Pre-installation Instructions
Humidity
The relative humidity of the operating environment must be between 20 and 80%, with no
condensation. Operating the LC/MS at a very low humidity may result in the accumulation and
discharge of static electricity, shortening the life of electronic components. Operating the
system at high humidity may create condensation and result in short circuits.
Varian recommends using a combination temperature and humidity monitor in your installation
site.
;
Check the checklist box: Relative humidity maintained between 20 and 80%.
Particulate Matter
Your installation site must not have excessive dust, smoke, or other particulate matter.
Particulate matter may block airflow vents causing the electronics to overheat.
;
Check the checklist box: Installation site is free of excessive particulate matter.
Power Requirements
212-LC
Power Input: 85-264V ac; 47-63 Hz; 60 Watts; 100 VA
460-LC
The 460-LC requires 95-240V ac± 10%; 50 - 60 Hz; 200 VA.
216-LC
115V ac; +15/-20%; 50/60 Hz; 250 VA
230V ac; +15/-20%; 50/60 Hz; 250 VA
(For UPS, assume 250W)
For 115V ac: one 5.0 AT-fuse (5 x 20 mm, IEC 127)
For 230V ac: one 2.5 AT-fuse
All fuses supplied with the 216-LC instrument are UL-listed and CSA-certified.
The 216-LC must be used with appliances and power sources that have the proper protective
grounding.
MS
The MS requires a separate circuit, and the outlet must have adequate amperage capacity and
a reliable ground. The power source must be clean and capable of providing up to 220-240V ac,
50/60 Hz ±3 Hz, 1.0 kW.
