Installation conditions
4.1
Environmental conditions
The PlasmaQuant PQ 9000 may only be operated in closed rooms. The location must have the
character of a chemical laboratory. The location must meet the following conditions:
It must be free of dust, drafts, vibrations and caustic fumes.
Do not place the PlasmaQuant PQ 9000 near sources of electromagnetic interference.
Avoid direct sunlight and heater radiation on the PlasmaQuant PQ 9000. Air conditioning is
recommended at the location. The cool air emanating from the air conditioning unit should
not be directed at the device.
A separate room is recommended for sample preparation and storing liquid chemicals.
The following requirements are placed on the climatic conditions in the operating room of the
PlasmaQuant PQ 9000:
Temperature range
+15°C to +35°C, at best +20°C to +25°C
as constant as possible during measuring
Max. humidity:
90% at 20
℃
Air pressure
0.7 bar to 1.06 bar
Max. permissible altitude
2000 m

Energy supply
WARNING! Observe the mains connection!
During electrical installation, observe the VDE (German Association for Electrical Engineers)
electrotechnical guidelines and local regulation requirements!
The mains supply must be correctly earthed.
Do not use an adapter in the mains cabling.
The PlasmaQuant PQ 9000 is operated on single-phase alternating current. Optimum device
function strongly depends on a correct mains connection with adequate cable cross-section.
The mains connection must be protected on the input (building) side with a 35 A slow-blow fuse
and is required to be installed prior to delivery of the PlasmaQuant PQ 9000 near the assembly
point. The instrument cable is 3 m long. The CEE surface socket
(2 pole + E Blue 5UR 3 206-2 220/32) is supplied according to the terms of delivery.
To avoid sudden voltage fluctuations, do not connect the
PlasmaQuant PQ 9000 to the same electrical circuits as other power-intensive devices.
