NOTICE—For the ISC EC and ISQ EM mass spectrometers only These instructions are for the ISQ EC and ISQ EM mass spectrometers only. You will also need to follow the specific preinstallation requirements for the LC or IC which will be connected. -
Page 29: Entrance Requirements
Entrance Requirements Use the following guidelines to ensure the entrance to your site will allow for the delivery of your ISQ EC or ISQ EM system: Ensure the width of your delivery door opening is at least 95 cm (37.5 in.). -
Page 30: Workbench And Space Requirements
Keyboard Table 2: Workbench and space requirements The instrument is designed to sit on a standard 30 in (76.2 cm) deep bench. Be sure the ISQ EC or ISQ EM instrument’s feet fit securely on the workbench. See Figure 1 for the position of the feet on the bottom of the instrument. - Page 31 Figure 1: Location of the feet on the bottom of the ISQ EC or ISQ EM instrument TIP—Thermo Fisher Scientific requires that all six of the instrument's feet be positioned on a bench. Overhang of the front, the back, or both ends of the instrument off the bench front or back is acceptable.

Page 35: Power Requirements
This instrument must be on its own circuit. Foreline pump plugs into the ISQ EC or ISQ EM MS. At startup, the foreline pump draws an additional 21.5 A at 120 V and an additional 20 A at 230 V. - Page 36 Keep in mind: ♦ Power must be single-phase. ♦ Wall outlets must have earth-ground hard-wired to the main panel. ♦ Included power cords are 2 m (6 ft) long. ISQ EC and ISQ EM Mass Spectrometer Preinstallation Requirements Guide Page 36...
- Page 37 Contact your local customer service office to discuss power cordset concerns. The ISQ EC or ISQ EM MS come with the required number and type of power cords for your region. Table 4 will help you identify the correct power cord for your region and instrument. If you need to replace your power cord or buy an additional cord, you may use any brand of power cord, as long as it is appropriate for your region.

Page 40: Environmental Requirements
Environmental Requirements The normal operating environment for the ISQ EC and ISQ EM MS must have the following characteristics: ♦ Indoor use only ♦ Altitude up to 2000 m ♦ Relative humidity from 20–80 % (non-condensing) up to 31 °C. The maximum relative humidity decreases linearly to 67% as the temperature climbs to 35 °C. - Page 41 Ensure your static has been discharged before touching internal components of the instrument. ESD can damage sensitive components, resulting in premature failures. ISQ EC and ISQ EM Mass Spectrometer Preinstallation Requirements Guide Page 41...

♦ Make sure that the gas supply is regulated to a stable gas pressure that is within the specified gas pressure range. (95-110 psig or 655- 760 kPa)). ISQ EC and ISQ EM Mass Spectrometer Preinstallation Requirements Guide Page 42... - Page 43 TIP—For sheath gas settings at or below 65 psig, nitrogen gas supply pressure of 90-100 psig (620-690 kPa) is sufficient. TIP—If operating the ISQ EC or ISQ EM at maximum source gas settings, it is recommended that 100-110 psig (...
- Page 44 A Dewar that can output significantly higher than 100 psig is recommended. A regulator should be used to drop the pressure down to 95-110 psig (655–760 kPa) when connecting to the ISQ EC or ISQ EM mass spectrometers.
