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.
Performance of the generator (like all sophisticated equipment) 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 75mm (3”) should be maintained down both sides and at the rear of the unit. Please
refer to the drawing below for the general dimensions of the unit.
Minimum Operating Ambient Temperature: 5 °C (41 °F)
Maximum Operating Ambient Temperature: 30 °C (86 °F)

Rear Connections
Supplied in the Fittings Kit are all the fittings required to connect the MS Table
Generator to the application. The contents of the Fittings Kit are as follows:
Drain Connection
For users of the 1N and 2N Hi-Flow, use the ¼” Teflon tubing to connect the drain
outlet to a suitable drain connection. 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.

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 13 amps, can
be fitted by a qualified electrician.
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 110 or 230VAC nominal +/- 10% depending on chosen
model. However, running continuously 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.
WARNING

Page 17
Air Connection
The Table–1N/2N Hi Flow Generator should be connected to a clean, dry, OIL – FREE
source of compressed air. A minimum inlet pressure of 120 psig (8.3 barg) is required.
Any doubts as to the suitability of your compressed air supply should be referred to
Peak Scientific or any of their authorised partners.
The Compressed Air supply should be connected to the inlet located at the rear of the
unit as shown in the Rear Connections section of this manual.
Air Purity
The MS Table generator should be connected to an air supply that, as a minimum,
meets ISO8753-1:2010 Class 1.4.1
Class 1 Particulate
In each cubic metre of compressed air, the particulate count should not exceed 20,000
particles in the 0.1 - 0.5 micron size range, 400 particles in the 0.5 - 1 micron range and
10 particles in the 1 - 5 micron size range.
Class 4 Water
A pressure dew point (PDP) of +3°C or better is required and no liquid water is allowed.
Class 1 Oil
In each cubic metre of compressed air, not more than 0.01mg of oil is allowed. This is a
total level for liquid oil, oil aerosol and oil vapour.

Page 18
Connecting to the application
Once the initial purge run of 30 minutes has completed the generator is now ready to
be connected to the application(s).
The pressure in the internal storage tanks must be allowed to dissipate
before connecting the generator to the application(s)
Attach the ¼” compression fitting to the outlet of the generator. Using the ¼” tubing
supplied, connect the outlet of the generator to the inlet on the application.
If you require more tubing than is supplied please refer to the Tubing Lengths section.
Once the tubing is connected to the application, please ensure that it
is thoroughly checked for being leak-tight. Even the slightest leak in
the gas supply between the generator and the application can lead to
a reduction in eciency.
Tubing Lengths
The diameter of the tubing which will be connected to the gas outlet is
important and is determined by the length of tubing required. Failure
to follow these recommendations could lead to pressure between
generator and application.
< 10 meters: Use ¼”/3⁄16” (¼” O/D, 3⁄16” I/D) P.T.F.E. tubing.
> 10 - 40 meters: Use 3⁄8”/ 5⁄16” (3⁄8” O/D, 5⁄16” I/D). Tubing and fittings not supplied
in the fittings kit.
> 40 metres: Please contact Peak Scientific with the relevant distance and
we will calculate the flow resistance and the tubing size required.
A combination of ¼”/3⁄16” and 3⁄8”/5⁄16” tubing may be used to ensure that there is no large
diameter tubing within the lab (i.e. for the first 20 meters from the generator use 3⁄8”/5⁄16”
and the final 10 meters to the application use ¼”/3⁄16” tubing). Keep the connections and
bends to a minimum.
