Installation and Setup

Allow at least 94 cm (3’) on either side of the TD/GC to

accommodate additional equipment (for example, the computer).

The laboratory bench should be sturdy enough to support the full

weight of the GC, the TD as well as additional support equipment

(i.e., computer and/or printer). Expect the total weight of the GC/

ATD and accessory equipment to be at least 136 kg (300 lbs).

The TD may be positioned to the left or right of the GC.

If the TD is to be installed as part of an AutoSystem XL or Clarus

500/TurboMass system, the TD should be fitted with the optional

long transfer line (P/N M041-3558) if you want to install it to the left

of the TurboMass. In these cases, approximately 180 cm (~ 6’) of

bench length will be required for the ATD/TD/GC/TurboMass

system. This does not include the space required for the computer

and related hardware.

For maximum stability and minimum maintenance, the site for the

instrument and any accessories must:

• Be located close to the required electrical supply and gas

supplies.

• Have sufficient room to work comfortably with the instruments,

and allow you to reach connections at the rear of the

instruments.

• Have enough space to place the gas chromatograph near the

ATD/TD in a convenient position.

• Have enough space to place the computer and any hardware

associated with the data handling system near the instrument in a

convenient position. If you are connecting a printer, make sure

that there is enough space for the printer.

• If necessary, leave enough room for a hydrogen generator and

zero air generator.

WARNIN

To prevent potential injury to yourself and damage to the

instrument, switch off all instruments in the system and

disconnect them from the line power supply before you alter,

or make any new, electrical connections.
