The automatic liquid sampler has certain environmental, space, and electrical
power requirements.
Environmental considerations
The automatic liquid sampler is designed to operate within ranges of
temperature and relative humidity.
• Temperature range: 0° to 55°C
• Relative humidity range: 5% to 95% at 40°C
• Altitude ranges: up to 2,300 m
Agilent Technologies recommends an environment comfortable for the
operators (reasonably constant temperature and humidity) for optimum
performance and instrument lifetime.
Caution Do not place any instruments that release heat on top of or underneath the
controller. For example, do not place an integrator on top of the controller.
The additional heat can cause damage to its electrical components.
Space considerations
The injector and tray increase the space requirements for the GC. The exact
amount depends on the model of the GC. Figure 2 shows the space
requirements for the components with a 6890 Series GC.
Installed on the 6890 Series GC, the injector adds 44 cm (17 in.) in height. The
tray adds 30.3 cm (9 in.) to the left side and 3 cm (2 in.) to the front. The
controller requires a clear surface about 33 cm (13 in.) wide and 38 cm
(15.2 in.) deep. About 20 cm (8 in.) of the depth is required for cabling. If you
place the controller on its right-hand side (i.e., power switch up), it needs a
clear surface of 38 cm (15.2 in.) deep and 14 cm (6 in.) wide.
