Agilent Technologies G6600-90006 manual Ard

26The vacuum pump should be placed within approximately 3 feet of the Detector (elevation not important), in order to connect the vacuum hose from the back of the Detector to the chemical trap. A hose clamp should be placed over the hose, and the hose should be connected to the straight end of the chemical trap. Tighten the hose clamp securely.

WA R N I N G	Vent the exhaust gas from the vacuum pump to fume hood to eliminate any potential haz-
	ard.

27Place the vacuum pump in an adequately ventilated area or connect an exhaust line (not provided) to the outlet located at the top of the mist filter. Attach an aluminum 1/2-inch barbed adapter to the outlet with the metal clamping ring and another centering o-ring. Secure the exhaust line with a hose clamp (not provided) to the aluminum adapter. Route the exhaust line to a fume hood or other suitable discharge location.

28Shape the exhaust line to capture excess water (see Figure 14). Do not allow water to condense in the exhaust line and drip back into the coalescing filter. Alternatively, install a water trap using a vacuum flask after the coalescing filter to capture excess water and prevent water from dripping back into the coalescing filter.

WA R N I N G	It is imperative that water does not condense in the exhaust line and fall back into the
	mist filter. It is recommended that transparent 3/8 inch (0.95 cm) id tubing be used as an
	exhaust line.
