2. INTRODUCTION
The VICI DBS® Mistral Evolution Hybrid is a self contained generator that produces up to 12 L/min of high
purity nitrogen and 22 L/min of air. The generator is designed to meet the specic requirements of the
Sciex LC/MS. Nitrogen is produced by utilizing a combination of compressor and Carbon Molecular Sieve
(CMS) technology. High and low pressure compressors are carefully matched to the CMS demand to ensure
quite and reliable operation. This unique combination of dual compressor technology has several unique
advantages over all other nitrogen generators commercially available.

3. SAFETY
3.1 Personal Safety Instructions
When using your Mistral Evolution Hybrid, 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 Hybrid 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 Hybrid 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 check if 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 210-230V/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/U.S.A.
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.

6. SCHEMATICS
The above mentioned values are considered for an instrument transported in its original new packing.
The device contains castors to be moved easily. Use the breaks to make the device stable. The Mistral
Evolution Hybrid could be elevated from any points under the chassis base. Recommendations for the
transport
When the instrument is shipped back to the factory for recalibration or repair, the Mistral Evolution Hybrid
should be packed in its original packing with the inlets and outlets protected against any accidental
penetration of dust or particles of the package.
