Electrical Requirements
Power to the NexION 300 ICP-MS is to be delivered from
one 30A/32A single-phase 200-240V dedicated electrical
branch circuit, according to the power specifications in Table 4.
Table 5 provides the electrical supply requirements and
approximate power consumption of the peripherals. If the
power line is unstable, fluctuates or is subject to surges,
additional control of the incoming power may be required.
The vacuum roughing pump is provided with a mains supply
plug suitable for the country of installation (shown in Figure 4)
and must be connected to a separate branch circuit/wall
outlet. It requires one 15A single-phase 200-240V outlet
– see Table 5. See Figure 3 (Page 4) for the location and
lengths of hoses, lines, cords and cables.
Facilities Requirements
Table 3 provides information on the gas and liquid services required for the NexION 300 ICP-MS. Tables 4 and 5 show the
electrical supply requirements and approximate power consumption of the NexION 300 ICP-MS and its major accessories.

MAGNETIC SUSCEPTIBILITY. Do NOT place NexION
300 ICP-MS close to any other instrumentation
or equipment that emits high magnetic fields.
External magnetic field strength must not exceed
10 Gauss at NexION 300 ICP-MS.
• Use only approved regulators and hose connectors. Left-
hand thread fittings are used for fuel gas tank connections
whereas right-hand fittings are used for oxidant and
support gas connections.
• Arrange gas hoses where they will not be damaged or
stepped on and where things will not be dropped on
them.
• Perform periodic gas leak tests by applying a soap solution
to all joints and seals.
• It is strongly recommended that Universal Cell Tech-
nology
™
(UCT) gases be installed in a gas cabinet with
adequate ventilation.
