Introduction
Before the Thermo Fisher Scientific field service engineer arrives to install the Thermo
Scientific Orbitrap Fusion Series Tribrid mass spectrometer, you must provide a suitable
location, a carefully controlled operating environment, a source of power of acceptable
quality, correct gases and solvent supplies, and proper waste and exhaust systems.
CAUTION Operating an instrument or maintaining it outside the power and operating
environment specifications described in this guide might cause failures of many types. The
repair of such failures is specifically excluded from the Thermo Fisher Scientific standard
warranty and service contract coverage.
Note
• For preinstallation support and additional information, contact your local Thermo
Fisher Scientific office.
• Unless otherwise noted, the information in this guide applies to all Orbitrap Fusion
Series models.

Site Preparation
You are responsible for providing an acceptable installation site for the Orbitrap Fusion Series
system before the Thermo Fisher Scientific service engineer arrives. Make sure your laboratory
meets these requirements:
• When transporting the equipment to the designated site, you have a wide turning radius
through entrances, hallways, elevators, and so on. Remember to consider the width of the
device transporting the shipping container to the lab.
• The lab has a designated location for the MS and data system modules.
Contents
• Shipping Containers
• Space and Load Requirements
• Forepumps
• Telephone
Shipping Containers
Your system ships in multiple containers. Table 2 lists the overall dimensions and weights of
the shipping containers that are too large to carry by hand. Use this information to determine
how to transport the containers and remove their contents. Other equipment in your order
have their own smaller shipping containers and do not require special consideration. The
chemicals kit typically arrives earlier than the other parts of your order.
See “Installation Kits” on page 32 for the kit part numbers.
Note Transport the container with the mass spectrometer assembly (container #1) to the
lab and do not open it until the service engineer is on site.

Forepumps
The Orbitrap Fusion system uses one forepump, whereas the Orbitrap Fusion Lumos system
uses two. For information about connecting the forepumps, refer to the Orbitrap Fusion Series
Getting Connected Guide and the installation instructions provided with the forepump.
CAUTION Trip hazard. Whenever possible, provide space under the workbench for the
forepumps. If placed in front of the mass spectrometer, the forepumps become a trip
hazard.
CAUTION
• Do not place the forepump on a shelf or other surface connected to the workbench.
Vibration from the pump can affect instrument performance.
• The exhaust hose tubing acts as a trap for exhaust fumes that would otherwise
recondense in the forepump oil.
–
To maintain forepump integrity, route the exhaust tubing from the exhaust port
down to the floor, not from the forepump vertically toward the ceiling.
–
Run the exhaust hose at floor level for a minimum of 2 m (79 in.) before it
reaches the external exhaust system.
Telephone
Make sure that laboratory staff has access to a telephone (landline or mobile) near the mass
spectrometer. For a landline connection, install the telephone jack close enough so that you
can operate the instrument while speaking with Thermo Fisher Scientific Technical Support.

Operating Environment
For proper operation of the Orbitrap Fusion Series MS, you are responsible for providing the
operating environment described in this chapter. Attention to the operating environment
ensures continued high performance of the Thermo Scientific instrument. Any expenditures
for air conditioning are more than offset by good sample throughput and reduced repair costs.

Electrostatic Discharge (ESD)
Follow the stated precautions to help prevent ESD.
Lighting
• Operating: Use typical laboratory lighting.
• Cleaning: Use a small, high-intensity lamp.
Vibration
Choose a lab location that is vibration-free.
Humidity
Maintain the relative humidity in the designated lab at 40–80 percent, without condensation.
Operating a Thermo Scientific mass spectrometer in an environment with very low humidity
can cause the accumulation and discharge of static electricity that can shorten the life of the
electronic components. Operating the MS in an environment with high humidity can cause
condensation, oxidation, and short electronic circuits. It can also cause the accumulation of
dust that can block filters on the cooling fans.
You can ensure that the lab is always within the required temperature and humidity
specifications by installing a temperature and humidity monitor in the lab.
Temperature
For precision instruments, such as the Orbitrap Fusion Series MS, maintain the lab
temperature at 15–27 °C (59–81 °F). For optimum performance, maintain the lab
temperature at 18–21 °C (65–70 °F). Temperature control is vital to acquiring accurate mass
measurements. Therefore, make sure that during any one-hour period, ambient temperature
fluctuations are less than 1 °C or 2 °F.
IMPORTANT
• All electronic components generate heat while operating. This heat must dissipate to
the surrounding air for the components to continue to operate reliably.
• Do not locate the mass spectrometer under an air duct, near windows, or near heating
and cooling sources. As the lab temperature increases, instrument reliability decreases.
Ensure that there is good air flow around the system and that the air conditioning system
maintains a constant temperature in the immediate vicinity of the instrument. Table 6 lists
the approximate heat output (power) for the system modules. For the heat output of your
specific LC devices and the data system components, refer to the instrument manuals.

