Varian Saturn 2000 GC/MS Pre-Installation Instructions

Space and Weight Requirements
Before arranging for delivery of the Saturn GC/MS to your facility, please make sure that all
passages to the site of installation are at least 91.5 cm (36 in.) wide. Allow additional room for
maneuvering the shipping container around corners and/or through doors.
Table 1 identifies the space and weight requirements of the Saturn GC/MS components. The
Saturn GC/MS is intended to sit on a workbench that is wide enough and deep enough to
accommodate these components, and sturdy enough to support their combined weight. Varian
recommends the layout shown in Figure 1, and the space allowances in Table 2.
