Installation Guide: Flame Ionization Detector (FID)
1
Determine the correct location for the detector flow control
module:
•
Detector in the front position
–
use the upper detector
flow control module location.
•
Detector in the back position
–
use the lower detector
flow control module location.
2
Remove the existing detector label plate sticker from the
module location to be used and install the new one provided.
3
Route hydrogen and air tubing between the flow module and
detector alongside existing tubing and wiring located behind
the oven top and through either slot to the detector. Avoid
making sharp bends in the tubing.
4
At the same time, route the open-ended air vent tube from
the flow module towards the rear of the GC along the inside
of the flow control portion (left side) of the instrument. The
tube should be routed to be as straight as possible.
5
Verify that the three valves on the flow module are in their
respective midway positions (rotated fully clockwise to a
stop, then rotated two to three turns counterclockwise) and
then slide the module onto two studs provided at the rear of
the flow panel.
C A U T I O N
Handle the module carefully to avoid damaging its components and/or
connected tubing.
