iCAP Q Operating Manual (P/N 1288090, Revision B)
5-9
Ventilation and Fume Exhaust
Heat generation and heat dissipation of the system depend on the
equipment employed. However, the iCAP Q system must always be
operated with active plasma exhaust. For a description of the exhaust
system, see
.
Vibration
Floors must be free of vibration caused, for example, by equipment in
adjoining locations.
NOTICE
The fore vacuum pump must not have any mechanical contact
to the mass spectrometer with exception of the vacuum hose during
operation. The vibration of the fore vacuum pump might impede the
performance of the instrument. Install the fore vacuum pump on the
floor beneath the mass spectrometer. Do not install the fore vacuum
pump near the system on the workbench.

Airborne Noise Emission
The mean value for the emission sound pressure level of the iCAP Q
instrument is below 70 dB.
CAUTION
!
