Pre-Installation Instructions
The information provided here will help you identify and prepare a suitable installation site for
your Saturn GC/MS. After you have prepared the site, and your Saturn GC/MS has been
delivered, please contact your local Varian, Inc. office to schedule your installation.
For Saturn 2100 systems, refer to these instructions plus the 3900 GC Pre-Installation
Instructions. For other Saturn systems, refer to these instructions plus the CP-3800 GC
Pre-Installation Instructions.
The Varian Saturn GC/MS has been designed to operate reliably under carefully controlled
environmental conditions. It is your responsibility to provide a suitable location, power source,
and operating environment. Operating or maintaining a system in operational conditions outside
of the power and operating environment limits described below could cause failures of many
types. The repair of such failures is specifically excluded from the Warranty and Service
contract conditions.
CAUTION
All phases of the installation site preparation must conform to local safety,
electrical, and building codes. These codes take precedence over any
recommendations in these instructions, and compliance to them is the
responsibility of the customer.
