This document provides a pre-installation checklist for the Varian 1200/1200L mass spectrometer. It outlines general requirements for the installation area, environmental requirements, power requirements, and gas and solvent requirements. Additionally, the document provides specific requirements for certain gases and solvents to ensure proper functioning of the system.
This document serves as a pre-installation guide for the Varian 1200 Quadrupole Mass Spectrometer systems, including models 1200 GC/MS, 1200L GC/MS, 1200L LC/MS, and 1200L GC/LC/MS. It outlines general requirements such as safety regulations, operator availability, and entrance dimensions before installation can proceed.
The guide details specific environmental conditions required for reliable operation, including temperature ranges between 18 and 21 °C (optimal) up to a maximum of 30 °C, relative humidity between 40% and 80%, and the need for vibration-free benches. It also specifies power requirements, noting that systems shipped outside North America use CEE 7/7 plugs rated at 16A and 230 Vac.
The optimal operating temperature is between 18 and 21 °C (65 and 70 °F).
A laboratory temperature above 30 °C may cause the pump to shut down.
All passages to the site of installation must be at least 36 in. (110 cm) wide.
