PN 07 4-615 -P1DMicro GC Fusion
Pre-Installation ChecklistCarrier Gas

Carrier gas (e.g., helium, argon) with a purity of 99.999% (or minimum 99.995%
when the appropriate carrier gas trap is installed).
NOTE: A pressurized (>16,547 kPa [>2,400 psi]) 50 liter tank of carrier gas will
last approximately one year.

Dual-stage regulator for pressurized carrier gas tank with outlet pressure
regulated to 400-427 kPa (58-62 psi). A Swagelok 1/8 in. fitting is preferred on
the regulator outlet to connect the carrier gas feed tube to Micro GC Fusion.
NOTE: In North America, use the CGA 580 inlet connection (PN 952-416-P1)
for helium, nitrogen, and argon carrier gas. Use the CGA 350 inlet
connection (PN 952-415-P1) for hydrogen carrier gas. For installations
outside of North America, use the appropriate standard inlet
connections for the region.

CAUTIONCarrier gas inlet (rear of instrument) pressure must be
between 400-427 kPa (58-62 psi). Use a dual-stage regulator on
the carrier gas cylinder to ensure the pressure range ismaintained. Exceeding 427 kPa (62 psi) may damage
Micro GC Fusion and require factory repair.
Moisture/hydrocarbon trap (PN G2870A-01) is required for the carrier gas whenusing Molsieve or Alumina columns.

CAUTIONTo protect Micro GC Fusion and to enhance performance,carrier gas traps should be used to purify the carrier gas
before introduction into Micro GC Fusion.
A hydrocarbon/moisture trap (PN G2870A-01) isrecommended.
Copper or stainless steel tubing (pre-cleaned) 1/8 in. OD for carrier gas
connections between the tank regulator output and Micro GC Fusion carriergas inlet. Micro GC Fusion has up to two 1/8 in. Swagelok male carrier gas
inlet connections.

Micro GC Fusion
Pre-Installation Checklist

NOTE: Included with Micro GC Fusion is 3 m (10 ft.) of pre-cleaned GC grade
copper tubing. Additional copper tubing is available in the installation kit(PN 952-021-G1), or can be ordered in 15 m (50 ft.) lengths(PN 069-0115).

CAUTION
Do not clean copper or stainless steel tubing with solvent.

CAUTION
Do not use Teflon® or Tygon® tubing for carrier gas.
Assortment of male and female Swagelok fittings for regulator, tubing, etc.,
including nuts and front and back ferrules. Typical size is 1/8 in., but adapters for
1/4 in. to 1/8 in. may be needed if 1/4 in. tubing is used.

A 1/8 in. tee fitting and 1/8 in. ball valve, depending on connection requirements.

Calibration Gas
Commercially supplied calibration gas specific to the analysis.
NOTE: Calibration gas must be available at the time of installation.
NOTE: Calibration gas must closely resemble the composition of the actual
process gas.

A regulator, if necessary, to reduce the calibration gas pressure to below
69 kPa (10 psi) at the Micro GC Fusion inlets. The regulator must be clean,grease-free and non-venting.

Copper or stainless steel tubing (pre-cleaned) 1/16 in. OD for calibration andsample gas connections between the tank regulator output and Micro GC Fusion
sample inlet.

NOTE: If the Integrated Sample Conditioner is configured, the standard 1/16 in. sample
inlet is replaced with a 1/8 in. Quick Connect fitting.
NOTE: Checkout gas mixtures are only used for instrument installationand start up.
NOTE: Checkout gas mixtures supplied by INFICON are not calibration gases.

Micro GC Fusion
Pre-Installation Checklist

Sample Gas Pressure Range
CAUTION
Sample gas pressure greater than 172 kPa (25 psi) will damage
Micro GC Fusion.
Maximum pressure for direct sample injection into either the front or rear sample
inlet is 172 kPa (25 psi). The recommended input sample pressure is 69 kPa(10 psi) or lower.

When the Integrated Sample Conditioner is installed, sample pressures up to6,895 kPa (1,000 psi) can be introduced into the front sample inlet. Sample
pressures higher than 6895 kPa (1,000 psi) must be reduced.

When a Gas Liquid Separator (PN 952-022-G1) is installed, only sample
pressures up to 172 kPa (25 psi) can be introduced, even though the Gas LiquidSeparator itself is rated up to 3447 kPa (500 psi). Sample pressures higher than172 kPa (25 psi) must be reduced.

Installation Space and Venting
Installation space required for Micro GC Fusion is an additional 6.5 cm (2.5 in.)to the front, back and sides of the instrument.
Dimensions of 2-module Micro GC Fusion:
46.2 x 19.6 x 25.4 cm (18.2 x 7.7 x 10 in.)Dimensions of 4-module Micro GC Fusion:
47.5 x 43.2 x 27.1 cm (18.7 x 17 x 10.7 in.)

CAUTION
Micro GC Fusion air pathways must remain unobstructed toallow cooling of the analytical column(s) following atemperature programmed method run. Allow a minimum of
6.5 cm (2.5 in.) clearance to the top, the front, the back andboth sides of the instrument to provide unrestricted air flow tothe instrument.
Install Micro GC Fusion in a location with easy access to the instrument andassociated computer.

Micro GC Fusion
Pre-Installation ChecklistFor optimum Micro GC Fusion performance and to dissipate heat, do not restrict
the airflow around Micro GC Fusion.

CAUTION
Ensure the Micro GC Fusion fan exhaust at the back of theinstrument is not blocked and the air flow through the bottomof Micro GC Fusion is unobstructed. Regularly inspect andclean the filter at the bottom of the instrument.

CAUTION
Regularly inspect and clean the filter at the bottom of theinstrument.

WARNING
Safely vent carrier and sample streams-potentially toxic,
noxious, or flammable gases-outside Micro GC Fusion andaway from the operating area. Vent toxic gases to a fume hood,chemical trap, or reaction medium.
Avoid venting Micro GC Fusion into drafty areas, such as in front of aheating/cooling vent.

Power RequirementStandard 100-240 V (ac), 50 to 60 Hz, 5A (minimum) electric outlet for
2-module systems

Standard 100-240V (ac), 50 to 60 Hz, 7A (minimum) electric outlet for
4-module systems

Maximum power for Micro GC Fusion 2-Module instrument: 260 W

Uninterruptible AC power source with surge protection is recommended

Every Micro GC Fusion 2-Module instrument is shipped with a 24 VDC power supply(IPN: 952-403-P1). Always use this power supply to power the instrument.
NOTE: Every 4-module system contains an internal 24 VDC power supply and does notneed the external supply.
