensions of the unit.
Please ensure Generator is situated in a well vetilated environment and is positioned to
allow easy disconnection from the mains supply if required
Minimum Operating Ambient Temperature: 5 °C (41 °F)
Maximum Operating Ambient Temperature: 30 °C (86 °F)

Drain Connection (MS Bench G SCI 1 & G SCI 2 Only)
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).
If a container is used it should be emptied at regular intervals. The
container must NOT have an air tight seal as water and air are expelled
at pressure.
CAUTION

WARNING
Electrical Connection
Connect the generator to an appropriate single-phase supply, refer to the generator
serial plate for input specification and ensure your supply matches the requirements.
If an appropriate mains power cords is not supplied or a substitute one is used then
ensure that all components of it the plug, cord and connector have adequate ratings
for the generator and appropriate approvals for the country of use. Failure to do so
could cause damage to the generator or risk overloading of the power cord
This unit is classified as SAFETY CLASS 1. THIS UNIT MUST BE
EARTHED. Before connecting the unit to the mains supply, please
check the information on the serial plate. The mains supply must be of
the stated AC voltage and frequency.
EARTH/GROUND (E):- Green & Yellow or Green
LIVE (L):- Brown or Black
Neutral (N):- Blue or White
Electrical requirements are 220 - 240v ±10% (MS Bench G SCI 1& G SCI 2) & 100 - 240v
±10% (MS Bench SCI 1 & SCI 2). Running at voltages outwith this is not recommended.
Extended periods at extremes can have a detrimental eect on the operation and life of
the generator.
If the equipment is used in a manner not specified by the manufacturer,
the protection provided by the equipment maybe impaired.
