Power requirements vary by manufacturer.
2. Ensure that the relative humidity in your laboratory is between 40 and 80%, with no
condensation. A temperature and humidity monitor in your laboratory helps ensure that
the climate is within these specifications.
3. Ensure that the air in your site is free of excess particulate matter.
For reference, the air should contain fewer than 100,000 particles (larger than 5 μm) per
cubic meter. If the concentration is larger than this amount, dust can accumulate on
electronic components. This accumulation reduces their ability to cool off properly and
could cause them to overheat. If your environment is particularly dusty, we recommend
that you purchase the optional dust filter for your system.
4. Ensure that your site is free of electrostatic discharge (ESD), which may damage the
electronic components of your system. Ensure your static has been discharged before
touching internal components of the instrument. ESD can damage sensitive components,
resulting in premature failures.
Take the following precaution to prevent electrostatic discharge:
• Use a static-dissipating floor covering (such as tile or conductive linoleum) in the
room housing your instrument.
• Use laboratory chairs covered with natural fibers or other static-dissipating material.
• Wear laboratory coats and clothing made from natural fibers or other
static-dissipating material.
• Do not place polystyrene (foam) cups or packing materials on the instrument.
Use the following guidelines to make sure you have the gas supplies for your system ready far
in advance of installation. You will need a supply of ultra-high purity GC gases.
