Site preparation
If not already done, refer to Site Preparation in this manual for
information concerning proper site preparation.
Cooling considerations
Cooling: The instrument is cooled convectively: ambient air enters
through vents in side panels and from beneath the instrument. Warmed
air exits through slots in top, rear, and side panels. Since ventilation slots
in instrument top, side, and rear cover panels provide instrument cooling,
materials that might obstruct air flow must not be placed beneath or on
top of the instrument.
Caution
For proper cooling and general safety, always operate the instrument
with cover panels properly installed.
Oven Exhaust: Heated air (up to 450
^
C) from the column oven exits
through a vent in the rear. Allow at least 25 cm (10 inches) clearance
behind the instrument to dissipate the heated air. Also, place nothing
behind the instrument that might be damaged by the heated air exhaust.
Temperature•sensitiveitems (gas cylinders, chemicals, regulators, etc.)
should not be located in the path of the heated exhaust. Also, exercise
care in working at the rear of the instrument during cool•downcycles
to prevent possible burns.
