Installation
The AI 3000/AS 3000 II can be installed on the right or left side of the GC according to the
following indications:
Right configuration
The right configuration, see Figure 5 , is the default configuration for all the GC units.
Figure 5. Right Configuration
Left Configuration
The left configuration, see Figure 6 , is only possible with the TRACE GC Ultra.
The installation of the AI 3000/AS 3000 II requires a dedicated metal support on the base of
the sampler support.
Figure 6. Left Configuration
Gemini Configuration
Two AI 3000/AS 3000 II are installed on the same TRACE 1300/TRACE 1310 or TRACE
GC Ultra by using their own dedicated supports. Refer to
“Sampling System Support” on
page 23 .
Note The right configuration is the only one possible on the TRACE 1300/TRACE 1310
and FOCUS GC.
WARNING If an existing AI 3000 auto-injector will be upgraded to AS 3000
auto-sampler, it is very important to switch off the AI 3000 before to install the 105
sample tray and plug-in its electrical cable. This recommendation will prevent a possible
driver failure on AI 3000’s pcb.
