tecnica che, comunque, non dovrà essere inferiore a mesi 24 (ventiquattro), assumendosi l’obbligo di
ripararle o sostituirle senza alcun addebito.
ART. 13
SERVIZIO DI MANUTENZIONE IN GARANZIA
Il servizio di manutenzione in garanzia, compreso nel prezzo complessivo d’offerta e della durata pari al

di aggiudicazione, fino ad un massimo di un decimo del corrispettivo della fornitura medesima.
Detta penale verrà applicata sulla liquidazione finale senza preavviso alcuno.
Decorsi ulteriori venti giorni di calendario dalla predetta scadenza, senza che sia stata effettuata la consegna
del materiale, l’Amministrazione potrà dichiarare decaduta la Ditta affidataria e la stessa non potrà avanzare
pretese di sorta.

● In the example installation given in Figure 1, only the LCMS-IT-TOF unit itself is shown arranged on a
special table of width 180 cm, a depth of 80 cm, and a height of 70 to 80 cm. A separate PC and LC
system desk are necessary, and in the example given another table like the one used to carry the
LCMS-IT-TOF unit has been prepared (making a total of 2 desks), with the additional equipment placed
on it.
● As the LCMS-IT-TOF unit weighs 280 kg, prepare a table that is able to stand load capacities of 300 kg in
weight or more. The table with castors is useful for carrying the unit into the room.
● An additional space of 60cm or more is needed behind and to the right-hand side of the mass
spectrometer (MS). A further space of 60cm or more is needed to the left of the MS apparatus to allow
sufficient space for maintenance. Place equipment that can be readily moved, such as the PCs or LC
systems given in the example, to the left of the MS unit, and ensure a space of 60cm or more between
the MS unit and walls or other immovable objects. Please also maintain a space of 5cm or more between
the left side of the MS unit and the LC system.
- Space behind MS unit
: 60 cm or more
- Space to right of MS unit
: 60 cm or more
- Space between MS unit left-hand side and LC system : 5 cm or more
- Maintenance space to left of MS unit
: 60 cm or more
● Place rotary pump on a firm floor surface at a distance where it can be connected to the MS unit by
attached piping. (Extending piping to a distance greater than this will prevent assurance of unit
performance.) Ensure a distance of 60 cm or more between the back of the table and the wall, as the
rotary pump will be placed on the floor behind the table.

Humidity:
Install location:
Miscellaneous:
40 – 70% (no condensation)
Use a room able to bear load capacities with an installation area of approximately 4.6 m × 2.7 m.
- Room should be free from dust.
The unit contains a high internal voltage and dust may lead to electrical discharge or faults.
Furthermore, dust accumulating in the fan (filter) may lead to overheating of the unit.
- Avoidance of disturbing factors such as vibration, electromagnetic noise, or corrosive gases, is
necessary for maintaining a high level of performance.
- Use in a well-ventilated room as the LCMS-IT-TOF makes use of flammable and/or toxic solvents.
Never use an open flame or smoke in the same area.
- Wash immediately if solvent gets into eyes or if contact is made with toxic solvents.
Locate sinks in nearest location possible.
- Set up an exhaust duct to avoid direct emission of oil mist, solvents and samples into the room.
- Follow the precautions given in the Safety Precautions of the instruction manual that came
with the unit.
*) This unit is intended for precision measurement. Sufficient consideration must be given to preparing its
installation environment as a given level of performance cannot be guaranteed if installation conditions are
not met.
4. Required power supply
● For safety reasons use a power supply equipped with a ground fault interrupter.
● The MS unit uses AC230V, 20A, 50/60Hz (single phase). Avoid sharing power source with other
equipment.
● LC and PC power capacity will vary depending on the system’s configuration. Connect to a power supply
equipped with a short circuit breaker of a specified capacity so that unit will not exceed power supply
capacity.
● To avoid electric shock, ensure grounding at power supply ground terminal has a resistance of 100 ohm
or less.
● To assure performance, keep voltage fluctuation within ±5% and frequency stability within ±0.5 Hz.
If power supplies of the above specifications are not available, alterations to room power supply
capacity will be necessary.

