TSQ 8000 Evo Preinstallation Requirements Guide

1. The power quality supplied to your system is very important. It must be stable and within
the minimum specifications listed in this section.
• Test the power source quality in your laboratory to offset line voltage problems.
Improving power source quality is a complex task best handled by a company or
consultant specializing in that field. Contact your regional Thermo Fisher Scientific
Customer Service office for assistance in locating a power consultant. Having a poor
quality power source degrades TSQ 8000 Evo system performance. Some examples of
poor power source quality are:
–
Harmonic distortion causes noise in the power supply lines and degrades
instrument performance. Harmonic distortion is a high-frequency disturbance
that may affect operation of your TSQ 8000 Evo MS. This disturbance appears
as distortion of the fundamental sine wave. Total harmonic distortion should be
less than 6%. For more information, refer to the
However, the power specifications for the TSQ 8000 Evo system are more exact
than those of the IEC.
–
Slow changes are gradual, long-term changes in average root mean square (RMS)
voltage level, with typical durations greater than 2 s.
–
Sags and swells are slow changes in average root mean square (RMS) voltage
level, with typical durations between 50 ms and 2 s.
–
Transients, even of a few microseconds duration cause electronic devices to fail or
to degrade and significantly shorten their lives. Transients (or impulses) are brief
voltage excursions of up to several thousand volts with durations less than 50 ms.
• Voltage variations must not exceed 10% of the nominal value.
• Transient overvoltages must not exceed those specified in category II of IEC
60364-4-443.

Foreline pump and optional mech pump plug into the TSQ 8000 Evo MS. At startup, the foreline pump and optional mech pump draw an
additional 30.8 A at 120 Vac and an additional 17 A at 230 Vac.

If using the foreline pump and optional mech pump at the same time, the peak power may reach up to 905 W for a brief period of time.

Power requirements vary by manufacturer.

If the using the temperature controlled drawer option, one additional circuit is needed.
