Chapter 2: Preparing for Installation

Space Requirements
Most analytical applications benefit from utilizing the shortest sample flow
path. Therefore, you should place the valve/pump module in close proximity to
the nebulizer of the analytical instrument. The required space for ASX
PRESS
PLUS system installation includes separate accommodations for both the
valve/pump module and for the electronics module as follows:
Valve/Pump Module Electronics Module
Height 12.8 cm 25.4 cm
Width 5.8 cm 8.3 cm
Depth 21.7 cm 20.0 cm
Weight 1.3 kg (2.9 lbs) 1.4 kg (3.0 lbs)
Table 2-1: Physical Characteristics
The above listed dimensions allows for space to accommodate the sample loop
and connection tubing, as well as cabling.
In most cases, you will also need to allow space just behind or beside the
autosampler for an external rinse pump (approximately 14x10x10 cm).
Liquid Waste Routing Requirements
Ensure that there is a liquid waste receptacle within two meters of the
ASX
PRESS PLUS valve/pump module. The waste receptacle inlet should be at
least 30 to 60 centimeters lower than the ASX
PRESS PLUS Rapid Sample
Introduction System vacuum pump outlet and set up so that the rinse drain
tubing drops directly into the waste receptacle with no coiling and without
being submerged below the liquid level of the waste receptacle.
Power Requirements
The ASXPRESS PLUS electronics module receives power through the connection
to the external desktop power supply. Place the ASX
PRESS PLUS electronics
module within 3 meters of a power outlet.
SHOCK AND FIRE HAZARD
Use only the provided power supply. The power supply must be plugged
into an outlet which has a protective ground connection.
The ASXPRESS PLUS system is intended to operate from DC power supplied
through the provided power supply. The power supply is provided power
through an AC power source that will not apply more than 240VAC between
the supply conductors and ground. A protective ground connection by way of
the grounding connector in the power cord is required for safe operation.
Ensure that you position the electronics module so that the location where the
power supply cord plugs into it is easily accessible (is not blocked) and it can
be quickly disconnected if needed.
The power supply socket is on the back of the electronics module next to the
power switch. Connect the power supply to the electronics module first and
then connect a line cord to the power supply. Do not apply power to the power
supply until ready to operate the autosampler.
