B • Installation
B.1 Facilities Required
•
Make sure the PDA-100 installation site meets the electrical and
environmental specifications listed in Appendix A.
•
Install the PDA-100 on a sturdy workbench. Allow at least 6 cm (2.4 in) of
clearance behind the PDA-100 for power connections and ventilation. Do not
block air flow to the detector; during operation, room air is inducted into the
detector to cool the electronics and dissipate the heat generated by the lamps.
•
Optical detectors are sensitive to changes in temperature and light. Protect the
PDA-100, the columns, and all tubing connections from drafts. Do not operate
the PDA-100 unless the front panel, flow cell cover, and lamp cover are in
place.
•
Optical detectors are sensitive to vibrations. Make sure the PDA-100
installation site is vibration-free.
B.2 Unpacking
•
Carefully remove the PDA-100 from the shipping container.
•
Do not turn on the PDA-100 unless it is at room temperature (10 ºC to 40 ºC;
50 ºF to 104 ºF). If the detector is moved from a cold environment to a warm
environment, wait at least 1 hour for condensation to evaporate before turning
on the mains power.
•
The PDA-100 Ship Kit contains the parts required to install the detector:
Lift the PDA-100 by the side or bottom only; the front panel snaps into
place and must not be used for lifting the detector.
