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 1050, 1051, 1052 & 1053 have been developed to cater for the gas
requirements of specific LCMS, and other applications, models.
Depending on model, these generators provide a source of nitrogen gas or nitrogen
and dry air 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 gas or nitrogen
and dry air (depending on model). 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.

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

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.
Ensure castors are locked once Generator is in desired position.
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 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.
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
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 on the following page for the general dimensions of the unit.
Minimum Operating Ambient Temperature: 5 °C (41 °F)
Maximum Operating Ambient Temperature: 35 °C (95 °F)

Page 18
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.
