Preparing Your Lab

In many countries, PerkinElmer offers an accessory blower and vent kit that will fulfill the
exhaust requirements for all atomic spectroscopy instruments, or your local PerkinElmer office
can supply you with the addresses of suitable suppliers.
In many countries electrical codes do not permit PerkinElmer service engineers to install the
blower and vent assembly.
Blower and vent kit
The blower and vent kit (P/N 0303-0406) available from PerkinElmer contains a rotary blower
with associated hardware, a hood to be located above the instrument, an adapter to connect the
blower and hood to suitable metal ducting, and installation instructions. The blower requires a
line voltage of 120 V or 230 V. The adapter and hood are made of stainless steel. The metal
ducting required to connect the hood to the blower and for the exhaust from the blower is not
included in the kit.

The permanent installation of gas supplies is the responsibility of the user and should conform to
local safety and building regulations. PerkinElmer recommends that cylinders be stored outside
the laboratory and that gases be piped to the spectrometer system in approved gas lines.
•
The user must provide the gas supplies, regulators, connectors, and valves.
An air compressor is recommended for air. A double-stage or heated regulator is
recommended for nitrous oxide. Either the gas supplier or PerkinElmer can provide the
correct regulators and valves.
•
You must be able to reach the on/off valves easily and see the pressure indicators.