5. Gas
Nitrogen gas (N2) and argon gas (Ar) are used for LCMS-IT-TOF. Purities and pressures for each gas are as follows:

5-1. Nitrogen gas
Nitrogen gas can be supplied from a nitrogen gas generator, nitrogen gas cylinder, or generated from liquid nitrogen or
similar source. As the LCMS-IT-TOF unit uses a large amount of nitrogen gas we recommend that you use a nitrogen
gas generator. Optional piping parts for nitrogen gas cylinders or liquid nitrogen are available.
Please note that operating hours may be shortened depending on the flow rate of the drying gas if using a nitrogen gas
cylinder. As an approximate standard, assuming a 47L cylinder releasing the gas at a maximum flow rate, this single
cylinder would sustain the flow for approximately 5 hours.
Furthermore, as the flow rate of drying gas is large, gas pressure may be smaller than expected if gas supply pipings
are long as in the case of centered gas supplies. Please take care with gas supply pipings and pipe inner diameters as
this may prevent normal control of the gas. ( Pressure must be kept more than 690kPa when 15L/min flow. )
5-1 (a). If supplying gas generated from liquid nitrogen
Take adequate precautions with pipe resistance and other factors as sufficient secondary pressure cannot be
obtained when using nitrogen gas generated from liquid nitrogen.
Prepare a PTFE pipe with an outer diameter of 6mm and an inner diameter of 4mm or larger.
5-1 (b). If using a nitrogen gas cylinder
Prepare the following pressure regulator and pipes given below, or equivalent products, if using a nitrogen gas
cylinder.

Precautions when using high pressure gas cylinder
General precautions when using gas cylinders
1.
Place gas cylinder outside in a well-ventilated location out of direct sunlight. Introduce the gas
indoors via piping.
2.
Do not allow the gas cylinder to reach a temperature of 40°C or more at any time. Do not allow any
open flame to come within 2m of the cylinder.
3.
When using high pressure gas pay sufficient attention to ventilation and use soapy water or other
methods to check for leaks before starting work. When using flammable gases, in particular, do not
smoke or allow open flames within 5m of the equipment that uses the gas. Have a usable fire
extinguisher ready.
4
ZEBV-5035
4.
Secure cylinder with rope or other material to prevent it overturning or falling.
5.
Use oil-less pressure release valve. Do not use valves that oil has adhered to within piping that
comes into contact with gas, or in other areas.
6.
Immediately shut off cylinder source valve when finished using gas.
* Remarks
● Please consult with Shimadzu prior to using nitrogen gas generators, other than those that are recommended, as
the inlet joints for the gas pipe and the LCMS-IT-TOF nitrogen gas pipe may not match.
● If using a cylinder, please use 5m or shorter pipes in general carrier gas piping.
If gas supply lines are long, the prescribed gas pressure may not be supplied to the LCMS-IT-TOF unit due to pipe
resistance. It is furthermore necessary to raise the cylinder’s secondary pressure higher than the prescribed
pressure so as to ensure prescribed pressure for the LCMS-IT-TOF.
● Take care when supplying gas by centered gas supply as other instruments being used may be affected by the
amount of gas supplied.
5-1 (c). If pre-existing nitrogen gas generator is used (If using LC/MS manufactured by another company)
If the diameter of pipes leading to the LC/MS is 1/4 inch when using an existing nitrogen generator, please use the
following adaptor.

5-2. Argon gas
Use an argon gas cylinder to supply argon gas.
Only a trace amount of argon gas is used (maximum consumption 5mL/min). As an approximate standard, and
assuming a 3L cylinder with a maximum flow rate, a single cylinder will last for approximately 2 months. Gas pressure
may be smaller than expected if gas supply pipings are long. Please take care with gas supply piping length and pipe
inner diameter as this may prevent normal control of the gas.
Prepare the following pressure regulator and pipes given below, or equivalent products, if using an argon gas cylinder.

6. Exhaust (rotary pump exhaust gas, solvent vapor)
The unit emits exhaust gas from the rotary pump and vapor from mobile phase solvents.
Long-term inhalation of these is very harmful to the health.
In order to keep the site clean, it is necessary to direct these gases to a draft chamber or other such exhaust
facility.
Five-meter exhaust hoses are supplied with the unit for rotary pump and drain container discharge.
Hoses from the rotary pump and the drain container must be separately connected to exhaust ducts.
A typical draft chamber can be used.

