Bench Requirement
The benchtop or area in which the AAnalyst 200 instrument is to be installed should be large
enough to accommodate the instrument and any accessories you’ll be using. The instrument itself
weighs 49 kg (108 lb.). If you are considering the use of other accessories, the bench you choose
to use should be able to sustain as much as 136 kg (300 lbs.).
Location
Typically, the system is installed on a laboratory work bench or table. The table should be
smooth, level, and free from vibration. The dimensions for the instrument are listed below and
shown in the next figure. For other accessories, refer to the manuals supplied with the accessory
.
The bench should be located near the required electricity and gas supplies. Allow additional
power outlets for all your accessories. A distance of at least 6 inches (153 mm) should be
surrounding both sides and rear of the instrument for proper ventilation. If not possible, the bench
on which the instrument is placed should be on wheels so that it can be easily moved.
Accessories
Make sure that there is sufficient room near the spectrometer for any accessories. For example,
we recommend that you place the (optional) flame autosampler and mercury hydride system on
the left side of the instrument or on a roll cart in front of the instrument.
Printer
Refer to the manuals supplied with your printer for dimensions. The printer may be placed on the
bench next to the instrument.
