Site Requirements and Specifications
Site Requirements
Bench Space
The autosampler dimensions and weight (see Table 4 on page 27) allow the
instrument to be placed on almost any laboratory bench. The instrument
requires an additional 2.5 cm (1.0 inch) of space on either side, and
approximately 8 cm (3.1 inches) at the rear for the circulation of air, and room
for electrical connections. Ensure the autosampler is installed in a horizontal
position.
The thermostatted autosampler dimensions and weight allow the instrument
to be placed on almost any laboratory bench. The instrument requires an
additional 25 cm (10 inches) of space on either side for the circulation of air,
and approximately 8 cm (3.1 inches) at the rear for electrical connections.
Ensure the autosampler is installed in a level position.
If a complete Agilent 1200 Infinity Series system is to be installed on the
bench, make sure that the bench is designed to carry the weight of all the
modules. For a complete system including the thermostatted autosampler it is
recommended to position the modules in two stacks, see
“Optimizing the Stack
Configuration” on page 37. Make sure that in this configuration there is 25 cm
(10 inches) space on either side of the thermostatted autosampler for the
circulation of air.
Environment
Your module will work within specifications at ambient temperatures and
relative humidity as described in
Table 4 on page 27.
C A U T I O N
Condensation within the module
Condensation will damage the system electronics.
➔
Do not store, ship or use your module under conditions where temperature
fluctuations could cause condensation within the module.
➔
If your module was shipped in cold weather, leave it in its box and allow it to warm
slowly to room temperature to avoid condensation.
