Page 25: Chapter 3 Operating Environment
Operating Environment Attention to the operating environment will ensure continued high performance of your TSQ Quantum XLS or TSQ Quantum GC system. Any expenditures for air conditioning are more than offset by good sample throughput and reduced repair costs. Table 3 lists the operating environment requirements and indicates where you will find additional details. -
Page 26: Temperature
5 °C or more over a five-minute period of time can affect performance. The air conditioning load for a basic TSQ Quantum XLS or TSQ Quantum GC system (with a Trace GC Ultra gas chromatograph) is approximately 5470 W (19 000 Btu/h). -
Page 27: Humidity
Maintain the relative humidity of the operating environment between 40 and 80 percent, with no condensation. Operating a TSQ Quantum XLS or TSQ Quantum GC system in an environment with very low humidity can cause the accumulation and discharge of static electricity that can shorten the life of the electronic components. -
Page 28: Electrostatic Discharge
Electrostatic discharge (ESD) can damage the electronic components of your TSQ Quantum XLS or TSQ Quantum GC system. TSQ Quantum XLS and TSQ Quantum GC instruments are designed to withstand ESD up to 15 kV (air discharge) and 8 kV (contact discharge) with all panels in place. However, removing the panels and handling the PCBs without proper precautions might damage the electrical components or cause them to fail prematurely. -
Page 29: Line Power

Page 31: Quality Of Power
Thermo Fisher Scientific. Quality of Power The quality of power supplied to your TSQ Quantum XLS or TSQ Quantum GC system is very important. The line voltage must be stable and within the specifications listed in this guide. The line voltage must be free of fluctuations due to slow changes in the average voltage, surges, sags, or transients. -

Page 33: Available Outlets
Available Outlets Available Outlets The TSQ Quantum XLS and TSQ Quantum GC mass spectrometers are designed to operate at a nominal voltage of 230 V ac, 50/60 Hz. Line voltages can vary between a minimum of 207 V ac and a maximum of 253 V ac. - Page 34 6 shows the optimum location of the power outlets. The power cable from the TSQ Quantum XLS system is 3 m (9 ft) long. The cables from the personal computer, monitor, and printer are approximately 2 m (6 ft) long.

Plan the power system properly, with numerous outlets, to ensure that you can connect and power all of your equipment. -
Page 36: Technical Assistance
Technical Assistance Occasionally, you might encounter line power sources of unacceptable quality that adversely affect the operation of TSQ Quantum XLS and TSQ Quantum GC systems. You are responsible for correcting line power problems. Contact your Thermo Fisher Scientific office for assistance in monitoring the line voltage in your laboratory and in selecting a line conditioner. -
Page 37: Waste And Exhaust
Waste and Exhaust The arrangement of the exhaust system for the TSQ Quantum XLS or TSQ Quantum GC instrument can affect instrument performance. Also, take care to collect and dispose of solvent waste properly. You are responsible for making the proper exhaust arrangement that is required to operate your system. -
