This Quick Installation Guide provides information about how to install the TCC-100 
Thermostatted Column Compartment and its options. For additional information, please refer 
to the 

Operating Instructions

 for the instrument. 

 
 

1. General Information 

1.1 Preparation 

 
Bring the unit to a moderate temperature for four hours to allow any condensation that might 
have occurred during transit to evaporate. Do not connect the unit to the mains during this 
period. If it is obvious that condensation did not evaporate completely, continue to warm-up 
the unit (which is not connected to the mains) until the condensation is completely gone. 
 
Place the instrument on a firm and level surface that is free of vibration. Make sure that the 
surface is resistant to solvents. Avoid locations with extreme changes in temperature (such as 
direct sunlight or drafts) and high air humidity.  
 

1.2 Electrical Connection 

 

 

 

Connect the TCC-100 to the mains, using the 
power cord shipped with the instrument. 

Turn on the TCC-100 by pressing the power 
switch on the rear panel.
