Use the following checklist to ensure that the site is properly prepared for GC system
installation.

1 Ensure that the appropriate installation hardware has been acquired.
See “Installation Kits” on page 14.

2 Ensure that the location in which the GC system is being installed meets the
requirements for environmental conditions. See “Environmental Conditions” on
page 24. Also see “Heat Dissipation” on page 25.

3 Prepare bench space for the GC system. Ensure that the bench has the size and
weight capacity to accommodate the GC and associated components. See “Bench
Preparation” on page 7. Also see “Dimensions and Weight” on page 18.

4 Ensure that system components are oriented so that they can be connected
properly. See “Maximum Length of Cables and Hoses” on page 10.

5 If the system being installed includes an MSD, ensure that the bench allows for
proper installation and connection of the foreline pump. See “Foreline Pump
Requirements for Systems Including an MSD” on page 20.

6 Ensure that appropriate venting is provided for the GC system. See “Exhaust
Venting” on page 28.

7 Ensure that a dedicated power circuit is available for each device in the system.
See “Power Requirements” on page 32.

8 Ensure that appropriate gas and reagent supplies are provided for the GC system.
See “Gas and Reagent Selection” on page 40.

9 Ensure that appropriate gas plumbing is provided for the GC system. See “Gas
Plumbing” on page 49.

10 If the GC system being installed includes a data system, ensure that the PC meets
the requirements necessary to properly support the GC system. For more
information, see the site prep guide for your data system.

11 If the GC being installed is to be connected to a site LAN, ensure that the appropriate
cabling is available. See “Site LAN Network” on page 56.