Approximate values for the EASY-nLC 1000. The actual values depend on your installed equipment.
Particulate Matter
Make sure that the air in the lab is free from excessive dust, smoke, or other particulate matter
in excess of 5 μm—that is, fewer than 3 500 000 particles per cubic meter (100 000 particles
per cubic foot).
Dust can clog the air filters, causing a reduction in air flow around the electronic components.
Dust on electronic components can act as an insulating blanket, which reduces the transfer of
heat from the components to the surrounding air.
Electrostatic Discharge
Electrostatic discharge (ESD) can damage the electronic components of the Orbitrap Fusion
Series mass spectrometer.
Most Thermo Scientific instruments are designed to withstand ESD up to 4 kV (air
discharge) and 4 kV (contact discharge) with all panels in place. However, removing the
panels and handling the printed circuit boards (PCBs) without proper precautions might
damage the electrical components or cause them to fail prematurely.
Because of ESD, take the following precautions, especially when operating the system at the
lower end of the relative humidity specification:
• Use a static-dissipating floor covering (such as tile or conductive linoleum) in the lab.
• Use laboratory chairs covered with natural fibers or other static-dissipating material.
• Wear a laboratory coat and clothing made of natural fiber or other static-dissipating
material when operating the instrument.
• Keep Styrofoam™ cups or packing materials away from the instrument.

Lighting
Good lighting makes any work area more enjoyable. When you clean the mass spectrometer
components, use a small, high-intensity lamp.
Vibration
Select a lab location that is free from vibration—floors at ground level usually have less
vibration. When selecting the location, be aware of adjacent rooms with equipment that can
transmit vibrations through the floor to the mass spectrometer workbench.
Because of the natural vibration of the forepump during operation, install the forepump on
the floor beneath the mass spectrometer.

Line Power
You are responsible for providing a power source of acceptable quality to operate the
Orbitrap Fusion Series MS. The quality of line power (ac mains power system) delivered to
the mass spectrometer can affect its performance and longevity. To ensure that the instrument
performs optimally and is not damaged by line power fluctuations, verify that the lab’s
electrical supply complies with all power quality requirements.
CAUTION To support compliance and safety requirements, all devices connected between
the power source and the mass spectrometer must be certified by recognized organizations
for your country or territory (for example, UL, CSA, SEMKO, VDE, or TÜV).
Such devices include the power supply cords, electrical outlets, circuit breakers,
uninterruptible power supplies (UPSs), and so on.

Line Power
Quality of Power
Quality of Power
Establishing the quality of power supplied to the LC/MS system is very important for these
reasons:
• Constant high line voltage, impulses, or surges in voltage can cause overheating and
component failures.
• Constant low line voltage or sags in voltage can cause the equipment to function
erratically or not at all.
• Transients—even a few microseconds in duration—can cause electronic devices to
degrade or fail catastrophically, shortening the lifetime of the equipment.
Before the service engineer arrives to install your system, make sure the line voltage is stable
and within the recommended specifications. The line voltage must be free of fluctuations due
to slow changes in the average sags, surges, transients, or voltage. For the mass spectrometer’s
electrical ratings, see Table 8 on page 19.
Table 7 lists the definitions for the three most common voltage disturbances.
Table 7. Common voltage disturbances
Voltage disturbance
Definition
Slow average
A gradual, long-term change in the average root mean square
(RMS) voltage level, with typical durations greater than 2 s
Sags and surges
Sudden changes in the average RMS voltage level, with typical
durations between 50 ms and 2 s
Transients or impulses
A brief voltage spike of up to several thousand volts, with
typical durations up to 50 μs
Power Monitoring Devices
Several devices are available to monitor the quality of the line power. These devices provide a
continuous record of line performance by analyzing and printing out data for the three most
common voltage disturbances (see Table 7).
In the first two cases, the time interval recording indicates the duration and the amplitude of
the disturbance. A power line disturbance analyzer detects and records most types of line
power problems. The Dranetz™ system1 is an example of a suitable analyzer. In some
countries, you can rent power line analyzers from electrical equipment suppliers.

