2. Unpacking, Assembly, Installation
Unpacking
The entire unit comes in six corrugated-fiberboard boxes: GC, MS, RP, PC, CRT, and printer.
The GC unit weighs 30kg and the MS unit weighs 45kg. Take care to avoid accidents when
unpacking these heavy boxes. After opening the boxes, check that all accessories have
been supplied correctly.
Assembly
Check that the desk is strong enough to easily support the GC, MS, and PC (totaling
approximately 110kg) and does not distort or become unstable.
Position the instrument with a space of at least 300mm at the rear and 400mm at the left of
the MS unit.
Connect the wiring and tubes as shown in the diagram below.
Check the following points before turning on the power.
AC line insulation checks (with a tester)
GC: Turn on the main switch and confirm that the resistance across the power line and earth
exceeds the limit of measurement.
MS: Confirm that the resistance of the I/F heater (connector e or h to earth) exceeds the
Carrier gas connector port
