Guidelines for prevention of damage
PLEASE STUDY THIS MANUAL THOROUGHLY BEFORE IN-
STALLING OR OPERATING THE INSTRUMENT.
Carrier gas
The RGD detectors can be destroyed if operated at temperature without
flow. The carrier gas should remain flowing until all heated zones are
below 50
o
C (2 to 3 hours).
Line voltage
Do not connect the power cord to line voltage without checking the cor-
rect operating voltage on the label located on the rear of the instrument.
Actuator Gas pressure
Always maintain correct actuator gas pressure. Low pressure (below 70
psig) can result in failure of the internal valves and /or stoppage of the gas
flow to sensitive instrument components. High pressure (above 150 psig)
will damage the valve actuators.
Carrier gas purifiers
External purifiers must be completely conditioned with gas flowing
through them before connection to the analyzer. Failure to properly con-
dition purifiers can result in serious contamination.
Shut down
Be sure all heated zones are shut off prior to disconnecting gas supply
lines. The carrier gas should remain flowing until all heated zones are
below 50
o
C (2 to 3 hours). After shutting off carrier gas, immediately cap
all open rear panel gas ports.
Electrical signal cables
Turn power off before connecting or disconnecting electrical signal cables.
Damage to circuit boards could result.
