La Ditta affidataria resta obbligata a dare esecuzione all’ordine, mantenendo lo stesso prezzo e condizioni praticate nell’offerta, senza che per questo la stessa possa trarne motivi per avanzare pretese e/o indennizzi di qualsiasi natura. ART. 9 LUOGO DELLA FORNITURA La fornitura dovrà essere effettuata presso i locali destinatari delle attrezzature, o presso altro locale che verrà indicato dall’Amministrazione nella nota di affidamento. ART. 10 INVARIABILITÀ DEI PREZZI I prezzi offerti e le altre condizioni contrattuali si intendono fissi, impegnativi e invariabili, anche per il caso di forza maggiore, per tutta la durata della fornitura. Detti prezzi - comprensivi di tutte le spese, oneri e obblighi previsti nella lettera invito e nel presente Capitolato d’Oneri - si intendono offerti per merce resa regolarmente imballata, franca di ogni spesa ed installata presso i locali destinatari delle attrezzature o presso altro locale che verrà indicato dall’Amministrazione nella nota di affidamento. ART. 11 CERTIFICATO DI COLLAUDO O DI REGOLARE FORNITURA Il collaudo dei materiali di cui alla presente fornitura in economia sarà effettuato entro 5 giorni dal completamento della fornitura, certificato con apposito verbale. L’esito favorevole del collaudo non esonera la ditta da vizi o difetti non riscontrati durante le operazioni di collaudo. Qualora nell'accertamento risultasse la necessità di provvedere alla sostituzione parziale o totale della merce pervenuta danneggiata e/o resa inservibile durante il trasporto, la Ditta dovrà effettuare la sostituzione del materiale, nel più breve tempo possibile; tale periodo verrà considerato - agli effetti di eventuali ritardi come tempo impiegato per la fornitura. ART. 12 GARANZIA La Ditta affidataria dovrà garantire le attrezzature fornite per tutto il periodo che sarà indicato nell’offerta tecnica che, comunque, non dovrà essere inferiore a mesi 24 (ventiquattro), assumendosi l’obbligo di ripararle o sostituirle senza alcun addebito.

Item number 1 2 3 4 5 6 1 ZEBV-5035 ● 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. [Reference] Table with casters 3. Ambient requirements (for installation) Temperature: Constant temperature of 18° to 28° C (at all times, both day and night) Please ensure temperature does not fluctuate during the day or night. This will ensure maintenance of unit precision. Place unit away from direct sunlight and in a location where it will not come into direct contact with airflows from air conditioners.

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. dia 10 Black Black … … Connects to AC line White … … Connects to AC line dia 5.3 Yellow / green … Ground Cable length 10m White キ / ミド Yellow / green 27mm Fig. 2 Configuration of power supply cable connection-terminals for MS (requires connection to breaker circuit or 3-point power plug) 3 ZEBV-5035 5. Gas Nitrogen gas (N2) and argon gas (Ar) are used for LCMS-IT-TOF. Purities and pressures for each gas are as follows: Table 3. Gas purities and pressures Gas Pressure supplied to Gas supply pipe material Type Purity MS unit and outer diameter Nitrogen gas (N2) 99% or greater 690 – 800 kPa PTFE 6mm or Metal 3mm Argon gas (Ar) 99.99% or greater 200 – 500 kPa Metal 3mm 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. <Pressure regulator> Koike Sanso Kogyo Co., Ltd. Model: PPR-N2 P/N: 221-35999-01* *The number 221-35999-01 refers to the Shimadzu Corporation part number. <Piping between pressure regulator and LCMS-IT-TOF> The following gas supply tubes are available from Shimadzu. Please specify when ordering. Part number Description 225-09933-91 Gas supply tube, external length 5 m 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. <Union> Half Union KQ2H07-M5 (P/N: 035-60725-07*) 1pc * The number 035-60725-07 refers to Shimadzu Corporation part number.

