1 Installing the GC
Installation and First Startup 13
Step 1 Place the GC on the bench
The GC requires a bench that can support its weight plus that of other equipment you will use
with it. The area must be free of overhanging obstructions that might interfere with
autosamplers, or that limit access to the top of the instrument. The area must include
sufficient space behind the GC to allow for cooling.
1 Remove the GC from its shipping box.
2 Place the GC on the bench top. Make sure gas and power supplies are accessible. Place
related equipment near the GC.
The power cord is the power disconnect device. Do not position the instrument such that
access to the coupler or plug is impaired.
Make sure your GC has adequate distance from the wall and other instruments.
3 If space is limited behind the GC, attach the optional oven exhaust deflector to the back of
the GC as shown below. (Order Option 306 or part number G3450-81650.) The deflector
hangs from the exhaust vents on four hooks.
