Environmental Requirements
The atmospheric temperature requirement is 5 to 40 C (41 to 104 F),
The temperature should not change by more than 2 C per hour.
Atmospheric humidity should be 20 to 80% m/v for an ambient
temperature between 5 and 30 C and 20 to 60% m/v for an ambient
temperature between 30 and 40 C. Atmospheric conditions must be
non-condensing. The instrument room should be at a positive pressure
with respect to rooms with a corrosive atmosphere.
Electrical
The spectrometer will require an electrical supply at 100 to 240 VAC,
300 VA, 50/60 Hz. The spectrometer will be supplied with a 2 m mains
cord with USA type or Non USA (rest of world) type coding. USA
coding is black (X - ac high), white (Y - ac low), green (G earth/ground). Rest of World coding is blue (neutral), brown (live),
green/yellow (earth/ground).
The furnace power supply unit will require a single phase mains supply
of 200/210/220/230 or 240 VAC, 7.2 kVA, 50/60 Hz (see red label on
furnace power supply for individual voltage setting). In normal
operation the furnace power supply may draw surge currents in excess of
the nominal rating. A dedicated supply should be used which may
require the inclusion of delayed action protection devices such as circuit
breakers or motor start fuses.
The furnace power supply unit should be connected to a supply with an
impedance of 0.124 W or less. It is the responsibility of the user of the
unit to ensure by consultation with the local supply authority if
necessary, that the unit is connected to this type of supply.

Thermo Scientific
Gas Requirements
The spectrometer will use a flame or furnace to provide atoms that are
analyzed to indicate the concentration of an element in an unknown
sample. A flame will use acetylene as the fuel and either air or nitrous
oxide will be required as the oxidant for the flame. A nitrous oxide flame
will also require air to allow the system to stabilize before a nitrous oxide
flame is used.
Care should be taken to ensure that laboratory gas lines are gas tight,
free from oil and grease, and do not contaminate the gases used for the
spectrometer.
Gas cylinders must be stored and operated in a vertical position and in
an environment free from naked lights and sparks. Cylinders should be
left to stabilize overnight before use.
Only the gas tubing supplied with the spectrometer should be used. The
gas tubing supplied will terminate in 3/8 in BSP thread connections.
All gas supplies should be regulated and connected within 1 meter of the
instrument.
A comprehensive Risk Assessment must be carried out that is specific to
the gas requirements.
! WARNING
Turn off the flame before maintenance or adjustment works on the gas
supply system. Steady flow rates at the required pressures (as described
in the following) are important for flame safety.
Acetylene
A flame spectrometer will require acetylene at 0.62 bar (9 psi) with flow
rates of between 0.8 and 5.1 Lmin-1. The purity must be at least 98.5%,
with impurities for sulfur and phosphorus of less than 15 ppm, and
water of less than 100 ppm. The balance of the gas should be inert gas.
The instrument will be supplied with acetylene gas tubing terminating
in 3/8 in BSP Left Hand tighten thread connections.
Black iron is recommended for internal plumbing of acetylene.

! WARNING
! WARNING
If pressures above 0.62 bar (9 psi) acetylene are used in the UK, the
Health and Safety Executive of HM Factory Inspectorate must be
informed and an Exemption Certificate obtained. Local and national
regulations and guidelines must be followed at all installation sites.
Air
The spectrometer requires clean dry compressed air at a steady pressure
at 2.1 bar (30 psi), with a flow up to 10 Lmin-1.

iCE 3000 Series Pre-Installation Requirements Guide (P/N 949950030031, Version 1.5)
Thermo Scientific
! WARNING
Nitrous Oxide
A flame spectrometer may require nitrous oxide gas for some
applications. Nitrous oxide must be supplied at 2.75 bar (40 psi) at a
flow of 8 Lmin-1. Special grade AA nitrous oxide must be used with
oxygen impurities of less than 150 ppm; nitrogen less than 400 ppm;
carbon dioxide of less than 50 ppm; oxides of nitrogen less than 2 ppm;
carbon monoxide less than 1 ppm and water less than 15 ppm. A two
stage regulator is required to provide good precision and stable flame
conditions. It maybe necessary to fit a heater to the regulator to prevent
freezing, which would cause flow rate variations and an unstable flame.

230 V, 50 Hz, 7 A;
or 115 V, 60 Hz, 13 A
The furnace will be supplied with plastic connecting tubing that has a
6.5 mm ID.
Connection to the water chiller should be within 3 meters of the
instrument. If greater distance is required insulated tubing must be used.
The water quality shall be distilled or deionized water of approximately
18 MW/cm3.
Thermo Fisher Scientific does not recommend using normal water since
this can lead to corrosion and malfunction due to deposits of mineral
and organic materials.
If the use of normal water cannot be avoided, at least a suitable fungicide
or biocide should be added to the water.
! WARNING
Waste Storage
The analysis of a sample, by flame atomic absorption, usually involves
production of a fine mist from a liquid sample. Waste will be produced
that could be corrosive and toxic, or an organic solvent. An appropriate
container is required that is solvent proof, shatterproof and vented away
from the instrument. Ensure the waste container does not constitute a
spill or trip hazard.

Thermo Scientific
! WARNING
! CAUTION
Turn off the flame before any adjustment works on the drain system.
The drain tubing and waste vessel must be arranged properly prior to
flame ignition in order to guarantee a safe operation.
The lower end of the drain extension must always be above the level of
the liquid in the drain vessel/waste container! Do not use a glass or
metal drain vessel. The drain extension tube must provide a vertical
free-flowing drain outlet, to prevent formation of any additional Utraps, and must be free of kinks, obstructions and sharp bends. Once
out of the instrument, it must be oriented straight down in a vertical
position.

Dust, acid and organic vapors must be excluded from the work area.
The warranty will be void if the equipment is operated in substandard
conditions.
When working with N2O, the flame may become extremely tall and
reach into the fume extraction hood. Be sure to meet the requirements
for the fume extraction system described in this manual.
A flame can generate between 3 and 5 kW with temperatures up to
3000 C. The fumes from the flame, which may be corrosive and toxic,
are discharged from the instrument chimney during operation. To
ensure a safe working environment and safe removal of waste
combustion products an effective extraction system must be installed.
This must include appropriate filtering of hazardous toxic fumes.
No compounds that may form acetylides must be in contact with
exhaust fumes.
The exhaust system must fulfill the following requirements:
Over the flame
5-12
The hood of the extraction system over the flame must have a
circular cross section of at least 250 mm (10 in), the tubing at least
150 mm (6 in).
The hood and the first meters of the duct become hot, especially
when working with N2O-Flame. We recommend marking the hood
over the spectrometer with a hot surface marking.
iCE 3000 Series Pre-Installation Requirements Guide (P/N 949950030031, Version 1.5)
Thermo Scientific
A flow rate of at least 2800 L min-1 (100 ft3/min) through the duct
over the flame must be ensured.
The minimum flow rate through the ducting over the flame must be
ensured. This is important especially for installations, where
multiple tubes end up into a single fan.
The hood over the furnace must extract at least 200 L min-1.
Suitable extraction must also be used for the EC100 if used instead
of a flame and in particular for the Mercury-Cell (toxic fumes) used
with no flame or EC100. For details, refer to the operating manual.
! WARNING
Hot Surface. Danger of burning. Do not touch the hood or the tubing
over the flame of the Spectrometer while the flame is on or directly
after extinction of the flame.
