If no space for the pump is available beneath the workbench, you can
place the pump near the left side of the bench. In this case, the left side
of the iCAP RQ instrument ideally aligns with the left side of the
workbench.
shows the connections for the fore vacuum pump on the
left hand side of the instrument.
A stainless steel vacuum hose with a length of 2 m and an OD of 52 mm
is delivered with the instrument for the vacuum connection (
3
in
). The flange diameter is 40 mm (Iso-KF 40). For the
exhaust connection (
4
), tubing of 2.7 m length with an
OD of 20 mm (ID 13 mm) is delivered with the instrument.
If you need a longer vacuum hose, contact Thermo Fisher Scientific.
Because of the large bending radius of the hose, the actual reach of the
vacuum hose is shorter than the given length. Either run the vacuum
hose left of the workbench or make a cutout through the bench for it.
The cutout must have minimum dimensions of 10 cm × 10 cm. Allow
for room to run the power cord and the exhaust tubing from the fore
vacuum pump through the cutout as well.
For information on the power supply of the fore vacuum pump, see
