    Preparing Your Laboratory

    36 . Flexar LC Pumps User's Guide


    Preparing Your Laboratory . 37

    Overview
    Before installing your Flexar LC Pump, prepare your laboratory according to the following
    guidelines:

    Environmental Conditions
    The laboratory in which the Flexar LC Pump is located must meet the following conditions:

    • A corrosive-free environment.

    • The instrument will operate with a laboratory temperature between 10 and 35 °C.

    • Free of excessive vibration.

    The Flexar LC Pump has been designed for indoor use. Do not use the instrument in an area
    where explosion hazards may exist.

    Make sure that your laboratory environment consists of the following temperature and
    humidity levels:

    • Ambient temperature between 10 oC and 35 oC.

    • Constant relative humidity between 20% and 80%, without condensation.

    Use care when working with hazardous solvents or solvents that produce hazardous by-
    products.

    Solvent vapor levels that are high enough to interfere with the
    detector performance should be considered hazardous to
    someone who is continuously exposed to the vapors.

    WARNING

    Adequate Bench Space


    Provide bench or table space to accommodate the dimensions of the pump, the detector, and
    other instruments in the system. Provide space at the rear of the instruments for air
    circulation.

    Solvents/Mobile Phase
    Use only HPLC grade solvents in all analyses. HPLC grade water and methanol (1 liter each)
    are required for performance verification.

    Waste-Solvent Disposal
    Provide a properly labeled chemical waste container in a safe and vented place. Make sure
    that it is within all of the specified safety requirements for your location. Wear gloves, eye
    protection, and a laboratory coat when handling or disposing of chemical waste.

    Computer and Printer


    Refer to the manuals supplied with your computer and printer.

    Electrical Requirements

    The pump is shipped from the factory with:


    CAUTION • The operating voltage set to 120 VAC
    • The main AC power switch set to OFF
    You need to select the appropriate voltage setting and install the proper
    fuse(s) before installing the line cord and applying AC power.

    Sufficient Electrical Power

    The Flexar LC Pump requires a grounded nominal 100-, 120-, 220-, or 230/240-VAC source.
    The pump uses 120 VA maximum power. Data processing equipment and other accessories
    require separate outlets. (Refer to the appropriate instrument manual for the power
    requirements.)

    To prevent degradation of the pump’s performance, the AC line voltage must remain within
    ±10% of the nominal specified voltage (displayed on the label over the line cord). If there
    are large voltage fluctuations, install a voltage regulator between the pump and the AC
    outlet.

    A means of electrically grounding the instrument must be


    available at the customer site.

    WARNING

    NOTE: PerkinElmer instruments will normally operate within a 10% range of the specified voltage
    and within 1 Hz of the specified frequency, unless otherwise noted. If the power line is
    unstable, fluctuates in frequency or is subject to surges, additional control of the incoming
    power may be required.
