Positioning The Trace 1600/1610 - Thermo Scientific TRACE 1600 Hardware Manual

Positioning the TRACE 1600/1610

Thermo Scientific
a. Perform column conditioning, leak check, and carrier gas flow calibration (column
evaluation) following the instruction reported in
Time" on page 53.
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 1600/1610 for easier connection.
 To position the instrument
WARNING The main unit of the GC, without injector/detector modules, weighs
approximately 35 kg (77 lb) when unpacked. Pay attention when lifting the instrument
onto the work table.
1. Set the TRACE 1600/1610 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.
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.
ATTENTION Afin d'éviter tout contact avec l'air chaud produit par les évents, rassemblez
les câbles électriques dans le porte-câbles.
