How to use this Manual

This manual is intended for end users and has been written so that it can either be read

as a step by step guide to installation and usage or as a reference document where you

can skip to the relevant information.

Users of a hard copy version can refer to the contents page to find the relevant

information. Users of the soft copy version can use the hyperlinks from the contents

page as well as the hyperlinks between sections.

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.

WARNING

CAUTION

WARNING

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 Precision Hydrogen 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

Institute of Electrical Engineers regulations.

If the equipment is used in a manner not specified by the manufacturer,

the protection provided by the equipment may be impaired.

Attention - Important Notice to All Users

These instructions must be read thoroughly, section by section and

understood before installation and operation of your Peak Scientific

Hydrogen Generator. Please follow the appropriate safety standards for

handling hydrogen gas and other gases as determined by the laws and

regulations of your country.

Generator is for indoor use only.

Please save the product packaging for storage or future shipment of the generator.

1. For your own personal safety and to prevent accidental damage to your generator

please ensure that you read and understand our User Manual.

2. Do not store away the generator when not in operation. External water bottles must

be made of a dark coloured glass or Nalgene in order to prevent biological growth

(available from Peak Scientific). It is recommended that you check the water quality

weekly to prevent biological growth developing in the tank and tubing. Failure to

do this will greatly reduce the life of the generator and render the 2 year generator

warranty void.

3. If you are using a manual fill system, the tank cap must be replaced after filling the

tank with water.

4. If your system requires an external tank, do not place the external water bottle above

the height of the generator. The bottle may be placed at the same level or below the

generator.

5. Use ASTM Type I or Type II water only. (<1 µS/cm conductivity / >1 MΩ-cm resistivity).

Failure to use the correct quality water will invalidate the cell and system warranty.

6. Failure to maintain the de-ionizer cartridge as recommended will reduce the

operational life of your generator and render its 2 year generator warranty void.

7. Do not attach any additional tanks or gas cylinders to your generator without first

consulting Peak Scientific.

8. Ensure your entire installation, both pipe work and analysers, are completely gas

tight. Even minor leaks will affect the operation of your generator and can reduce

its operational life.

9. Check that the output capacity of your generator meets the total gas requirements

of your application. If in doubt, consult your dealer or Peak Scientific.

10. Ensure the ambient temperature inside your laboratory does not rise above

35°C/95°F. Extremes of operating temperature will reduce cell life.

WARNING

General Safety

The generator produces gas when the application places a demand on the unit. The

maximum quantity of hydrogen stored in the generator at any one time is 175ml

at a pressure of 7.6bar (110psi). The unit also meets the European Electromagnetic

Compatibility and Low Voltage Directives. The Generator is CE approved and has the

CE mark attached.

All of the Precision Hydrogen Series generators have the necessary control circuitry,

both hardware and software, to ensure the shutdown of the instrument in the event of a

fault or faults occurring.

The rear section of the generator should only be opened by trained

personnel in line with maintenance instructions.

Generator Safety Features

The Precision Hydrogen range have the following safety features to ensure safe and

reliable operation:

• Overpressure switch.

• Safe and accurate control of pressure.

• Internal leak detection.

• Cell shut down in critical alarm status.

• Critical water level detection.

• Internal water overflow prevention.
