Electrical requirements
| Total Current. | Peak VA (minimum value of UPS) | |
| 220/240 Volt systems | 1.6 A | 700 VA |
| 110 Volt Systems | 3.2 A | 700 VA |
Gas requirements
Compressed gas supply, usually nitrogen or air, delivered to the system at between 8 and 9 bar. (124 to 140 psi). The system will be delivered with suitable, 1/4 inch ID, high pressure tubing to connect the regulator to the Sample Handling Unit.
This gas supply is used to drive the sample handling unit drive rams. In systems fitted with ozone producing xenon lamps, part of the gas supply is bled of to purge the lamp housing. In this instance the gas supply must be nitrogen.
Thermostating
If there is a requirement for temperature control of the sample handling unit then a circulating thermostat bath and tubing must be available. The tubing that connects to the sample handling unit should have an internal diameter of 8mm.