Thermo Fisher Scientific does not endorse any power monitoring company, nor does it endorse products other
than its own. Companies and products listed in this guide are given as examples only.
Orbitrap Fusion Series Preinstallation Requirements Guide
Thermo Scientific
4 Line Power
Power Conditioning Devices
Monitor the power line 24 hours a day for seven consecutive days. If inspection of the
printout indicates disturbances, stop the test and take corrective action. Monitor the power
again as previously described.
Power Conditioning Devices
You can correct a line voltage problem by using various line voltage conditioning devices. If
the power regulation is good but the power line disturbance analyzer shows transient voltages,
an isolation/noise-suppression transformer can resolve the problem. For both transient and
regulation problems, consider the use of power conditioners to control these problems. For
regulatory information, see the CAUTION statement on page 15.
CAUTION Any conditioning device installed with the mass spectrometer must be able to
handle the potentially high currents that are drawn during the initial startup of the
system. For example, during startup, the forepump or forepumps can draw a high inrush
current.
Because the mass spectrometer requires the use of one or two forepumps, it draws an
inrush current. The maximum system inrush (start) current for one forepump (Oerlikon
Leybold Vacuum™, model SOGEVAC™ SV 65 BI) is 12 A. The average duration of the
inrush current is less than 1 s. Therefore, this initial energy demand from the ac power
line is very low.
Thermo Scientific mass spectrometers are protected from overcurrents with time-delay
fuses and active switches. For more information, contact your service engineer.
When the line voltage is free from voltage sags, surges, and impulses but is more than
10 percent outside of the voltage specifications, a buck/boost transformer can lower (buck
10 percent) or raise (boost 10 percent) the line voltage as appropriate for the rated voltage.
Order the Buck/Boost Transformer Kit (P/N OPTON-01460) from Thermo Fisher Scientific
San Jose. Each buck/boost transformer is encased in a metal housing approximately
13 × 13 × 26 cm (5 × 5 × 10 in.) and ships with a 2 m (6.5 ft) power supply cord. Have a
certified electrician install the transformer, using the installation instructions that are
included. Then, install the Orbitrap Fusion Series system.
CAUTION Instruments installed in areas with 208 Vac power can experience voltage sags
during high use periods that might place the line voltage below the operating parameters
discussed in this section. In this case, protect the instrument by using a buck/boost
transformer to ensure that power stays within the specified parameters.
Uninterruptible Power Supply
If your local area is susceptible to corrupted power or power disruptions, install an
uninterruptible power supply (UPS) in the lab. See the Caution on page 15.

Circuit Breakers
Circuit Breakers
Make sure that each circuit breaker is suitably rated so that the equipment connected to the
electrical outlets does not lose power by triggering a current overload condition. For added
protection, install a surge protector at the input to the circuit breaker panel.
Earth Ground
Make sure that the earth ground connections in the lab are hardwired to the same ground
used for the main circuit breaker panel. Multiple external ground points can cause noise
current to flow through the ground loop that is formed.
Electrical Outlets
Installing a complete Orbitrap Fusion Series system can require extensive electrical resources
for connecting all of the equipment. Plan the power system with a sufficient number of
grounded, electrical outlets that are suitably rated. In addition, for testing and cleaning
equipment, such as an oscilloscope and a sonicator, have several additional outlets close to the
work area.
CAUTION To avoid an electric shock, always have a certified electrician install any new
wall receptacles.
Table 8 lists the electrical ratings (labels) and required number of outlets for the system
modules in a typical lab setup. For the LC modules, refer to the manufacturer's manuals. To
prevent overloading the outlets, select outlets with a load rating that is suitable for the
expected total current draw per outlet.
IMPORTANT
• Thermo Fisher Scientific recommends that you connect the mass spectrometer and
each forepump to separate electrical outlets that have their own dedicated
single-phase, circuit breakers rated 230 Vac, 15 A for North America and 230 Vac,
16 A for other countries and territories. For example, the Orbitrap Fusion Lumos
installation requires three separate, dedicated electrical outlets (one for the instrument
and two for the forepumps). See also Figure 3.
• In North America, the LC/MS system requires both 120 and 230 Vac single-phase
electrical outlets.

