5975 Series Site Prep.book Page 7 Thursday, January 31, 2008 9:47 AM General Information Important Safety Warnings Before moving on, there are several important safety notices that you should always keep in mind when using the 5975 Series Mass Selective Detector.
5975 Series Site Prep.book Page 8 Thursday, January 31, 2008 9:47 AM General Information The use of incorrect or makeshift fuses or the short-circuiting of fuse holders creates a shock hazard for the operator and can damage the instrument. Replace fuses only with fuses of identical current rating and type. Excessive fluctuations in the line voltage can create a shock hazard and can damage the instrument. Make sure the supply voltage does not fluctuate more than +5% or -10% from the rated voltage.
5975 Series Site Prep.book Page 9 Thursday, January 31, 2008 9:47 AM General Information Hydrogen Safety Hydrogen gas may be used as carrier gas, and/or as fuel for certain GC detectors. When mixed with air, hydrogen can form explosive mixtures. A detailed discussion of hydrogen safety appears in Chapter 1 of the Agilent 5975 MSD Troubleshooting and Maintenance Manual. Read this material before using hydrogen with the MSD.
5975 Series Site Prep.book Page 10 Thursday, January 31, 2008 9:47 AM General Information Chemical Safety WA RN ING 10 The foreline pump exhaust and split vent exhaust will contain traces of the chemicals you are analyzing.

5975 Series Site Prep.book Page 22 Thursday, January 31, 2008 9:47 AM Site Preparation Communications Requirements Telephone A telephone with a cord long enough to be used at the computer will allow the MSD operator to communicate with Agilent Technologies support personnel. Site LAN network If you intend to connect your MSD system to your site’s LAN network, you must have an additional shielded twisted pair network cable.
5975 Series Site Prep.book Page 23 Thursday, January 31, 2008 9:47 AM Site Preparation Electrical Requirements You are responsible for providing appropriate electrical power and power outlets for all of the components in your 5975 Series MSD system.
5975 Series Site Prep.book Page 24 Thursday, January 31, 2008 9:47 AM Site Preparation Power configurations Electrical power for the MSD must be single-phase. The neutral wire cannot be used for safety grounding. The ground wire should carry zero current except for ground-fault current or static electric discharge. The entire system should share an isolated, noise-free electrical ground.
5975 Series Site Prep.book Page 25 Thursday, January 31, 2008 9:47 AM Site Preparation Power requirements Table 4 lists the power requirements for the 5975 Series MSD and related equipment. Extra power capacity for future additions is recommended. Each product listed requires a dedicated circuit. The gauge controller is powered by the MSD. The MSD, GC, and data system must each have a separate circuit breaker. All of the equipment must share a common ground.

5975 Series Site Prep.book Page 27 Thursday, January 31, 2008 9:47 AM Site Preparation WA RN ING Do not use extension cords with the MSD or GC. Extension cords normally are not rated to carry enough power and can be a safety hazard. NO TE Maintain easy access to the power cords so they can be disconnected for maintenance.
5975 Series Site Prep.book Page 28 Thursday, January 31, 2008 9:47 AM Site Preparation Air Conditioning and Environmental Requirements Air conditioning considerations include temperature, humidity, airborne dust, and exhaust venting. Each of these is considered in more detail in the following material.
5975 Series Site Prep.book Page 29 Thursday, January 31, 2008 9:47 AM Site Preparation Airborne dust Agilent Technologies recommends a maximum airborne particle density of 55 μg/m3. If you suspect your site exceeds this limit, contact your local Agilent Technologies Customer Service Organization. Customer Engineers with special training and equipment can test for airborne particle density. They can offer suggestions for reducing airborne dust.
5975 Series Site Prep.book Page 30 Thursday, January 31, 2008 9:47 AM Site Preparation See your GC manuals for information on venting the split vent. Fume (exhaust) hood An auxiliary work space and fume hood are needed for some maintenance procedures.
5975 Series Site Prep.book Page 31 Thursday, January 31, 2008 9:47 AM Site Preparation Carrier and Reagent Gas Requirements Table 6 lists the specifications for the carrier and reagent gases. Pressures and flows are as measured at the bulkhead fittings on the back of the instrument, not at the gas supply. We recommend that additional shut-off valves be installed near the instruments.
5975 Series Site Prep.book Page 32 Thursday, January 31, 2008 9:47 AM Site Preparation Regulators, tubing, and fittings You must supply appropriate regulators for your carrier and reagent gas. • Regulators must be dual-stage. • Regulators must have stainless-steel (not elastomeric) diaphragms. • They must supply gas at the pressure specified. • They must have one outlet with 1/4-inch Swagelok fittings.
5975 Series Site Prep.book Page 33 Thursday, January 31, 2008 9:47 AM Site Preparation Laboratory Supply Requirements Laboratory supply requirements vary with applications. Cleaning solvents Cleaning tasks for the MSD require the following HPLC-grade (or better) solvents: • Methylene chloride • Isopropyl alcohol • Methanol • Acetone • Water Proper storage, handling, and disposal of these chemicals is required for personal and environmental safety.
5975 Series Site Prep.book Page 34 Thursday, January 31, 2008 9:47 AM Site Preparation Spare parts and consumables The supplies and parts listed in Table 7 are used in the operation and maintenance of a 5975 Series MSD system.

5975 Series Site Prep.book Page 37 Thursday, January 31, 2008 9:47 AM Site Preparation Receiving the System When your MSD system is delivered, it is your responsibility to provide for removal of the shipping containers from the truck and their storage until installation. Contact your Agilent Technologies service representative as soon as your shipment arrives to arrange an installation date. Delivery and unloading The shipping containers are large and heavy. The largest container in the shipment is 121.
5975 Series Site Prep.book Page 38 Thursday, January 31, 2008 9:47 AM Site Preparation Storage It is your responsibility to store the containers until installation. If your site does not have adequate storage space, the containers may be stored at your expense in a bonded warehouse. Allow space for data system and accessory containers too. The environment in the storage area should be between 5 °C and 50 °C (41 °F and 122 °F), 20% to 80% relative humidity, non-condensing and non-corrosive.
5975 Series Site Prep.book Page 39 Thursday, January 31, 2008 9:47 AM Site Preparation Installation and Verification Installation Once the installation has begun, it should progress in a timely manner to completion. Delays due to inadequate site preparation could cause loss of instrument use during the warranty period. In extreme cases, Agilent Technologies may ask to be reimbursed for the additional time required to complete the installation.
