For users who plan to use a CI source (CI MSDs only), check the MSD
ChemStation version.
If using MSD ChemStation version D.01.xx or earlier , install the EI source.
Agilent recommends using EI mode for easier installation and leak testing
in this case.
If using MSD ChemStation version D.02.xx or later , proceed with either the
EI or CI source installed.
See also “Final leak test procedure for CI sources” on page 35.
2. Select and Install a Restrictor
1
Install the lock nut on the end of the MSD transfer line ( Figure 6 ) with the
threads facing the MSD. Run it down until it touches the transfer line (stops
turning). Do not tighten it.
2
Restrictors are precut lengths of deactivated fused-silica tubing with
swaged ferrules attached.
• For initial installation, Agilent recommends installing a 100-µm
restrictor for use with the checkout methods supplied on the QuickSwap
User Information CD.
• If not using one of these methods, or if this is not an initial installation,
refer to the
Reference Manual to choose an appropriate restrictor.
