Service Indication
The Genius 3030 & 3031 will notify the user of the service interval for the internal
compressors. The Generators have the following Service Indication Stages:-
Stage 1
Once either compressor requires a service the LED indicator (yellow) on the front of the
Generator will illuminate.
This is to make the user aware that a service of the Generator is due and should be planned at
the earliest convenience. The Generator will continue to operate as normal with the LED on.
Stage 2
If the service is not completed the Generator will continue to run. After 2 weeks, the service
LED indicator (yellow) will start to flash.
This is to make the user aware that the service of the Generator is now overdue and must be
completed immediately to ensure the continuous trouble free operation of the Generator.
Service Indication Reset
Once the service has been completed the Service Indication LED can be reset in the
main control PLC. This will be performed by the Peak Service Engineer or trained service
representative that completes the service operation.
High Duty Indication
The Genius 3030 & 3031 have a ‘HIGH DUTY’ indicator on the front panel. This indicator
monitors the running condition of the internal compressors and illuminates when they have
been operating continually for a period of 8 hours.
There are a number of extreme conditions that can affect the duty cycling of the
compressors inside the generator. These extremes include very high ambient temperatures,
low supply voltages, a very high flow requirement and locations of high altitude. Any one
of these or a combination of a number of these extremes can be evident in a customer site.
While the generator is designed to operate fully in these conditions it should be noted that
the effect of these extremes can force the compressors to run continually. The compressors
are fully capable of running continually with no detrimental effect, however users may find
the generator reaches its service interval quicker.
High Duty Indication Reset
If the compressors have been operating continually for a period of 8 hours the indicator
light will be illuminated. Once the compressors return to a cycling mode the indicator
light will automatically switch off. There is no manual intervention required.
Indication of Fault
In most installations the ‘HIGH DUTY’ indicator will never be illuminated. If your Genius
3030/3031 Generator has been operating for a significant period of time, then suddenly
develops a ‘HIGH DUTY’ indication with no apparent change in environmental conditions
or flow requirements, it may be indicative of a problem with the system such as an external
leak or imminent compressor failure.
If this is the case you should contact Peak Scientific or your service provider.
It should be noted that the Generator will continue to operate so long as it can maintain
pressure during this indication.
