Installing the GC
This section contains installation procedures for the Agilent
Intuvo 9000 GC. Some of the steps in this procedure are
optional based on your installed components, such as plumbing
cryogenic cooling or valve actuator air.
Instructions for connecting cables from the GC to other
instruments in a typical Intuvo 9000 system are included here
and in Appendix B, “Cable Diagrams."

1Installing the GC
Overview of Installation
Before installing the GC, read the important safety information
in the Agilent Intuvo 9000 Gas Chromatograph Safety
Information manual (provided with the GC) and the Safety
manual (available from the Agilent GC and GC/MS User
Manuals & Tools DVDs).
Purpose of this procedure
This procedure ensures that instruments and systems are
installed and functioning as designed. Correct installation is the
first step in ensuring that instruments and systems operate
reliably over their lifetimes.
Customer responsibilities
1Make sure your site meets the basic requirements, including
the necessary space, electrical outlets, gases, tubing,
operating supplies, consumables and other usage-dependent
items required for a successful installation. Refer to the
Agilent Intuvo 9000 GC, GC/MS, and ALS Site Preparation
Guide.
2If Agilent is delivering installation and familiarization
services, users of the instrument should be present
throughout these services; otherwise, these users will miss
important operational, maintenance, and safety information.
Additional information is available via the GC Touchscreen,
Browser Interface help & information suite, and the Agilent GC
and GC/MS User Manuals & Tools DVDs and through the
instrument’s website.
Once the GC is turned on, open a browser and connect to the
instrument's help and information system.
If your site complies with all site preparation specifications, the
average installation time for the GC is about 2 hours. Allow
more time for any additional products (for example, an ALS),
add-ons, and software.
About Agilent’s installation service
The installation service does not include:
•Network setup with other computers or to the site or
building LAN.

Installing the GC 1
Agilent Intuvo 9000 GC Installation 9
•Customization of the system.
•Method development and testing.
•Analysis of customer standards or samples.
•Testing against the instrument performance specification.
(Operational qualification and performance verification
services, OQ/PV, can be purchased separately.)
If you need assistance beyond this installation service, please
contact your local Agilent Technologies office. Assistance with
installation and with user-specific services and applications is
available and will be contracted separately.
Tools and additional parts required
Installation requires the following tools, fittings, and hardware.
These items are not included with the instrument.
•Precleaned copper tubing, 1/8-inch or 1/4-inch od.
•Fittings.
•Tubing cutter.
•Filters for gas supplies.
•7/16-inch and 9/16-inch open-end wrenches for assembling
Swagelok fittings.
•Carrier and other gas supplies.
•Pressure regulator for each gas supply.
•A computer, tablet, or other LAN-capable device (for
accessing GC user information and for firmware updates).
•Any additional LAN components, such as cables and a switch
or hub, for connection to the site LAN (not included in
Agilent installation services).
The Agilent Intuvo 9000 GC, GC/MS, and ALS Site Preparation
Guide contains a listing of Agilent installation kits and a
description of parts included with each. These kits contain
filters, fittings, tubing, tools (wrenches, tubing cutter, drivers,
and so on), and other required parts for installing a GC.)
Performing checkout
If using an Agilent data system, you can use it to perform the
checkout procedure. Read these GC installation instructions
and the instructions for installing the data system.

10 Agilent Intuvo 9000 GC Installation
1Installing the GC
System installation
If installing an ALS, the ALS can be used for checkout. Also
refer to the ALS installation documentation.
When installed as part of a complete system including an
Agilent data system, first install the GC up to the checkout step.
Configure the new GC in the data system and open an online
instrument session. Use the data system to perform the
checkout test.
When installed as part of other complete systems, for example
in an Agilent GC/MSD or GC/MS system, see the installation
instructions for that system.
Ship kit contents
Several ship kits will arrive with the GC. Most parts needed for
installation will be found in the 9000 GC System Ship Kit. Ship
kits for the ordered inlet and detector will include the inlet- and
detector-specific parts needed for checkout and maintenance,
for example, the inlet checkout liner, inlet wrench, septa,
detector checkout sample, and typical cleaning tools (varies by
inlet and detector type).

1Installing the GC
Unpacking
The GC is heavy. To avoid injury use a two-person lift.
1Inspect the shipping containers for damage. If a container is
damaged or shows signs of stress, notify both the carrier and
your local Agilent sales office.
Keep all shipping materials for inspection by the carrier.
2Check the items received against the packing lists. If there
are discrepancies, notify your local Agilent sales office
immediately.
Keep the shipping containers until you have checked their
contents for completeness and verified instrument
performance.

Installing the GC 1
Agilent Intuvo 9000 GC Installation 13
Place the GC on the bench.
The GC requires a bench that can support its weight plus that of
other equipment you will use with it. The area must be free of
overhanging obstructions that might interfere with
autosamplers, or that limit access to the top of the instrument.
The area must include sufficient space behind the GC to allow
for cooling.
1Remove the GC from its shipping box. Lift using the handle
on the back panel and the flat area beneath the GC front.
Avoid lifting by the door handle or the front air intake grill.
2Place the GC on the bench top. Make sure gas and power
supplies are accessible. Place related equipment near the GC.
3If space is limited behind the GC, attach the optional oven
exhaust deflector to the back of the GC as shown below.
WARNING
The GC is heavy. To avoid injury use a two-person lift.

14 Agilent Intuvo 9000 GC Installation
1Installing the GC
The oven exhaust deflector accepts a 7.62 cm (3 in.) diameter
exhaust duct, and adds about 7.6 cm to the depth of the GC,
but this additional depth does not increase the depth
required for proper ventilation. You will only need 20.3 cm
(8 in) from the GC back panel.

Installing the GC 1
Agilent Intuvo 9000 GC Installation 15
Verify line voltage and power cord.
1Verify that the power cord is correct for the voltage and
location. See “Power cords available” on page 15.
The power cord termination is determined by the country
where the GC is ordered.
2Have a qualified person measure the actual power outlet
voltage and verify it meets the tolerance requirements listed
in Table 1 on page 15. See also “Grounding” on page 18.
The next sections detail the power specifications and
requirements for reference.
Power consumption
The number and type of electrical outlets required for
installation depends on the size and complexity of your system.
A GC system with a computer, monitor, printer, and hub
requires five outlets. The GC does not require a dedicated
ground, but since the GC can draw up to 12 A maximum,
depending on the line voltage, you may not want other
devices on the same circuit.
Power line conditioners should not be used with the GC.
Power cords available
Table 2 lists the power cords available for the GC. If your power
cord is incorrect, order the cord appropriate for the country.
WARNING
Electrical shock hazard. To avoid injury, only a qualified person
should measure line voltage.

Grounding
To protect users, the metal instrument panels and cabinet are
grounded through the three-conductor power line cord in
accordance with International Electrotechnical Commission
(IEC) requirements.
The three-conductor power line cord, when plugged into a
properly grounded receptacle, grounds the instrument and
minimizes shock hazard. A properly grounded receptacle is one
that is connected to a suitable earth ground. Proper receptacle
grounding should be verified.
Make sure the GC is connected to a dedicated receptacle
(outlet).
