2. INTRODUCTION
The VICI DBS® Mistral Evolution (PSA technology) includes two dynamically balanced, long-life compressors
and delivers a continuous or on demand stream of pure nitrogen gas of 99.5% with a ow rate to 40 L/min.
It uses pressure swing adsorption (PSA) system which removes oxygen, carbon dioxide and water from
compressed air. The resulting stream of pure nitrogen is ideal for LCMS instruments and other laboratory
applications where inert gases are required.
2.1 Symbol Denitions
SYMBOL DESCRIPTION
General warning. Caution is necessary when operating the device or control
close to where the symbol is placed, or to indicate that the current situation
needs operator awareness or operator action in order to avoid undesirable
consequences.
The manual must be consulted in all cases where this symbol is marked on
the device.
Risk of asphyxia. Caution is necessary when operating the device in a not
sufciently ventilated area.
Oxidant material. Caution is necessary due to the presence of oxidant material.

3. SAFETY
3.1 Personal Safety Instructions
When using your Mistral Evolution generator, basic safety precautions should always be followed, including
the following:
• The quantity of dust in the ambient Air can be very different from one place to another.
We recommend to replace the dust lters every 4000h. In some dusty areas, this
maintenance need to be performed more frequently.
• Clogged dust lter may damage the device or give a bad Nitrogen quality.
• The power supply main cable connector is the disconnect device in case of
emergency, it must be easily accessible at any time.
• If the Mistral Evolution is used in a way not specied by VICI DBS, the protection
provided by the equipment could be compromised.
3.2 Instrument Safety Instructions
• The Mistral Evolution is a Nitrogen Generator. Do not let it run with the outlet open to
the air in a low volume room.
• The increase of the Nitrogen (and decrease of oxygen) may cause human disease.
It is the responsibility of the user to check if the room is appropriate or if an O2
measurement is necessary.
• The Mistral Evolution rejects Oxygen as waste.
• Oxygen ratio in the air could change around the device in a low volume or not
sufcient ventilated room.
• If fuel gases are present around, their explosive or ammable limits could be
affected. It is the responsibility of the user to make sure the room is appropriate,
or if an O2 measurement is necessary.

5.4 Power Supply Settings
The current power supply setting of the device is indicated on the ID Sticker on the back of the device. The
Mistral Evolution standard setting is 220-240V/50-60Hz.
If other voltages are requested, this should be done when ordering. In this case a transformer will be
installed to transform internally the requested voltage to 110-115 V/50-60Hz. The list of voltage and
frequencies settings possible are bellow. In any case the voltage of the power supplied must stay at
+/- 10% of the nominal value.
VOLTAGE SETTING FREQUENCY FUSE F3 (5X20 OR 6.3 x 32 mm) COUNTRY
110-115 VAC AC50-60 Hz 20 A Japan/USA
220-240 VAC AC50-60 Hz 10 A Korea/Europe
Please see service manual for the connection of the transformer. General earth connection is done via power
supply main cable.
