Gas Ventilation

ISQ EC and ISQ EM Mass Spectrometer Operating Manual
Vibrations may affect the performance of the instrument. Therefore, the
installation site should be free of vibrations. Avoid placing the instrument in
locations where vibrations are caused by other instruments.
CAUTION—Hazardous Fumes
The exhaust gas of the instrument may contain hazardous fumes that
pose health and safety risks. Avoid an accumulation of gas. The exhaust
gas must always be removed by proper ventilation. Make sure that the
installation site is well ventilated. Do not vent directly into the
laboratory.
ATTENTION—Fumées dangereuses
Les gaz d'échappement de l'instrument peuvent contenir des fumées
dangereuses qui représentent un risque pour la santé et la sécurité.
Évitez toute accumulation de gaz. Les gaz d'échappement doivent
toujours être évacués par une ventilation appropriée. Assurez-vous que le
site d'installation est bien ventilé. N'évacuez pas directement dans le
laboratoire.
Make sure that the location fulfills the following requirements:

Operate the instrument near the gas supply and ventilation sources.

Ventilation must be at atmospheric pressure with no vacuum or
negative pressure applied.

Install the instrument in a well-ventilated laboratory. Both the source
exhaust and the foreline pump must be connected to a suitable exhaust.
Direct the gas exhaust tubing to a fume hood or connect it to another
ventilation device.
