Step 1: Selecting a Location

The instrument should be placed on a clean, unobstructed surface approximately 22" (55 cm) deep by 10" (24 cm) wide that can support 44 pounds (19.9 kg) in addition to existing equipment. Figure 10 illustrates the relationship between the major system components. To facilitate proper heat dissipation, an additional 1-2" (2.5-5.0 cm) should be available at the rear and on both sides of the instrument. Distance between the SCD and the GC is limited by the length of gas and heater lines.

Position the Controller on top of the Detector box or in another convenient location near both the Detector and GC. The Controller requires supplies of hydrogen and oxidant (air for the SCD and oxygen for the NCD). The length of the gas inlet lines limit the distance between the Controller and the Burner to approximately 1 meter.

There are two pump options for the Detector, each with different size requirements. The Edwards RV5 oil-sealed vacuum pump requires a 6.3" (16cm) by 18.5" (47cm) area on a shelf or a nearby floor and a minimum height clearance of 22" (58 cm). The pump weight is 52 lbs (24 kg). The Dry Piston Pump (oil-free) requires a 9" (22 cm) by 14" (35 cm) area on a shelf or a nearby floor and a minimum height clearance of 12" (30 cm). The pump weight is

30 lbs (13.6 kg). The distance to the 355 Detector for both pump options is limited by the power cord connection—6 ft (2 m) for the oil-free piston pump or 8 ft (2.4 m) for the oil-sealed vacuum pump.

N O T E

Consider placing the oil-sealed pump over a plastic or metal container to capture any oil

leaks or spills.
