Pre-installation Instructions
Before the Installation
User Representative
Schedule the installation when the User Representative will be available. One of the important
duties of the Varian Representative is to familiarize the User Representative with the basic
functions of the LC/MS.

Check the checklist box: User Representative will be available during the
installation and certification period.
Entrance
Before arranging delivery of the LC/MS, determine that there is sufficient clearance to move the
shipping cartons to the installation site. The largest shipping carton is 72 cm (28 in.) wide by
92 cm (36 in.) long. If the cartons are to be moved with the pallet, at least 92 cm (36 in.)
clearance is needed. Allow additional room for maneuvering the shipping containers around
corners and through doors.
;
Check the checklist box: Entrance to the installation site is at least 92 cm
(36 in.) wide.
CAUTION
The MS, foreline pumps, and LC are heavy. To prevent
personal injury, use appropriate moving and lifting
techniques.
Bench Space and Load
Use the following information to plan the layout of your LC/MS system. The Varian
Representative will unpack the cartons and put the modules on the bench.
Figure 1 shows a possible layout for the LC/MS with the 212-LC pumps and the 460-LC
AutoSampler. Tables 1 and 2 provide information about the bench.
Figure 2 shows a possible layout for the LC/MS with the 212-LC pumps and the HTS PAL
AutoSampler. Tables 3 and 4 provide information about the bench.
The bench must be strong enough to support the weight of all modules, wide enough for all
modules, and at least 84 cm (33 in.) deep for the MS.
