This document serves as a guide for preparing an installation site for the Varian (now Agilent) 500-MS Series LC/MS. It outlines specific requirements for the installation environment, including entrance clearance, bench space and load capacity, vibration isolation, exhaust systems, temperature control, humidity levels, and particulate matter restrictions.
| Operating Temperature Range | 16 to 30 °C (61-86 °F) |
|---|---|
| Relative Humidity Range | 20 to 80% |
| Entrance Width Requirement | 92 cm (36 in.) wide |
| Minimum Bench Depth | 84 cm (33 in.) deep |
| MS Power Input | 220-240V ac, 50/60 Hz, 1.0 kW 3200 VA |
| Foreline Pump Power | 10A, 200-240V ac |
The entrance to the installation site must be at least 92 cm (36 in.) wide.
The system requires a separate circuit providing 220-240V ac, 50/60 Hz, with a capacity of 1.0 kW (3200 VA).
The foreline pump(s) must be placed on the floor below the LC/MS to prevent vibration issues.