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. <Pressure regulator> Koike Sanso Kogyo Co., Ltd.

For precautions regarding the handling of high-pressure gas, please refer to the above 5-1 (c), If using a nitrogen 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. [Example:] Draft chamber: 20m3/min.

The information in this Preinstallation Requirements Guide will help you to prepare a proper site for the installation of your DELTA V Advantage/DELTAV Plus IRMS system. Some information in this guidebook refers to the continental USA exclusively. Assurances and specifications may differ in other locations. Specific details are available from the local Thermo Electron offices and Dealers. Refer to“Read This First” on page i-i. Note Systems made by Thermo Electron Bremen are designed to operate reliably under controlled environmental conditions. Operating a system outside of the operating environment limits listed below might cause failures of many types. The repair of such failures is specifically excluded from the standard warranty and service contract coverage. Note For additional information, request specific preinstallation support directly through your local Thermo Electron office or your local dealer. Note All specified values in this Preinstallation Requirements Guide may change according to law and quality standards. Advanced Training Courses Thermo Electron provides both introductory and advanced training courses in analytical techniques, together with specialized operation and maintenance courses for Thermo Electron products. It is also recommended that some months after your DELTAV Advantage/DELTAV Plus system has been installed, the key operator gets an advanced training for operation and maintenance of the system from Thermo Electron. After this training, the key operator can conduct an in-house training program on your site for your own people and certify others to operate the instrument. Introduction Preventive Maintenance 1-2 DELTA V Advantage/DELTA V Plus Preinstallation Requirements Guide Thermo Electron Corporation For information concerning course schedules and fees, contact the following address or your local Thermo Electron office: Preventive Maintenance Routine and preventive maintenance of DELTA V Advantage/ DELTA V Plus IRMS detector and data system is in the user’s responsibility. Included in this category is exchange of pump oil, replacement of filters, etc. on a regular basis. Refer also to the manufacturer’s manuals delivered with the instrument (especially for maintenance of mechanical pumps and turbopumps). Regular preventative maintenance is essential. It will increase the life of the system, result in maximum uptime of your system, and provide you with optimum system performance. Maintenance techniques are covered in the following manuals: • DELTA V Advantage/DELTA V Plus Operating Manual • Manuals coming with your DELTA V Advantage/DELTAV Plus computer and other modules of your system Thermo Electron (Bremen) GmbH Advanced Mass Spectrometry Hanna-Kunath-Str. 11 28199 Bremen Germany Marketing Assistant Phone: +49 (0) 421 - 54 93 367 Fax: +49 (0) 421 - 54 93 426 E-mail: [email protected] Thermo Electron Corporation DELTA V Advantage/DELTA V Plus Preinstallation Requirements Guide 2-1 Chapter 2 Site Requirements 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. Figure 2-1. Space Requirements of IRMS and Peripherals Table - I Figure 2-2. Space Requirements of IRMS and Peripherals Table - II 920 1200 810 920 780 Site Requirements Fiber Optics Data Cable 2-4 DELTA V Advantage/DELTA V Plus Preinstallation Requirements Guide Thermo Electron Corporation 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. Figure 2-3. Space Requirements of IRMS - Side View I Figure 2-4.

DELTA V Advantage/DELTA V Plus - Front View Site Requirements Environmental Requirements 2-6 DELTA V Advantage/DELTA V Plus Preinstallation Requirements Guide Thermo Electron Corporation 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 • “Power Conditioning Devices” on page 3-4 • “Uninterruptible Power Supply” on page 3-5 • “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.

Thermo Electron Corporation DELTA V Advantage/DELTA V Plus Preinstallation Requirements Guide 6-1 Chapter 6 Instrument Arrival When your lab site preparation is completed and the system has been delivered, call your local Thermo Electron service organization to arrange for an installation date. Telephone and fax numbers for Thermo Electron offices are listed in the beginning of this Preinstallation Requirements Guide. 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.
