2-2 Installing the Oven
Make sure that your laboratory environment consists of the following
temperature and humidity levels:
•
•
Use care when working with hazardous solvents, or solvents that produce
hazardous by-products.
Sufficient Electrical Power
The Series 200 Peltier Column Oven requires a grounded nominal 115 or
230 Vac source.
To prevent degradation of the column oven's performance, the AC line
voltage must remain within ±10% of the nominal specified voltage (displayed
on the label beneath the line cord). If you experience large voltage
fluctuations, install a voltage regulator between the LC system and the wall
(power) outlet.
Space Requirements
The Series 200 Peltier Column Oven is designed to sit on a bench top (or
on another module as shown in Figure 2-4). It is plumbed into the LC system
between the autosampler and the detector. A space 17 cm (6.7 in.) high is
sufficient, as columns are installed from the front of the oven. The oven is
16 cm (6.3 in.) high. See Table 1-2 for all the oven specifications.
The case is 34.0 cm (13.4 in.) wide, but additional space is required on
each side for the tubing to the column oven. The case is 48.0 cm (18.9 in.)
deep, but additional space is required behind the unit to accommodate the
power cord which is at the rear of the column oven (see Figure 2-2).
Solvents/Mobile Phase
Use only HPLC grade solvents in all analyses. HPLC grade water and
methanol (1 liter each) are required for performance verification.
Ambient temperature between 10
Constant relative humidity between 20% and 80% (without
condensation)
Solvent vapor levels that are high enough to interfere
with the oven performance should be considered
hazardous to someone who is continuously exposed to
the vapors.
