Thermo Scientific TSQ Quantum XLS and TSQ Quantum GC Preinstallation Requirements Guide 19
Installing a complete GC/MS system can require extensive electrical resources. Plan the power
system properly, with numerous outlets, to ensure that you can connect and power all of your
equipment. For the recommended number of outlets, see the sample laboratory setup in
Table 8 .
Connecting the TSQ Quantum XLS or TSQ Quantum GC Mass
Spectrometer, GC, and Other Modules to Wall Outlets
Take care not to exceed the wall outlet specifications. The maximum load for a 120 V ac
fourplex outlet is typically 20 A, and the maximum load for a 230 V ac fourplex outlet is
typically 16 A. See Tab le 7 for the maximum current ratings for the TSQ Quantum XLS and
TSQ Quantum GC systems and the data system.
The specifications for the modules in your system might vary from those in this guide. The
power specifications on the module always supersede those in the guide.
If your local area is susceptible to corrupted power or power disruptions, install an agency
recognized (NRTL approved) uninterruptible power supply (UPS) in your laboratory.
Uninterruptible Power Supply
If your local area is susceptible to corrupted power or power disruptions, install an
