Electrical Connection
Connect the generator to an appropriate 110 or 230 volt single-phase supply, refer to
the generator serial plate for input specification and ensure your supply matches the
requirements.
If an appropriate mains power cords is not supplied or a substitute one is used then
ensure that all components of it the plug, cord and connector have adequate ratings
for the generator and appropriate approvals for the country of use. If a substitute main
supply cord is used, ensure that it has adequate ratings and appropriate approvals for
the country of operation. Failure to do so could cause damage to the generator or risk
of overloading of the power cord.
This unit is classified as SAFETY CLASS 1. THIS UNIT MUST BE
EARTHED. Before connecting the unit to the mains supply, please
check the information on the serial plate. The mains supply must be of
the stated AC voltage and frequency.
EARTH/GROUND (E):- Green & Yellow or Green
LIVE (L):- Brown or Black
Neutral (N):- Blue or White
Electrical requirements are 110 or 230VAC nominal +/- 10% depending on chosen
model. However, running continuously at voltages outwith this is not recommended.
Extended periods at extremes can have a detrimental eect on the operation and life of
the generator.
If the equipment is used in a manner not specified by the manufacturer,
the protection provided by the equipment maybe impaired.
To ensure that the correct voltage is being supplied to the generator, the generator
comes equipped with an inbuilt voltmeter. This is located on the underside of the
compressor compartment, and will measure and display the mains voltage that is being
supplied to the generator.
The voltmeter should be checked prior to the initial purge of the system.
If the reading is 219V or less, then we would highly recommend fitting a Dual Tap
Transformer 06-3200. This can be ordered directly from Peak Scientific.