More information on each of the requirements is available at the
following topics:
• “Unpacking and Installing the System” on page 2-2
• “Hallways and Doors” on page 2-2
• “Floor Space” on page 2-3
• “Floor Conditions” on page 2-4
• “Environmental Requirements” on page 2-6
Site Requirements
Unpacking and Installing the System
2-2 DELTA V Advantage/DELTA V Plus Preinstallation Requirements Guide Thermo Electron Corporation
Unpacking and
Installing the System
It is the policy of Thermo Electron that the customer should not unpack
the system or accessory items prior to installation of the system. Two
exceptions to this policy are the following ones:
• You are encouraged to locate the Operating Manual and to
begin to become familiar with the operation of the instrument.
• Where buck/boost transformers or power conditioning units are
supplied, it is the customers responsibility to have these units
installed by an electrician prior to instrument installation.
Note DELTA V Advantage/DELTA V Plus comes on wheels, which can
be extended. Nevertheless, a forklift and/or a palette-jack will be of great
benefit for unpacking and in-house transportation of the instrument’s
components.
When your DELTA V Advantage/DELTAV Plus is on site and ready
for installation, a Thermo Electron Service Engineer will install it.
During the installation, the Service Engineer will demonstrate the
following:
• The basics of equipment operation and routine maintenance
• The marketing specifications that are in force at the time of the
purchase of the system as specified in the agreement.
Note Consumables sent with the system are intended for use by the
Service Engineer during installation. It is the responsibility of the
customer to replace any consumables used during installation.
Experience has shown that the maximum benefit can be derived from a
scientific instrument, if there is one person, a key operator, who has
major responsibility for that instrument. It is recommended that you
designate a key operator to oversee operation and maintenance of the
system in your laboratory. He/she will also be the key figure in the
communication between your laboratory and Thermo Electron.
Note Do not use your new system for sample analysis until installation is
complete and the Acceptance Form has been signed.
Hallways and Doors In order to move the instrument into the laboratory, the
whole way
from the loading dock to the desired place (including the entrance to
your facility, the width of all hallways, doors, elevators, etc.) should be
wide enough for the instrument. For dimensions of the largest part
during transportation inside the building, refer to Figure 2-5 on
page 2-5.
Site Requirements
Floor Space
Thermo Electron Corporation DELTA V Advantage/DELTA V Plus Preinstallation Requirements Guide 2-3
In addition, consider additional room to allow maneuvering of the
system around corners and/or through doors. Elevators and hallways
should be able to take the load. For weight information, refer to “Floor
Conditions” on page 2-4.
Floor Space The dimensions of the instrument and the minimum floor space
required for its installation and operation are given in Figure 2-1 to
Figure 2-4.
To ensure that operating personnel are easily able to carry out their work
(e.g. at the rear panel of the IRMS) and to facilitate heat dissipation, we
recommend to select room dimensions considerably larger than the
minimum dimensions given in Figure 2-1 to Figure 2-4. The minimum
width necessary to transport the unpacked instrument to the installation
site is 0.9 m (36 in).
As the IRMS is supported with rolls, one can easily pull it out to the
nearest hallway to perform the service operation there. Afterwards,
simply push it back to its original place.

Fiber Optics Data
Cable
The fiber optics data cable connecting your computer to the fiber optics
connectors at the rear panel of your IRMS is about 6 m long. This
allows you to place the computer even on a desk outside the direct
vicinity of the IRMS. For specific space requirements of your peripheral
options, refer to “Options” on page 5-1.
Floor Conditions The floor must be level and must be sufficient to carry the
instrument's
weight of approximately 300 kg (660 lb). It should be free from shock
and vibrations.
Your DELTAV Advantage/DELTA V Plus is shipped in several boxes.
The largest of them has the approximate dimensions of
120 cm*80 cm*130 cm (l*w*h). The box containing the basic unit
approximately weighs 300 kg (660 lb). See Figure 2-5.

