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.
Nitrogen is not a poisonous gas, but if the concentration in
the inhaled air becomes too high there will be a risk of
asphyxiation.

Introduction
The Peak Scientific Infinity 9000 Nitrogen Generator is designed specifically for
use with LCMSMS applications, but has also been used successfully for
Turbovap or ELSD applications. The generator has been designed to produce
Nitrogen from an existing source of dry, oil free, compressed air in the
laboratory.
Unpacking and Installation
Although Peak Scientific take every precaution with safe transit and packaging,
it is advisable to fully inspect the unit for any sign of transit damage.
Check ‘SHOCKWATCH’ label for signs of rough handling prior to un-packing –
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 onto the floor.
Please save the product packaging for storage or future shipment of the
Generator.
After unpacking and a visual inspection, the unit should be
placed in a ventilated area away from direct sunlight. Care
should be taken not to obstruct the ventilation holes on the
side of the unit. The Generator should be placed on a steady
and level base. The Infinity 9000 has been designed to fit
under most workbenches. Alternatively, the unit may be wall
mounted using the fixing slots provided.
Performance of the Generator (like all sophisticated
equipment) is affected by ambient temperatures. Prolonged
operation in temperatures exceeding 30°C will shorten the
life of the unit.

General Dimensions
In addition to being floor or bench free standing, the generator may be fixed to
a wall in the upright position shown below.
The diagram shows the clearances and mounting hole centres required.

Air Connection
Infinity 9000 Generator should be connected to a clean, dry, OIL - FREE source
of compressed air. A minimum inlet pressure of 100 psig (6.7 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 generator has a Breathing Air Filter with ¼” BSPT connection to the left
side of the unit. The Compressed Air supply should be connected here. This
filter will drain moisture and is equipped with an automatic drain. The drain
should be led to a convenient place. Nitrogen outlet is via an Activated Carbon
reverse-acting filter mounted on the right side, again with a ¼” BSPT
connection for outlet.
Fittings Kit
Supplied in the Fittings Kit are all the fittings required to connect the Infinity
9000 Generator to the application. The contents of the Fittings Kit are as
follows:
1. 6mm Push Fit Tube Fitting × 2
2. 6mm Tubing × 3m
3. N8 Supa Counter Sunk Screw x 2
4. Raw plug for No.8 Screw x 2
5. User Manual – Infinity 9000 × 1
All of the Generator output ports are located on the output panel at the rear of
the Generator.

Commissioning
With the Generator installed as previously described, open the air supply to the
unit. The Generator has been pre-set in the factory to give the specified output
flow-rate and pressure. On reaching operational pressure the Generator will
produce Nitrogen.
The design of the generator is such that it will deliver up to the rated output
flow of Nitrogen at 100 psig (6.7 barg). Flow at any time is determined by
demand of the consuming equipment. In circumstances of no demand, the
generator remains operational and will provide nitrogen immediately as
demand resumes.
Pressure & Flow Settings
The above settings should allow the generator to be operated with all standard
configurations of instruments. Should the above settings not provide sufficient
flow or pressure for your application please contact Peak Scientific for
assistance.

Maintenance Schedule
Servicing and/or repair of the Generator should only be
undertaken by a TECHNICALLY COMPETENT PERSON with
the Generator in a safely isolated condition.
Due to the simplicity of the design and the small number of moving parts, the
Infinity 9000 Nitrogen Generators will have a long and trouble free life.
However as with all scientific and technical equipment it should be regularly
inspected and serviced as below.
Service Schedule
As an alternative to purchasing the 12 month service items individually an
Annual Service Kit is available as one part number. This contains all the filters
required for this Generator.
Safely Isolated Condition
The unit is in a safely isolated condition when it is disconnected from its
application and fully de-pressurised. Directions for isolating the Generator are
shown below.
Failure to place the Generator in a safely isolated condition
when instructed to do so may lead to personal injury or injury
to others and even death.
a) Disconnect from air supply.
b) Ensure the output pressure gauge read zero. (If gauge does not fall to
zero, loosen the outlet fitting slightly to allow trapped gas to escape).
Disconnect from the application.
