Positioning the TRACE 1300/TRACE 1310

Installing the External Accessories

Thermo Scientific
Your laboratory must already be prepared according to the space requirements, and the gas
and power supplies must be accessible. Optional equipment should be placed near the
TRACE 1300/TRACE 1310 for easier connection.

To position the instrument
WARNING The main unit of the GC, without injector/detector modules, weighs
approximately 35 kg (77 lbs) when unpacked. Pay attention when lifting the instrument
onto the work table.
1. Set the TRACE 1300/TRACE 1310 on the work table. At least TWO people should
perform this operation, each standing on one side of the instrument and putting their
hands near its supporting feet.
WARNING The oven vents at the back of the GC discharge hot air up to 450 °C (842 °F)
during cooling. Oven exhaust can cause severe burns. Avoid working behind the
instrument oven vents during cool-down cycles. There should be at least 30 cm (12 in.)
free space behind the instrument to allow the exhaust to dissipate. Do not expose gas tanks
or bottles, chemicals, regulators, electrical cables, or other temperature-sensitive items to
oven exhaust.
Note An optional oven exhaust kit can be installed to carry the hot air from the oven
vents out of the working area. See
2. Look for the yellow label located on the back of the GC under the AC Input Connector.
It indicates the power supply (120 Vac or 230 Vac) required by the GC, and must be in
compliance with your power source.
CAUTION To avoid contact with the hot air from the vents, gather the electrical cables
into the cables holder.
For additional information, refer to the TRACE 1300 and TRACE 1310 User Guide, and to
the User Guides that come with the accessories you have connected to your GC.
