Introduction

Precision is a modular system with differing flow rates that allows you to add

multiple generators as your gas and analysis demands change. The Precision

Series will keep your gas flowing with consummate accuracy and reliability,

whatever your needs, while fitting neatly into any lab space.

The Precision Zero Air Generator provides hydrocarbon free air, suitable as a

Flame Support Gas at Trace and Standard detection limits.

Features include:

•Suitable for Flame Support Gas at Trace and Standard detection limits

•Generates Zero Air on demand from Compressed Air

•Catalyst chamber to remove Hydrocarbons (as methane) to <0.05ppm

•Minimum maintenance with only a filter change per annum.

•Small and Stackable

With the Precision Zero Air based on proven technology, it removes moisture

and other gases to leave clean, dry, phthalate free Air.

To ensure this Generator model meets our high expectations with regards to

reliability and performance, we have tested this new model extensively at our

manufacturing plant and with end users around the world to ensure reliability

and longevity of the system.

Unpacking

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

one person to remove the unit from the shipping crate and lift the Generator

onto the bench.

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.

Performance of the Generator (like all sophisticated

equipment) is affected by ambient temperatures. Prolonged

operation in temperatures exceeding 35°C will shorten the life

of the unit.

Unpacking Instructions

The Precision Zero Air generator weights approximately 16Kg, and as such

should only be lifted using safe lifting practice.

1. Remove the screws encircled in red around the bottom of the crate lid

and lift upwards.

2. Next, position your hands underneath the unit on either side, ready to

lift.

3. Ensuring your knees are bent and your back is straight, lift the unit to

the desired location.

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.

Performance of the Generator (like all sophisticated

equipment) is affected 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 affect 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 below for the general dimensions of the

unit.