Environmental
Requirements
Attention to the operating environment will ensure the continued high
performance of your system and help protect your investment. Any
expenditures for air conditioning and power supply are normally more
than offset by good throughput and reduced repair costs.
Once the laboratory environment has been properly adjusted, it is still
important to observe some fundamental maintenance principles: make
sure panels having air intakes are not obstructed. Air must be allowed to
circulate freely in the electronics cabinet. Pumps should be serviced
regularly as described in the system's or manufacturer’s Operating
Manual.
Room Temperature Laboratory temperature must be within the specified limits.
Operating
at temperatures above those recommended may cause premature failure
of transistors and integrated circuits. The maximum permissible
ambient temperature of the instrument is 28 °C (82 °F).
Note Heat dissipation of the instrument must be considered in
accordance with the power requirements (also for peripherals). See
“Power Consumption” on page 3-2 and “Summary of Technical Data”
on page 5-1.
Large temperature fluctuations, that is fluctuations caused mainly by air
conditioning or draft (only secondarily by direct sunlight), should be
avoided while measuring. Temperature changes greater than 1 °C/h
should be avoided during measurement.
Humidity Note The relative humidity should be between 20 % and 70 %. In no
case should the humidity be higher than 70 % to avoid high ohmic
insulator breakdown.
Operating the system or maintaining it in an operational condition
outside the specified limits may cause many types of failures. Their
repair is specifically excluded from our standard warranty and service
contract coverage.
Operating at very low humidity will cause problems due to
accumulation and discharge of static electricity. Operating at high
humidity may cause condensation with associated short circuits.
Air Purity Air must be free of smoke, dust, particulate matter and aggressive
vapors.
Site Requirements
Environmental Requirements
Thermo Electron Corporation DELTA V Advantage/DELTA V Plus Preinstallation Requirements Guide 2-7
Air Conditioning We recommend to install an air conditioner, if the specified limits will
be exceeded due to unfavorable climatic conditions.
Preferably, the air conditioner should be equipped with a flow controller
valve and PID microprocessor control (available e.g. from Landis &
Gyr, Polygyr RWX, see www.landisgyr.com). This ensures temperature
drifts within the limits given above.
When planning air conditioning, take into consideration the heat
dissipated by the instrument during normal operation. Air conditioning
must be capable of maintaining a constant temperature (within operable
limits) in the immediate vicinity of the instrument.
Note The considerable short-term variations in temperature caused at
the air-outlet of mainly newer air conditionings are much more
problematic than long-term variations. As considerable temperature
differences may exist between adjacent air-conditioned rooms, never
place the IRMS near to such a connecting door. The system must never
be exposed to air draft!
Lighting Good lighting makes an area more enjoyable to work in. Since a lot of
work is done on the computer terminal, it may be convenient to have a
dimmer switch on the lights to reduce eyestrain. A small lamp for source
inspection and manipulation of small components is recommended.
Exhaust Fumes The exhaust port of the rotary pump should be connected to an exhaust
gas line leading out of the building. The inner diameter of the pipe
should be at least 1.5 cm.
Electromagnetic Fields The instrument site must be free of interfering electromagnetic
fields.
The maximum acceptable field amplitude (AC) for any frequency is
5*10-6 T (50 mG).
Note Sources of disturbing fields are e.g. other analytical instruments
(e.g. NMR systems or other mass spectrometers); train, tram, subway;
power cables crossing the ceiling; large electric motors (elevators); radio
stations nearby
Thermo Electron Corporation DELTA V Advantage/DELTA V Plus Preinstallation Requirements Guide 3-1
Chapter 3 Electrical
Power
It is the responsibility of the purchaser to provide a laboratory power
supply of acceptable quality and a suitable operating environment for
the instrument.
More information on each of the requirements is available at the
following topics:
• “Electrical Power Specification” on page 3-2
• “Power Consumption” on page 3-2
• “Power Cables, Connectors” on page 3-2
• “Location of Wall Outlets (Power)” on page 3-2
• “Power Quality” on page 3-3

