iCAP 6000 Series Pre-Installation Manual v3.1
Thermo Fisher Corporation
Do not position the equipment so that it is difficult to operate the
extraction, electrical supply, cooling water, purge gas and plasma gas
controls.
The atmospheric temperature requirement is 15 to 35°C (60 to 95°F),
the temperature should not change by more than 2°C per hour.
Atmospheric humidity should be 20 to 80% m/v for an ambient
temperature between 15 and 30°C and 20 to 60% m/v for an ambient
temperature between 30 and 35°C. Atmospheric conditions must be
non-condensing. The instrument room should be at a positive
pressure with respect to rooms with a corrosive atmosphere.
Warning
:
Argon is an asphyxiant; if the extraction is turned off
sufficient air must be supplied to prevent the concentration of Argon
reaching a harmful level.
The spectrometer will require an electrical supply at
200 to 240 VAC
4 KVA 50/60 Hz
. The spectrometer will be supplied with a 2.5m
mains cord.
For customers in the
USA and Canada
the mains cord supplied will
terminate in a NEMA L6-20P Twist&Lock plug. (Coding is black (X
– ac high), white (Y – ac low), green (G – earth/ground).
Figure 4–1.
NEMA L6-20P plug for USA/Canada
For customers in the
rest of the world
the mains lead is shipped with
no terminating plug, but with wires ready for a suitable 20 A plug.
Coding is blue (neutral), brown (live), green/yellow (earth/ground).
Connection to the laboratory supply should be with an appropriately
rated plug conforming to local electrical guide lines and local
requirements. It must be possible to electrically isolate the
instrumentation.
