Dedicated mother board in-build RS232 port, USB connection minimum 4 nos., 2 GB RAM, 19” VGA Monitor.

Room Condition:
AC must require. Lab temperature must be 22-25 ˚C. The temperature should not change by more than 2 ˚C per
hour. Atmospheric humidity should be 20 to 60% Rh for an ambient temperature between 22 and 25°C.
Atmospheric conditions must be non-condensing. Make sure that the working surface is sufficiently rigid to prevent
vibration as this may affect the optical alignment of the spectrometer and accessories.

Power required for AAS system with accessories:

iCE 3500: The spectrometer will require single phase electrical supply of 230V AC, 300VA, 50Hz.
GF 35: The Furnace will required single phase main supply 230V AC, 7.2 kVA, 50Hz.
GF 35Z: If Zeeman Furnace is used. Then required additional single phase main supply 230V AC, 1.5 kVA, 50Hz.
So for GF35Z total power required 8.7kVA power.
VP 100: Vapour Generator will require single phase electrical supply of 230V AC, 125VA, 50Hz.
ID 100: Inline dilutor will require single phase electrical supply of 230V AC, 100 VA, 50Hz.

ASX-520/560: Autosampler will require single phase electrical supply of 230V AC, 200 VA, 50Hz.

UPS Requirement:
For AAS without Graphite Furnace: It is advisable to use UPS system for instrument with accessories. The kVA rating
minimum 3 kVA or above double conversion IGBT based True Online UPS with built-in Isolation Transformer on the
Inverter output (Single phase in put & single phase out put). Double pole 64 amp MCB is required for input to the
UPS. Minimum 30 minute backup.

For AAS with Zeeman Graphite Furnace: It is advisable to use UPS system for instrument with accessories. The kVA
rating minimum 15 kVA of 3 phase double conversion IGBT based True Online UPS with built-in Isolation
Transformer on the Inverter output (three phase input & single phase output). Double pole 64 amp MCB is required
for input to the UPS. Minimum 30 minute backup.
Power distribution point’s requirement (UPS output supply single phase through double pole 64 amp MCB):

For AAS 15/5 A combined 1 no

VP100 15/5 A combined 1 no
GF 35 32A Double pole MCB 1 no
GF 35Z 32A Double pole MCB 1 no
 For GF 35Zeeman 15/5 A combined 1 no
Air compressor 15/5 A combined 1 no
Exhaust Hood 15/5 A combined 1 no
Nitrous oxide heater 15/5 A combined 1 no
Computer & printer 15/5 A combined 3 nos
Additional point 15/5 A combined 2 nos
Make sure that each electrical outlet has an effective earth/ground (voltage between neutral & earth
should be less than 2V AC) connection capable of carrying 30A.

Location:
The instruments are designed for use on a normal laboratory bench. Ideally the instrument should be placed on a
moveable bench with 0.5 meters of access behind the instrument is mandatory.