• “Technical Assistance” on page 3-5
• “Delta-to-Y Conversion Transformer” on page 3-6
Electrical Power
Electrical Power Specification
3-2 DELTA V Advantage/DELTA V Plus Preinstallation Requirements Guide Thermo Electron Corporation
Electrical Power
Specification
DELTA V Advantage/DELTA V Plus is designed to operate at a
nominal voltage of 230 Vac; 50/60 Hz. The basic power requirements
for a DELTA V Advantage/DELTAV Plus are as follows:
• Nominal voltage 230/400 V ± 10 %; 50 or 60 Hz ac
• Three phases, 5-wire system in Y configuration (neutral wire
connected to earth). For further information, refer to
Figure 3-1.
• Each phase is fused with 16 A.
Single-Phase Wall Outlets
for Options
• nominal voltage 230 V ± 10 %; 50 or 60 Hz ac.
• fused with 10 A or 16 A
Note Four IEC power sockets (nominal voltage 230 Vac, fused with
totally 10 A) plus one IEC power socket (nominal voltage 230 Vac,
fused with 16 A) are installed in DELTAV Advantage/DELTA V Plus
to be used to connect the peripheral options. Therefore, wall outlets are
not necessary for them. See also “Power Cables, Connectors” on
page 3-2.
Consider different voltages in other countries (e.g. 110 Vac). Check
them with your local officials and/or your local Thermo Electron office.
Power Consumption Power consumption of DELTAV Advantage/DELTAV Plus is
about
1.2 kW in normal operation. For power consumption of the installed
peripherals, refer to “Options” on page 5-1.
Power Cables,
Connectors
DELTA V Advantage/DELTA V Plus must have a separate “clean” line
leading to a main fuse to guarantee disturbance-free operation. The
length of the supplied power cable is approximately 3 m (9.8 ft).
Note Additional devices like recirculating chillers or compressors must
not be connected to the instrument. Use a wall outlet instead.
Recirculation chillers or compressors can be noisy, and they blow warm
air into the room. Install those devices outside the laboratory.
Location of Wall
Outlets (Power)
The electrical wall outlet for the main power of DELTAV Advantage/
DELTA V Plus should be located at the wall behind the intended
location of the instrument. See “Electrical Power Specification” on
page 3-2.
Electrical Power
Power Quality
Thermo Electron Corporation DELTA V Advantage/DELTA V Plus Preinstallation Requirements Guide 3-3
Location of Auxiliary Wall
Outlets
At the rear panel of the IRMS, we provide five (four plus one) IEC
power sockets. We recommend to use them to connect peripherals, a
computer or test equipment to the IRMS. They guarantee an adequate,
undisturbed power supply of the connected devices.
Therefore, in most cases, no additional single-phase 230 Vac (or
110 Vac) outlets are needed for peripherals, a computer or test
equipment such as compressor or water chillers, etc.
Note If nevertheless single-phase auxiliary wall outlets are necessary, they
should use the same ground as power line of the instrument.
Power Quality The power quality supplied to your DELTA V Advantage/DELTAV
Plus is very important and must be established in your laboratory prior
to installing it. The line voltage must be stable and within the
specifications listed in this Preinstallation Requirements Guide. It must
be free of fluctuations due to slow changes in the average voltage, surges,
sags, or transients:
• Constant high or elevated line voltage, impulses or voltage
surges can cause overheating and component failures.
• Constant low or too low line voltage or voltage sags can cause the
system to function erratically or not at all.
• Transients, even of a few microseconds duration, can cause
electronic devices to fail catastrophically or to degrade and
eventually shorten the lifetime of your system.
In addition, the voltage between ground and neutral should not exceed
1 V. See Figure 3-1. Notice the definitions for the most common voltage
disturbances below:
• Slow average is a gradual, long-term change in average root
mean square (RMS) voltage level, with typical durations greater
than 2 s.
• Sags and surges are sudden changes in average RMS voltage
level, with typical durations between 50 µs and 2 s.
• Transients (or impulses) are brief voltage excursions of up to
several thousand volts with durations of less than 50 µs.
Dysfunctional power conditions can be corrected by installing a new
“clean” line or by using filter transformers or power conditioners. You
can arrange with your Thermo Electron service representative to have
the quality of your line voltage checked. He will recommend any
necessary action.
Electrical Power
Power Conditioning Devices
3-4 DELTA V Advantage/DELTA V Plus Preinstallation Requirements Guide Thermo Electron Corporation
Power Monitoring
Devices
Line regulation equipment may be purchased from Thermo Electron or
