equipment will not be damaged or become hazardous to persons or property.
Symbols
This document 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.
Une note AVERTISSEMENT indique un danger. Elle attire l’attention sur une
procédure de fonctionnement, un processus ou autre qui, s’il/elle n’est pas
eectué(e) correctement ou respecté(e), peut entraîner des blessures personnelles
ou, dans le pire des cas, la mort. Ne continuez pas lorsqu’il y a une note
AVERTISSEMENT si les conditions indiquées ne sont pas totalement comprises ou
respectées.
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.
Une note ATTENTION indique un danger. Elle attire l’attention sur une procédure
de fonctionnement, un processus ou autre, qui, s’il/elle n’est pas eectué(e)
correctement ou respecté(e), peut endommager le générateur ou l’application. Ne
continuez pas lorsqu’il y a une note ATTENTION si les conditions indiquées ne sont
pas totalement comprises ou respectées.
Caution, risk of electric shock. Ensure power to the Generator has been removed
before proceeding.
Attention, risque de choc électrique. Assurez-vous que l’alimentation du générateur
a été coupée avant de continuer.

minutes
In order for the system to maintain internal pressure required for normal operation, the
output valve will close and open until the delivery line is pressurised. Once pressure
between the generator and application is stable, gas will be supplied by the generator
as normal. To prevent excess release of hydrogen in the event of a leak between the
generator and application, the generator’s output will remain closed if pressure has not
stabilised within 20 minutes.

CONGRATULATIONS
Your PEAK SCIENTIFIC gas generator is now fully installed, operational
and ready to supply gas on demand to your instrument.

Page 15
For Precision SL generators with automatic pumped water fill, ensure the water supply
bottle is not located above the height of the generator, and that the supply is not
pressurised. Generators with automatic valved water fill may be used with pressurised
deionised water supplies between 1-3 bar.
Electrical requirements are 100-240V rms nominal. However, running continuously
at voltages outwith this range is not recommended. Extended periods at extremes
can have a detrimental eect on the operation and life of the Generator.
Ensure that all pipework between generator and equipment is checked for leaks.
Please familiarise yourself with the full User Manual available at www.peakscientific.
com/downloads This includes all other technical specifications, operating
instructions, service requirements, contact details and trouble shooting.
The fixed delivery pressure of 100psi (6.9 bar) from the Precision H2 SL is suitable
for all GC-FIDs from major manufacturers. The gas pressure will be managed by
the GC. If for any reason you need to regulate the pressure to below 100psi, please
contact Peak for details of an appropriate pressure regulator.
