8 Agilent 7890B Installation
1 Installing the GC
Overview of Installation
Purpose of this procedure
This procedure ensures that instruments and systems are
installed and functioning as designed. Correct installation is the
first step in ensuring that instruments and systems operate
reliably over their lifetime.
Customer responsibilities
1 Make sure your site meets the basic requirements, including
the necessary space, electrical outlets, gases, tubing,
operating supplies, consumables and other usage-dependent
items required for a successful installation. Refer to the
Agilent GC, GC/MS, and ALS Site Preparation Guide.
2 If Agilent is delivering installation and familiarization
services, users of the instrument should be present
throughout these services; otherwise, these users will miss
important operational, maintenance, and safety information.
Additional information is included with the Agilent GC and
GC/MS User Manuals & Tools DVD.
If your site complies with all site preparation specifications, the
average installation time for the GC is about 2 hours. Allow
more time for any additional products (for example, an ALS),
add-ons, and software.
