5890 Series II Installation
Review your shipment.
If AIR is doing your system installation, please do not open your system boxes when they are delivered. The AIR service engineer will do this at the time of installation. If there is any visible damage to the outside of any boxes, please notify the shipper and Analytical Instrument Recycle immediately. If possible, note the damage on the shippers paperwork. Keep all shipping materials for inspection by the shipper. If you are doing your own installation, please check the contents of the shipment against the packing list to insure all items have been delivered.
What are the 5890 Series II power requirements?
The 5890 can be configured to accept several different voltages and phases. For deliveries in the United States, unless specifically stated to the contrary, 5890 GCs will be configured with: 120 VAC single phase (5%, -10%), 48 to 60 Hz, 2200 VA max. (requires a 20 amp dedicated line). The GC power cord is a standard 120V single phase, 20amp cord.
Note: For many first time GC owners, the GC will require that the lab install a dedicated line and change the wall receptacle to accept the 20amp plug.
Note: Clean, stable and reliable power is important for protecting your 5890 GC investment and your warranty. For some locations, power conditioners and/or UPS may be necessary!
What are the dimensions and space considerations?
- The approximated 5890 GC dimensions are: 22" x 20" x 28" = W x H x L
- An additional 10" is required behind the instrument to allow the GC to exhaust air during oven cool down
- The 5890 Series II weight is approximately 90 lbs.
What gases are required?
Gas purity should be as pure as available. GC applications usually call for 99.9995% purity. The list of gases below contains generalizations and might vary depending on the analytical method, GC column and other considerations.
- GC-FID: air and hydrogen as flame gasses, helium or hydrogen as a carrier gas
- GC-MSD: helium or hydrogen as a carrier gas
- GC-ECD: nitrogen or argon-methane as make-up, helium or hydrogen as carrier gas
- GC-NPD: air and hydrogen as flame gasses, helium or hydrogen as a carrier gas
- GC-TCD: helium, hydrogen, nitrogen or argon as carrier and make-up (depending on method or column)
- GC-PID: helium or hydrogen as a carrier gas
- GC-PID-FID: air and hydrogen as flame gasses, helium or hydrogen as a carrier gas
- GC-PID-FID: air and hydrogen as flame gasses, helium or hydrogen as a carrier gas
What are the required environmental conditions?
- Operating temperature range: 0 to 55 Degrees C
- Operating relative humidity: 5% to 95%
- Corrosive environments should be avoided
What items and consumables will I need at the time of installation?
Clients need to provide their own two-stage gas regulator for each gas required, on/off valves on each gas line and gas traps for moisture and possibly oxygen are recommended, GC column and any method specific test standards. If requested, AIR can order these item for you and include them during the instrument installation.
If AIR is doing your installation, with the exception of items listed above, we will bring with us all other items necessary (copper tubing, Swagelok, ferrules, test column, tools, etc.) to get the system operating and to demonstrate performance at the time of installation.