CAUTION
• Contaminants introduced during the installation of house lines used for gas delivery
can cause damage to the mass spectrometer. Make sure that all gas lines used with the
mass spectrometer have been cleaned of all particulates and oils. You are responsible
for any damage to the instrument caused by contaminants introduced from your gas
delivery system.
• Avoid using particulate filters, as they can be a source of contamination.
• You must use either copper (provided) or stainless steel for the UHP gas lines.
Helium Supply
To dispense the UHP helium from a tank (such as one containing 245 ft3 of helium), use a
suitable regulator. Use either stainless steel tubing or the provided copper tubing for the
helium gas line, and make sure that it is free of oil and preferably flame dried.
Note
• After you start using the mass spectrometer, do not shut off the helium gas. Optimum
performance requires a continuous flow of helium.
• If you intend to use helium for sparging your LC solvents, you must have a second
tank and regulator.
Nitrogen Supply
You must provide a regulator for the nitrogen gas supply that you can adjust over the specified
pressure range. Use the following sources for the HP nitrogen supply:
• A large, sealed, thermally insulated cylinder containing liquid nitrogen from which the
nitrogen gas is boiled off. The selected Dewar flask must be able to provide the required
gas flows and a head pressure of 690 ±140 kPa (100 ±20 psi) going to the mass
spectrometer.
• A nitrogen generator that can generate up to 21 L/min (44.5 ft3/h) of HP nitrogen with a
head pressure of 690 ±140 kPa (100 ±20 psi).
CAUTION When you turn on the Orbitrap Fusion Series MS, the initial nitrogen surge
might exceed the capacity of the nitrogen generator. This sudden surge causes a flow rate
drop that can trigger a low nitrogen warning from the instrument. If low nitrogen
warnings happen frequently, call your Thermo Fisher Scientific service engineer.

5 Gases and Solvents
Solvent Recommendations
Solvent Recommendations
As specified in Table 10, use only LC/MS-grade solvents and reagents for operating and
maintaining the Orbitrap Fusion Series MS. Installation of the instrument requires
LC/MS-grade methanol and water. Installation of some instruments might also require
solvent modifiers.
CAUTION Avoid exposure to potentially harmful materials.
By law, producers and suppliers of chemical compounds are required to provide their
customers with the most current health and safety information in the form of Material
Safety Data Sheets (MSDSs) or Safety Data Sheets (SDSs). The MSDSs and SDSs must
be freely available to lab personnel to examine at any time. These data sheets describe the
chemicals and summarize information on the hazard and toxicity of specific chemical
compounds. They also provide information on the proper handling of compounds, first
aid for accidental exposure, and procedures to remedy spills or leaks.
Read the MSDS or SDS for each chemical you use. Store and handle all chemicals in
accordance with standard safety procedures. Always wear protective gloves and safety
glasses when you use solvents or corrosives. Also, contain waste streams, use proper
ventilation, and dispose of all laboratory reagents according to the directions in the MSDS
or SDS.

Solvent Recommendations
IMPORTANT
• Some solvent impurities are transparent to a UV-Vis detector. Therefore, some
HPLC-grade solvents might contain contaminants that interfere with the
performance of the instrument. To operate the mass spectrometer, choose HPLC
solvents with minimum contamination.
• Do not filter solvents. Filtering solvents can introduce contamination.

