About this Manual

This 

iCE 3000 Series Pre-Installation Requirements Guide

 describes the 

environment and the resources required at the installation site of the 
iCE 3000 Series AA spectrometer and associated equipment. Safety 
requirements for the installation are also detailed.

Thermo Scientific iCE 3000 Series AA spectrometers are designed to 
operate reliably under carefully controlled environmental conditions.

Operating a system or maintaining it in a condition outside the power 
and operating environment specifications described in this guide might 
cause failures of many types. The repair of such failures is specifically 
excluded from the standard warranty and service contract coverage.

For additional information, request specific pre-installation support 
directly through your local Thermo Fisher Scientific office.
