Power Outlets
Each system component (Jade DSC, Computer, Monitor, Printer and cooling accessory)
requires a separate power outlet. All outlets should share a common earth ground. Additional
power outlets and power consumption must be allowed for optional cooling accessories
Other:
This equipment is designed to operate within 10% of the selected line voltage. The supply
must be smooth, clean and free of transient voltages over 40 volts.
Earth grounding: less than 1 ohm resistance between the grounds of any 2 components of the
system
d) Gas Requirements:
NOTE: ALL GASSES AND REGULATORS MUST BE SUPPLIED BY CUSTOMER
For operation at or above ambient temperatures:
“Sample Purge Gas” such as dry argon, nitrogen, air, oxygen; minimum purity of 99.9%
Regulator outlet pressure, typical 2-3 bar or 30 to 40 psi
A Nitrogen “System Purge Gas” of 50- 75 ml/min. is required. This gas should be clean
and dry having minimum purity of 99.9%. Regulator Outlet Pressure set to 2-3 bar or 30
to 40 psi (not to exceed 6.0 bar/90 psi).
For Subambient Intracooler 6P operation:
“Sample Purge Gas” such as dry argon, nitrogen, air, oxygen; minimum purity of
99.99% . (A gas having a dew point ≤ -90 °C is recommended)

Regulator outlet pressure, typical 2-3 bar or 30 to 40 psi (not to exceed 6.0 bar/90 psi).
A Nitrogen “System Purge Gas” of 50- 75 cc is required. This gas should be clean and
dry having minimum purity of 99.99%. Regulator Outlet Pressure 2-3 bar or 30 to 40 psi
(not to exceed 6.0 bar/90 psi).
For Subambient Liquid Nitrogen operation:
A low pressure Nitrogen source is required to pressurize the LN2 Liquid Nitrogen Tank.
25-30 PSI is required.
“Sample Purge Gas” such as dry argon, nitrogen, helium; minimum purity of 99.99% .
(A gas having a dew point ≤ -180 °C is recommended)
Regulator outlet pressure, typical 2-3 bar or 30 to 40 psi (not to exceed 6.0 bar/90 psi).
A Nitrogen “System Purge Gas” of 50- 75 cc is required. This gas should be clean and
dry having minimum purity of 99.99%. Regulator Outlet Pressure 2-3 bar or 30 to 40 psi
(not to exceed 6.0 bar/90 psi).
For all Autosampler subambient operation:
A dry box purge may be required depending on the relative humidity in the laboratory. A
separate purge line is required to control the flow between 35 to 50 ml/min. This can be
accomplished using a restrictor (provided with the analyzer).
Gas Line Tubing:
Provided with the Jade is approximately 10 feet (~3 meters) of 1/8” Teflon tubing and
fittings to be used to connect one sample purge and one system purge line. Additional
lengths if required due to the location of the gas source or additional sample purge gases
is the responsibility of the customer. Customer is to notify the Customer Care Agent if
more purge/sample gas tubing is needed.
Regulators:
Customer must provide the necessary regulators to connect the required purge and
system gases. Regulators are available from PerkinElmer at an additional cost.
N5190462 Gas Split Kit provides a convenient method of splitting a single source of gas.
One kit required for each split in the source gas.
Filter Driers:
Moisture in purge gases will negatively affect instrument performance. Filter driers
N5370103 are strongly recommended to maintain a clean dry purge gas.
e) Coolant requirements:
The Jade DSC requires a coolant of one of the following types:
Circulating water: A source of water and a drain are required. Flow rate of 5 l/min
required.
Chiller: A liquid circulating device such as the PolyScience Model 9102. The 9102
water circulator does not include the cooling liquid. 50/50 Ethylene Glycol (non
automotive grade, Fisher P/N E1774), Distilled Water and Algaecide (N0776059 8 drops
per gallon) is required as the cooling media to -20 °C. Minimum temperature control ±
0.1 °C is required.
Intercooler 6P Refrigeration based.

Cryofill: LN2 cooling system requires 50 liters of liquid nitrogen to operate. It is the
customer responsibility to make the LN2 available at the installation site of the Jade DSC.
LN2 consumption is approximately 2.5 liters/hour and dependent on temperature range.
NOTE: when handling LN2 wear appropriate safety gear as specified by your
corporate safety officer or LN2 supplier
