iCE 3000 Series Pre-Installation Requirements Guide (P/N 9499 500 30031, Version 1.6)
Thermo Scientific
Ideally, the instrument should be placed on a movable bench with
50 cm of access behind the instrument. The mounting surface must be
level and the instruments must not be placed on any type of cushioning
as this could block ventilation.
The mounting arrangements should be capable of supporting the weight
of the spectrometer and its accessories. Make sure that the working
surface is sufficiently rigid to prevent vibration as this may affect the
optical alignment of the spectrometer and the accessories.
To avoid the possibility of liquid ingress into the top of the spectrometer
the location should ensure it is not possible to store samples or other
liquids directly above the instrumentation.
Environmental Requirements
The atmospheric temperature requirement is 5 to 40 °C (41 to 104 °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 5 and 30 °C and 20 to 60% m/v for an ambient
temperature between 30 and 40 °C.
Atmospheric conditions must be non-condensing. The instrument
room should be at a positive pressure with respect to rooms with a
corrosive atmosphere.
Electrical Requirements
The spectrometer will require an electrical supply at 100 to 240 VAC,
300 VA, 50/60 Hz. The spectrometer will be supplied with a 2 m mains
cord with USA type or Non USA (rest of world) type coding. USA
coding is black (X - ac high), white (Y - ac low), green
(G - earth/ground). Rest of World coding is blue (neutral), brown (live),
green/yellow (earth/ground).
The furnace power supply unit will require a single phase mains supply
of 200/210/220/230 or 240 VAC, 7.2 kVA, 50/60 Hz (see red label on
furnace power supply for individual voltage setting). In normal
operation, the furnace power supply may draw surge currents in excess
of the nominal rating. A dedicated supply should be used which may
require the inclusion of delayed action protection devices such as circuit
breakers or motor start fuses.
The furnace power supply unit should be connected to a supply with an
impedance of 0.124
or less. It is the responsibility of the user of the
unit to ensure by consultation with the local supply authority if
necessary, that the unit is connected to this type of supply.
