2-4 Setting up the Detector
Site selection requirements
Install the detector in an area that meets the requirements in the table at the
end of this section.
The detector is a stackable unit and does not require bench space beyond the
dimensions shown in the figure on page 2-5 .
Place the detector close to the column outlet to minimize band broadening,
which reduces the resolution of a chromatogram.
Tip:
If your system includes more than one detector, connect the ELS detector
so that it is the final detector in the series because it nebulizes column effluent
and exhausts it as gas vapor.
Caution:
To avoid damaging the detector, the amount of weight stacked
on top of it should not exceed 18 kg (40 pounds).
Installation site requirements
Parameter Requirement
Operating temperature
range
4 to 30 °C (39.2 to 86 °F); avoid direct exposure
to sunlight and heating and cooling vents
Storage temperature
range
-30 to 60 °C (-22 to 140 °F))
Relative humidity 20 to 95%, noncondensing
Storage humidity range 0 to 95%, noncondensing
Bench space At least 33.53 cm (13.2 inches) wide × 66.04 cm
(26 inches) deep
×
20.8 cm (8.2 inches) high
(includes 15.0 cm [6 inches] clearance at the
rear and 5 cm [2 inches] clearance on the left for
ventilation)
At least 5 cm (2 inches) clearance is needed on
the left side of the detector to allow venting for
nebulizer cooling. Blocking this vent could
adversely affect nebulizer cooling.
Power Grounded AC, 100 to 240 VAC,
50 to 60 Hz nominal 200 VA
