Thermo Scientific TSQ Quantum XLS and TSQ Quantum GC Preinstallation Requirements Guide 9
Operating Environment
Attention to the operating environment will ensure continued high performance of your
TSQ Quantum XLS or TSQ Quantum GC system. Any expenditures for air conditioning are
more than offset by good sample throughput and reduced repair costs. Ta ble 3 lists the
operating environment requirements and indicates where you will find additional details.
You are responsible for providing the operating environment necessary for the proper use of
the TSQ Quantum XLS or TSQ Quantum GC GC/MS system.

Temperature
The laboratory room temperature must be maintained between 15 and 27 °C
(59 and 81 °F). Also, ensure that the temperature does not fluctuate by more
than ±5 °C (±9 °F) to ensure good performance.
For the TSQ Quantum XLS and TSQ Quantum GC instruments, the
temperature in the room must not vary at a rate greater than 2 °C/h (3.6 °F/h).
The ideal operating temperature for the TSQ Quantum XLS instrument is
between 18 and 21 °C (65 and 70 °F). The temperature must be controlled to
within 2 °C (3.6 °F).
10
Humidity
Ensure that the relative humidity of the operating environment is between
40 and 80%, with no condensation.
11
Vibration
Requires a vibration-free workbench.
11
Lighting
Requires adequate lighting for instrument operation. A high-intensity lamp for
instrument maintenance is recommended.
11
Particulate matter
The air should contain fewer than 100 000 particles per cubic foot (3 500 000
particles per cubic meter) in excess of 5 μm.
