6 GC System Power Requirements

Power Requirements
Power consumption and requirements depend on the country to which the unit ships.
The number and type of electrical outlets depend on the size and complexity of the system.
To protect users, the metal instrument panels and cabinet are grounded through the
three-conductor power line cord in accordance with International Electrotechnical
Commission (IEC) requirements.
A proper earth ground is required for GC operations. Any interruption of the grounding
conductor or disconnection of the power cord could cause a shock that could result in
personal injury.
Be sure to verify proper receptacle grounding.
Do not use extension cords with Agilent instruments. Extension cords normally are not rated
to carry enough power and can be a safety hazard.
The length of the power cord is 2 meters (6.6 feet).
Do not use power line conditioners with Agilent instruments. Doing so may cause damage to
the equipment.
1 Ensure that each instrument in your GC system can be connected to a dedicated circuit
with an isolated ground. (Note that ALS instruments receive their power from the GC.)
2 Power requirements are printed near the power cord attachment on the rear panel of each
instrument. Although your GC should arrive ready for operation in your country, compare
its power requirements with those listed in Table 10. If the voltage option you ordered is
not suitable for your installation, contact Agilent Technologies.
