Figure 2 Recommended 1200L GC/MS System Layout
The 1200L GC/MS system should be installed on a clean, flat surface. The minimum bench
space required for the system is 57 cm x 195 cm, for the CP-3800 GC, 1200MS, and PC;
275 cm with the printer. Ensure that the bench is capable of supporting the weight of the
system: at least 150 kg plus allowances for any options.
The foreline pump plugs directly into the MS, and should be positioned on the floor beneath the
workbench on which the 1200 MS system sits. There is a 96 in. (2.44m) vacuum line from the
back, left of the MS that connects to the foreline pump.
The PC can be positioned either alongside the GC/MS or on a separate table. If a separate
table is chosen, it should be positioned within 10 ft (3m) of the rear of the 1200L.
NOTE: See Appendix 1 for exact module specifications.
Power Requirements 1200L GC/MS
The 1200L GC/MS system requires one dedicated duplex single-phase power source with earth
grounds hard-wired to the main power panel ground for the gas chromatograph, and a fourplex
power source for the mass spectrometer, computer, and monitor. If you have additional sample
preparation devices or test equipment, we recommend a separate dedicated power source for
their operation. Never plug the mass spectrometer and the chromatograph into the same power
source; otherwise, you may overload the power source. Never use the free outlet on any of the
power sources for equipment drawing more than 2A.
Within North America these power sources must be 20A, 100-115 Vac 60 Hz
±
3 Hz.
Outside North America, power sources must be 10A, 200-240 Vac, 50 Hz
±
3 Hz.
