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.
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 Directions
for Use Manual.
2.
Do not store away the generator when not in operation. The generator
should be powered up at least twice a month and a small flow taken for
1 hour. It is recommended that you replace the water monthly 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
warranty void.
3.
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.
4.
Use only high grade de-ionised water (1
µ
S/cm or better). Do not
attempt to connect pressurised water to the generator.
5.
It is recommended that you operate the generator at the lowest
pressure permissible for your particular application. Do not
automatically set the pressure to maximum if not required.
6.
Failure to maintain the Deioniser Column as recommended will reduce
the operational life of your generator and render its 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 generally reduce its operational life.
9.
Has your generator been correctly sized for your application? If in
doubt, consult your dealer or Peak Scientific.
10.
Ensure the ambient temperature inside your laboratory does not rise
above 25°C/77°F. Extremes of operating temperature will reduce cell
life.
