    Warning: The installation of all services must comply with the appropriate rules and regulations required by the local authorities responsible for those services in the workplace. An installation engineer is not responsible for the fitting or compliance of the facilities or services. The choice of an operating site for the instrument will be influenced by local considerations for example, ease of access and availability of electrical power.

    as this could block ventilation. A length of bench approximately 3 meters is required for the spectrometer, PC and autosampler. A chiller is usually located under the same bench. The mounting arrangements should be capable of supporting the weight of the spectrometer and its accessories. Make sure that the working surface is sufficiently rigid to prevent vibration as this may affect the optical alignment of the spectrometer and accessories.

    An appropriate container is required that is solvent proof, shatterproof and vented away from the instrument. Compatible container materials ensure that wastes will not react with, corrode them. Ensure the waste container does not constitute a spill or trip hazard. It may be necessary to neutralise waste to prevent any toxin build up.
  • Page 22 PLEASE NOTE: EXTRACTION REQUIREMENTS ARE NOT THE SAME AS FOR PREVIOUS THERMO FISHER ICP SPECTROMETERS. An iCAP 7000 Duo instrument will require an extraction of 10 m/s (33 ft/s; 22.4 mph). An iCAP 7000 Radial instrument will require an extraction of 5 m/s (16 ft/s; 11.2 mph). The extraction flow must be adjustable to enable the installation engineer to correctly set the flow and achieve the required extraction.

  • Page 23: Sample Fume Extraction

    3.3.7 Sample Fume Additional, separate, extraction should be considered if significant Extraction numbers of volatile, or acidic, samples are left in the proximity of the instrumentation. If an autosampler is used with volatile or acidic samples a separately vented enclosure should be used. This should include appropriate filtering of hazardous toxic fumes.
