Making the Initial Instrument Preparations
Place the pump on a laboratory bench as close as possible to a designated electrical outlet. Be
sure to place the system in a
draft-free
location away from an open window, air conditioner
vents, or other circulating air source. A stable room temperature is necessary for applications
requiring maximum detection sensitivity. The area should also be free from dust, moisture,
direct sunlight, strong electromagnetic fields, and physical vibrations. Allow at least 15 cm
(6 in.) of clear space between the back panel of the pump and any wall or obstruction. This
provides access to the back-panel connectors and a free flow of cooling air.
Making the Initial Back Panel Connections
In addition to connecting the MS pump to line power, operation of the Surveyor MS Pump
Plus requires connecting two cables to the back panel of the pump. See
. One is a
serial communication cable that is used to download analytical methods to, and upload
pressure information from, the pump. The other is a system synchronization cable that is used
to coordinate the operation of the pump with the other Surveyor modules.

Back panel connections
CAUTION
Never connect the pump to, or operate the pump with, an electrical line source
that has power drops or fluctuations of 10% below the nominal rated line voltage.
CAUTION
Do not connect the power cord or turn on the pump yet. Wait until the
Powering On for the First Time
section of this chapter.
