Connecting the nitrogen exhaust line
March 14, 2014, 715004387 Rev. B 231
To connect the nitrogen exhaust line:
1. Locate the exhaust trap bottle in an accessible area below the
instrument (see the figure on page 232 ).
2. Cut a length of 12-mm tubing long enough to connect the instrument to
the exhaust trap bottle.
Requirement:
Cut the tubing squarely (that is, perpendicularly to its
horizontal axis).
3. Connect one end of the tubing to the exhaust port on the rear panel and
the other end to one of two ports on the exhaust trap bottle.
4. Cut a length of 10-mm tubing long enough to connect the exhaust trap
bottle to the exhaust vent.
5. Insert one end of the tubing into the remaining port on the exhaust trap
bottle and route the other end to the exhaust vent.
Warning:
To avoid exposure to biohazards or toxic LC solvents
carried in the nitrogen exhaust, ensure that the nitrogen exhaust
is vented via the nitrogen exhaust trap bottle and laboratory
exhaust system. The laboratory exhaust system must provide a
minimum vacuum of 0.20 kPa (2 mbar, 0.03 psi) below
atmospheric pressure (negative pressure).
Warning:
To avoid personal contamination with biologically
hazardous, or toxic materials, and to avoid spreading
contamination to uncontaminated surfaces, wear clean,
chemical-resistant, powder-free gloves when working with the
exhaust connections.
Warning:
To avoid the buildup of hazardous gases, do not place the
nitrogen exhaust trap bottle in an enclosed cabinet.
Notice:
To prevent serious damage to the instrument, two
separate exhaust systems are required: one for nitrogen, the other
for the roughing pump. Vent the exhausts to atmosphere through
separate exhaust lines. Oil mist can seriously damage the
instrument if the nitrogen exhaust line connects with the roughing
pump exhaust line. Your warranty does not cover damage caused
by routing exhaust lines incorrectly.
