Installation Instructions

Agilent G3440-68011 Micro Electron Capture (µECD) 3rd Detector

Make the gas connections

1

Place the bulkhead fitting retainer onto the back of the third detector box 
assembly frame as shown and install using a 12 mm long M4 screw. See the 
figure below.

2

Remove the nut, ferrules, and hex nut from the bulkhead union.

3

Insert the bulkhead union threaded stud through the back of the frame (and 
the bulkhead fitting retainer). Use the hex nut and 1/2-inch wrench to 
secure in place.

M4 x 12 mm long 
screw

Bulkhead retainer

WARNING

The effluent gas stream from the detector must be vented to a fume hood to 

prevent possible contamination of the laboratory with radioactive material.
USA Owners: Detector venting must be in conformance with the latest revision 

of the Title 10, Code of Federal Regulations, Part 20 (including Appendix B).

Bulkhead retainer

Hex nut

Nut and ferrules
