Space
Requirements
Allow sufficient bench space to permit installation of workstations,
integrators, autosamplers and other peripheral GC equipment. The table
below lists the physical dimensions and weight of the GC and the
peripheral instruments which may be installed near it. Allow six inches of
space at the sides and rear of the GC to permit free air circulation.
The power cord, gas inlets and the optional Ethernet® communications
port are located on the rear panel of the instrument. The power switch is to
the rear of the top cover. Signal output connectors for peripheral
instrumentation such as autosamplers and integrators are located under
the left top cover of the instrument.

The 3800 Gas Chromatograph is intended for indoor
use and certified for operation up to an altitude of
2000m, however, the 3800 is designed for use at higher
altitudes. Varian GCs should be protected from
corrosive chemicals or gases, dust/ particulate
accumulation, and direct venting of air conditioners,
heaters, furnaces or fans.
