Page 7: Important Safety Warnings
Important Safety Warnings Before moving on, there are several important safety notices that you should always keep in mind when using the 5975 Series Mass Selective Detector. Many internal parts of the MSD carry dangerous voltages If the MSD is connected to a power source, even if the power switch is off, potentially dangerous voltages exist on: •... -
Page 8: Electrostatic Discharge Is A Threat To Msd Electronics
General Information The use of incorrect or makeshift fuses or the short-circuiting of fuse holders creates a shock hazard for the operator and can damage the instrument. Replace fuses only with fuses of identical current rating and type. Excessive fluctuations in the line voltage can create a shock hazard and can damage the instrument. -
Page 9: Hydrogen Safety
When mixed with air, hydrogen can form explosive mixtures. A detailed discussion of hydrogen safety appears in Chapter 1 of the Agilent 5975 MSD Troubleshooting and Maintenance Manual. Read this material before using hydrogen with the MSD. When using hydrogen (H WA RN ING gas can flow into the oven and create an explosion hazard. -
Page 10: Chemical Safety
General Information Chemical Safety The foreline pump exhaust and split vent exhaust will contain traces of the WA RN ING chemicals you are analyzing. These could potentially be toxic. Vent the foreline pump exhaust and split vent exhaust outside your laboratory or into a fume hood. Be sure to comply with all local environmental regulations. -

Page 22: Communications Requirements
Agilent Technologies is not responsible for connecting to or establishing communication NO TE with your site LAN network. The representative will test the 5975 Series MSD’s ability to communicate on a mini-hub or -switch only. The IP addresses assigned to the instrument(s) must be fixed (permanently assigned) NO TE addresses. -
Page 23: Electrical Requirements
Electrical Requirements You are responsible for providing appropriate electrical power and power outlets for all of the components in your 5975 Series MSD system. Power considerations include: • Voltage ranges of major components • Power configurations • Power requirements • Power plugs and cords... -
Page 24: Power Configurations
Site Preparation Power configurations Electrical power for the MSD must be single-phase. The neutral wire cannot be used for safety grounding. The ground wire should carry zero current except for ground-fault current or static electric discharge. The entire system should share an isolated, noise-free electrical ground. -
Page 25: Power Requirements
Power requirements Table 4 lists the power requirements for the 5975 Series MSD and related equipment. Extra power capacity for future additions is recommended. Each product listed requires a dedicated circuit. The gauge controller is powered by the MSD. The MSD, GC, and data system must each have a separate circuit breaker. -
Page 26: Power Plugs And Cord
The MSD is supplied with a power cord and plug appropriate for the country from which the order originates. For example, if an order originates from a Agilent Technologies sales office in Germany, the power cord and plug supplied will be compatible with the standard voltage and outlet configuration in Germany. -
Page 27: Other Electrical Considerations
Do not use extension cords with the MSD or GC. Extension cords normally are not WA RN ING rated to carry enough power and can be a safety hazard. Maintain easy access to the power cords so they can be disconnected for maintenance. NO TE Other electrical considerations Additional electrical considerations include:... -
Page 28: Air Conditioning And Environmental Requirements
Each of these is considered in more detail in the following material. Temperature, humidity, and altitude The 5975 Series MSD is specified for operation under the following conditions: • Operation requires constant temperature (variations <2 °C/h) • Operation and storage require a noncondensing, noncorrosive atmosphere •... -