from an appropriate vendor. A 24-hour power supply is necessary to
assure proper instrument function.
A variety of devices are available to monitor the quality of your line
power. The power line disturbance analyzers are capable of detecting
and recording most types of power supply problems. These instruments
provide a continuous record of line performance by analyzing and
printing out information on three types of voltage disturbances:
• slow average
• sag and surge
• transient
In the first two cases, the duration as well as the amplitude of the
disturbance are indicated by time interval recording.
The power line must be monitored continuously for seven consecutive
days, 24 h a day. If inspection of the printout indicates disturbances, the
test should be terminated and corrective action taken. Then, the power
should be monitored again as described above.
Renting Line Monitors Line monitors can be rented from electrical equipment suppliers. See
“Technical Assistance” on page 3-5. If necessary, your local
Thermo Electron office can assist in interpretation of the results and
recommend appropriate corrective measures.
Power Conditioning
Devices
Various line voltage conditioning devices are available that can correct
your line voltage problem. If you have good regulation but the power
line disturbance analyzer shows transient voltages, an isolation/noise
suppression transformer should be adequate to resolve the problem. If
there are both transient and regulation problems, then power
conditioners, which can control both of these problems, should be
considered.
When nominal voltage is free from voltage sags, surges and impulses but
more than ± 10 % outside the required 230 V, the supply voltage can be
lowered (bucked) or raised (boosted) using a buck/boost transformer.
Buck/boost transformers are also available at Thermo Electron. Your
electrician should install the buck/boost transformer before the
installation of your system is started.
Note For compliance and safety, ensure that your power conditioning
devices are certified by recognized domestic and international
organizations, such as, UL, CSA, TUV, VDE, etc.
Electrical Power
Uninterruptible Power Supply
Thermo Electron Corporation DELTA V Advantage/DELTA V Plus Preinstallation Requirements Guide 3-5
Uninterruptible
Power Supply
If your local area is susceptible to corrupted power or power disruptions,
then an uninterruptible power supply (UPS) should be installed in your
laboratory.
Technical Assistance Occasionally, Thermo Electron encounters line-voltage
sources of
unacceptable quality that adversely affect the operation of the mass
spectrometer. Rectifying such power-supply problems is the user’s
responsibility. However, upon request, Thermo Electron will attempt to
assist in diagnosis, but does not undertake to isolate and correct
power-supply quality problems.
Contact your Thermo Electron office for assistance in monitoring the
line voltage in your laboratory, in selecting a line conditioner or in
locating a power consultant in your area.
Specifying power conditioning equipment is a complex task that is best
handled by a company or consultant specializing in that field. A

Possible Damage
during Transport
DELTA V Advantage/DELTAV Plus instruments are transported either
by carriers specialized in handling delicate machinery, or for long
distance shipment by airfreight. Occasionally however, equipment
inadvertently may be damaged in transit.
Take the following precautions when receiving material:
• Carefully check for obvious damage or evidence of rough handling.
• If external damage is apparent, take photographs, note this fact on all
copies of the receiving documents and briefly describe the extent of the
damage. The driver should sign (or initial) next to your comments to
signify agreement with your observations.
• Contact the appropriate local Thermo Electron office to report the
damage and let the Thermo Electron people check for further damage.
Note Freight insurance requires that obvious damage be noted on the
receiving documents. Thermo Electron will not accept liability for
damage if materials are received with obvious damage and the damage is
not recorded on the receiving documents.
When your system arrives, move it to a protected location indoors. If
you have questions about moving your system, contact your local
Thermo Electron Office. Telephone and fax numbers of the offices are
listed in the beginning of this Preinstallation Requirements Guide.
Transportation Risk Transportation risk depends on the terms of delivery agreed. The
terms
of shipment determine who has responsability for asserting a claim
against the carrier, if the system is damaged in transit.
