Thermo Scientific QuantStudio 1 - Instrument Clearances; Electrical Requirements

During instrument installation and maintenance, it is necessary to access the back of
the instrument. If the back of the instrument faces a wall, ensure that there is sucient
clearance on the bench to rotate the instrument for access.
IMPORTANT! For safety, the power outlet for the instrument must be accessible.

WARNING! For safety, the power outlet used for powering the instrument
must be accessible at all times. See “Instrument clearances“ on page 88 for
information about the space needed between the wall and the instrument. In
case of emergency, you must be able to immediately disconnect the main power
supply to all the equipment. Allow adequate space between the wall and the
equipment so that the power cords can be disconnected in case of emergency.
• Electric receptacle with grounding capability
• Maximum power dissipation: ~960 W (not including computer and monitor)
• Mains AC line voltage tolerances must be up to ±10 percent of nominal voltage
