Agilent Technologies 5975 manual Other electrical considerations

Site Preparation

WA R N I N G	Do not use extension cords with the MSD or GC. Extension cords normally are not
	rated to carry enough power and can be a safety hazard.

N O T E

Maintain easy access to the power cords so they can be disconnected for maintenance.

Other electrical considerations

Additional electrical considerations include:

•Electromagnetic interference (EMI), such as is generated by NMRs, radio transmitters, and microwave links, may interfere with system performance.

•Protect the system from static electricity by observing humidity and temperature requirements. Minimize the presence of nonconductive products such as carpets and vinyl floor tiles.

•Install emergency-off pushbuttons that can disconnect power to the ventilation system and all electric equipment in the room except overhead lighting.

•Provide separate convenience outlets for building maintenance and other appliances. Convenience outlets must be on circuits separate from the MSD system. Convenience outlets must share the normal building distribution ground, not the MSD system ground.

•In some geographical areas it may be advisable to install lightning protection for personnel and equipment.
