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.

Introduction
The Genius 1022, 1023 & NM32LA (All models) have been developed to cater for LC/MS
systems which require a Nitrogen gas supply.
These models provide a source of Nitrogen gas with other features including:
• Small in size – fits under a standard lab bench
• Anti- vibration – maximum reduction of vibration
• Service indication – allowing you to plan your maintenance and keep your
application uptime at a maximum
• Improved drainage – reduction of moisture carry over and thus increased
reliability
• Re- heat technology – improves membrane performance and reliability
• Robust control system – improves safety and reliability of units
With the generators based on proven technology, they selectively remove oxygen,
moisture and other gases to leave clean, dry, phthalate free Nitrogen. Two internal
air compressors make these units independent from in- house air supplies and fitted
castors allow the user to easily position the units in the lab.
To ensure the Generator models meet our high expectations with regards to reliability
and performance, we have tested them extensively at our manufacturing plant and with
end users around the world to ensure reliability and longevity of the system.

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.

Installation
Generator Environment
The generator should be situated in a well ventilated environment, with at least a
75mm (3”) air gap all around it and should be positioned such that it can be easily
disconnected from the mains supply if required. 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)

Generator Overview
General Dimensions
The generator must always be placed on a flat, level surface. Failure to
do so will aect the performance of the generator.

Drain Connection
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. Fix the drain ending of the tube firmly to prevent it from
vibrating during draining.
CAUTION
