Installation
The Phoenix instrument should be installed on a laboratory work bench with access
to a fume hood or other means of fume disposal.
Installation Site
To install the Phoenix, choose a location that:
1. provides at least 8 in. (20 cm) space on each side and 6 in. (15 cm) space in the
rear for proper ventilation.
2. is free from vibration of large equipment.
3. provides a temperature range of 41°F (5°C) to 104°F (40°C).
4. provides adequate bench space for sample handling and printer placement.
5. permits the instrument to be connected to a dedicated, grounded outlet. The
Phoenix instrument should be operated on a stabilized, constant voltage AC
power supply, and the voltage must be within ±10% of the specifi ed level.
(Refer to the “Specifi cations” in this manual.)
Note: Measure line voltage to ensure that it meets system specifi cations.
CAUTION
Line voltage fl uctuations greater than 10% will affect instrument
performance.
6. provides access to a fume hood or other means of fume disposal.
CAUTION
Do not install the Phoenix instrument inside a fume hood. Placing
the instrument in a fume hood can cause a thermal overload. Vent
the Phoenix into a fume hood means of the exhaust hose.
7. (AirWave only) permits access to a compressed air supply (minimum 90 psi
@ 13 SCFM through a 1/4” to 5/16” ID air line with valve open and air fl owing
through system) (maximum 150 psi air pressure). If the Phoenix AirWave is
more than 50 feet from the compressed air supply, the air line should be
increased to 5/8” ID. Compressed air supply should be increased if the exhaust
hose is more than 16 feet. Air fl ow is reduced by approximately 10% by each
additional 8-foot section of hose. The exhaust system is equipped with a male
quick disconnect coupler plug “M” style to be coupled with an “M” style female
coupler body (customer supplied).