Waste and Exhaust
You are responsible for providing the proper waste and exhaust systems that are required to
operate the Orbitrap Fusion Series MS. The waste and exhaust arrangements can affect the
proper performance of the instrument. You must vent vacuum and solvent wastes separately,
and collect and dispose of wastes properly.
For information about setting up the exhaust and waste systems, refer to the Orbitrap Fusion
Series Getting Connected Guide.

• Exhaust System
• Solvent Waste
Exhaust System
To properly operate one or both forepumps, Thermo Fisher Scientific strongly recommends
connecting the forepump to an efficient fume exhaust system. The forepump eventually
exhausts much of what is introduced into the mass spectrometer, including the small amount
of oil vapor that a mechanical pump can emit.
Note Most API applications contribute to solvents accumulating in the forepump.
Although Thermo Fisher Scientific recommends that you periodically open the ballast
valve (on the side of the pump) to purge the accumulated solvents, opening the valve
might allow a large volume of volatile solvent waste to enter the fume exhaust system.
Choose an exhaust system that can accommodate the periodic purging of these solvents.
The frequency of the purging depends on the throughput of the instrument.
The forepump requires one 15 mm (0.6 in.) OD exhaust port. The exhaust system for the
forepump must be able to accommodate an initial inrush flow rate of 3 L/min (6.4 ft3/hr) and
a continuous flow rate of 1 L/min (2 ft3/hr). The exhaust tubing from the forepump to the
exhaust system is 0.5 in. ID, 3/4 in. OD, and 3 m (10 ft) long.

Waste and Exhaust
Solvent Waste
IMPORTANT The port for the lab exhaust system must be close enough to the forepump
or forepumps so that the exhaust hose is at floor level for a minimum of 2 m (78.7 in.).
This hose acts as a trap for exhaust fumes that would otherwise recondense in the
forepump oil.
Equip your lab with at least two fume exhaust systems:
• The analyzer optics become contaminated if the drain/waste tubing and the exhaust
tubing from the forepump connect to the same fume exhaust system. Route the exhaust
tubing from the forepump to a dedicated fume exhaust system.
CAUTION Do NOT run the forepump exhaust lines vertically near the forepump.
Solvents and oils can condense in the line and flow back into the pump, causing
pump damage and diminished pump capability.
• Do not vent the Tygon™ drain tube (or any vent tubing connected to the waste container)
to the same fume exhaust system that connects to the forepump. Vent the waste container
to a dedicated fume exhaust system. The exhaust system for the API source must
accommodate a flow rate of up to 30 L/min (64 ft3/h).
Solvent Waste
The mass spectrometer comes with parts to collect the solvent waste from the API source.
Because the API source can accommodate high flow rates, you must use a method of
collecting the waste solvent that avoids pressure buildup in the source. The solvent
drain/waste exhaust port is located on the back of the instrument.
IMPORTANT The solvent waste tubing that connects from the waste container to the
exhaust system is 1 in. ID, 1-3/8 in. OD. Make sure that your lab exhaust system can
accommodate this tubing without using reducing connectors along the solvent waste path.
Use these guidelines for the API source drain:
• Use the Tygon tubing provided with the solvent waste container to connect the solvent
waste container to the lab’s fume exhaust system.
• To prevent solvent waste from backing up into the mass spectrometer, make sure that all
Tygon tubing is above the level of liquid in the waste container as follows:
–
From the mass spectrometer to the solvent waste container
–
From the solvent waste container to the exhaust system

Filing a Damage Claim Against the Carrier
3. Have the driver sign or initial next to your comments to signify agreement with your
observations.
4. Report the list of damages to your Thermo Fisher Scientific representative.
IMPORTANT Freight insurance requires that you note obvious damage on the
receiving documents. Thermo Fisher Scientific does not accept liability for damage if
materials are received with obvious damage AND the damage is not recorded on the
receiving documents.
Filing a Damage Claim Against the Carrier
If the instrument is damaged in transit, the shipment method determines the party who
assumes the risk of damage and files a claim against the carrier—Thermo Fisher Scientific or
the purchaser. To determine the shipment method for instruments shipped from the San Jose,
CA site, check the sales agreement or the sales quote.
Table 11 lists the party who files the damage claim against the carrier for instruments
damaged in transit based on the shipment method.
