Environmental Requirements; Biosafety Requirements - AB Sciex 4000 Series Site Planning Manual

Site Requirements
• Provide network credentials for the acquisition computer, that comply with the guidelines provided for the
computer name and password, as specified previously.
Note: Do not change the network computer name after the software has been installed.
• Make sure that an IT specialist is available to connect the computers to your LAN while the FSE is present.

Environmental Requirements

Return to checklist.
DANGER! Explosion Hazard: Do not operate the system in an environment containing
explosive gases. The system is not designed for operation in an explosive
environment.
• An ambient temperature of 15°C to 30°C (59°F to 86°F)
Over time, the temperature must remain within a range of 4°C (7.2°F), with the rate of the change in
temperature not exceeding 2°C (3.6°F) per hour. Ambient temperature fluctuations exceeding the limits might
result in mass shifts in spectra.
• Relative humidity from 35% to 50%, non-condensing
• The cooling and venting requirement for the mass spectrometer and roughing pump: 8700 Btu/hr
CAUTION: Potential System Damage: Do not place the roughing pump in an enclosed
unventilated area. Otherwise, the roughing pump will fail prematurely or shut down from
overheating and might cause severe damage to the mass spectrometer.
Note: Operation of the mass spectrometer at altitudes higher than 2000 m (6400 feet) above sea level might
impact mass spectrometer operation.
Note: Peripheral devices might have different operating environment requirements. Confirm the operating
environment requirements with the manufacturer of each peripheral device that will be used with the mass
spectrometer.

BioSafety Requirements

Return to checklist.
The site must not be designated BioSafety Level 3 (BSL-3) or BioSafety Level 4 (BSL-4). AB SCIEX does not install,
service, or repair AB SCIEX mass spectrometers in areas designated BSL-3 or BSL-4.
