1 Installing the Fluorescence Detector
Never operate your instrumentation from a power outlet that has no ground connection. Never use a
power cord other than the Agilent Technologies power cord designed for your region.
WARNING
Never use cables other than the ones supplied by Agilent Technologies to ensure proper
functionality and compliance with safety or EMC regulations.
WARNING
Bench Space
The detector dimensions and weight (see
detector on almost any desk or laboratory bench. It needs an additional 2.5 cm (1.0
inches) of space on either side and approximately 8 cm (3.1 inches) in the rear for air
circulation and electric connections.
If the bench should carry a Agilent 1100 Series system, make sure that the bench is
designed to bear the weight of all modules.
The detector should be operated in a horizontal position.
Environment
Your detector will work within the specifications at ambient temperatures and relative
humidity described in
ASTM drift tests require a temperature change below 2
hour period. Our published drift specification (refer also to
Specifications"
changes will result in larger drift.
Better drift performance depends on better control of the temperature fluctuations. To
realize the highest performance, minimize the frequency and the amplitude of the
temperature changes to below 1
or less can be ignored.
CAUTION
Do not store, ship or use your detector under conditions where temperature
fluctuations could cause condensation within the detector. Condensation will damage the system
