leaves an inspection report. Register any claims for shipping
damage against the carrier or his agent. Save the shipping
carton in the event a return is necessary. Call Thermo
Scientific technical service for further assistance.
Site preparation

is clean, dry, level, and within 4 feet (1.2 meters) of a
compatible electrical outlet. Place the unit in a convenient
location with access to a vacuum source and a vapor trap
1
.
The SPD210 units configured for 115 VAC, 60 Hz, should be
plugged into a circuit rated for at least 8 amps. The SPD210
units configured for 230 VAC, 50 Hz, should be plugged into
a circuit rated for at least 6 amps.

1.To prevent damage to pump due to vapor exposures from sample solvent and to extend pump life, a vapor trap that condenses and traps vapors must be
placed in line between the SpeedVac™ concentrator and vacuum pump. We offer integrated universal vacuum systems (integrated vapor trap with the
vacuum pump) or component vacuum system (vapor trap plus vacuum pump).
CAUTION:
Be sure to leave at least 4 inch
clearance on all sides of the unit. Overhead
clearance, equal to 19 inch (48 cm), is required
for raising the cover. Verify that the unit is on a
leveled and stable platform. If necessary, move
the unit to a more suitable location.
WARNING:
Before connecting the unit to an
electrical outlet, make certain that voltage,
frequency, and amperage match the
requirements indicated on the product label,
name plate of the instrument. Use sockets with a
protective earth conductor and correct mains
cable.
CAUTION:
Cold trap should be in line between
the vacuum source and the SPD Unit.
