Electrical requirements
• The OilExpress System can operate on electricity supplies of 50 or 60 Hz and on voltage
ranges of between 100 and 120 V or between 220 and 240 V.
•
The line supply must be within 10% of the nominal voltage.
•
The power rating of the Autosampler is 300 W.
• If possible, do not connect the OilExpress System to circuits that have heavy-duty
equipment, such as large motors, connected.
• If possible, do not use photocopiers, discharge lamps, radio transmitters, and other
equipment with large or frequent transient loads on the same supply circuit.
Environment
To obtain the best performance from your OilExpress System:
•
Place the OilExpress System in an environment that is relatively
dust-free.
• Make sure that the bench top is free from vibrations or mechanical shocks.
• Do not place the OilExpress System or the PC near to room heating equipment, for
example, central-heating radiators.
• Leave at least 7 cm (3 inches) from any vertical obstacle to the sides of the OilExpress
System, to permit an adequate flow of cooling air.
•
Make sure that there are no overhanging shelves, and no water pipes or faucets that
could leak onto the OilExpress System.
• The area near the PC must be free of strong magnetic fields, direct sunlight, and
heating or cooling units or ducts.
