Installation Environment

Although the unit operates in the range of ambient temperatures of 5°C ~ 40°C and relative humidity of 5% ~ 90%, use it within the range of 10°C ~ 30°C ambient and 50 ~ 60% relative humidity for longer service life and the optimum specifications. (Operating temperature range: 5°C ~ 40°C, specified temperature range: 10°C ~ 30°C)

Installation place

The following installation area is required. Install the unit at place which is protected from vibration and direct sunlight. As high-temperature (400°C) air is exhausted from the rear of the unit, do not place combustible things around the unit.

Power

115/220V AC (50Hz/60Hz) and 2.0 kVA max, capacity are necessary for the power source of the unit (with no satellite oven installed).

Column oven               1.3kVA

INJ block                      150VA

DET block-                  300VA

TCD block                   200VA

Total consumed power is calculated by totalling the power consumed by INJ, DET, column oven, and AUX blocks.

Range of source voltage                     ± 10%

Specified range of source voltage      ± 5%

Power cable

As the maximum capacity of power exceeds 15A, power cannot be supplied from a general outlet. Accordingly, supply power from a specially-wired terminal with large capacity. Exercise caution in wiring in accordance with the functions and color of the power cable, as described below.

and on-column injection,                    2 flow lines

Injection port unit for                Exclusive injection port for capillary analysis

for capillary columns:

Overheat protection circuit                        3 circuits

1. 450°C-fixed independent protection circuit.
2. Protection circuit for which the upper- lirnit temperature can be set via key operation.
3. Overheat protection circuit by CPU abnormality detection

Combination of Detectors

1. Four detectors at maximum from among TCD, FID, ECD, FPD, and FTD can be simul-taneously installed to the detector oven of the GC main body. Two TCD detectors cannot be set simultaneously.
2. Only two types of detector controllers (except FTD) can be installed simultaneously to the control section of the GC. Another unit should be applied for installing three or more detector controllers, or FTD.
