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.
Note: Included with the Generator is a “Fittings Kit” containing mains
power leads for UK, EU and US also all the required fittings. Be careful not
to discard these with the packaging.

External Connections
Connect the unit to a suitable electrical supply (N/A for Pneumatic system).
Attach the input filter supplied to the input port of the unit (on the left hand
side of the unit).
Attach a suitable air supply to the inlet port of the filter.
Note that the inlet and outlet air connections are ¼” BSP Female.
Attach the outlet of the purifier to your instrument and ensure that you do not

Start up Procedure
Connect fitting to the input of the filter on the generator and connect up to in
house Air supply. Restrict output to the Manufacturer specification.
Ensure that the power to the Air Dryer is turned on before starting the air
supply. Gradually introduce air pressure to the unit until the recommended
pressure has been reached.
Allow unit to vent to atmosphere for 16 Hours before connecting to any
equipment.
The system is now operational and requires no further intervention.

Normal Operation
Principal of Operation
The TOC 1500 works on the principle of Pressure Swing Adsorption (PSA).
This is where gases and moisture can be selectively adsorbed from compressed
air into a porous crystalline sieve material. The adsorption process is aided by
the electrostatic interaction between the adsorbate sieve material and the
gases to be adsorbed.
The sieve material used in the Air Dryer is a specially developed Mol sieve
compound, utilising the Skarstrom process of pressure swing adsorption where
there are two columns of sieve material utilised alternately as described below.
The inlet air to the Dryer passes through a pre-filtration process where it
undergoes particulate removal (0.01 micron) and bulk moisture removal (by a
coalescing element). The air is then passed to the sieve columns.
TOC 1500
The air is fed at pressure into one of the columns and the outlet air from this
column is split into two paths. Part of the air is directed to the outlet of the
Dryer for use by the consuming instrument and the other part is ‘blown’ back
down the other unused column (open to atmosphere) to purge out the
adsorbed impurities. After specified time period the columns swap over to
ensure that any adsorbed impurities are purged out before they can build up to
saturation point within the adsorbate material.
In this way each column repetitively adsorbs impurities and then releases them
to atmosphere assisted by the purge of dried air that is ‘blown’ through it.
