Connecting The FROG to Ellvin
1. Open the Ellvin GC Software
2. Plug serial data cable (Figure 5) into data port on side of FROG (Figure 2).
3. Turn FROG on
4. In Ellvin select the dropdown menu to the right of the port icon (Figure 6) and
select a COM port (the FROG is usually the last port on the list).
5. If connection is successful in the lower left corner of the software it will display:
CONNECTED PARAMS LOADED
6. If a connection was unsuccessful it may be necessary to install the proper drivers.
These can be installed manually by opening the CDM application on the software
USB drive under Defiant Tech Ellvin\USB to Serial Drivers\ CDM 2.04.06.exe.
Important!
DO NOT
invert the instrument with the sparge bottle attached.
DO NOT
transport or store the instrument with liquid in the sparge bottle.
DO NOT
handle or carry system when sample is being analyzed.
Powering the FROG
The FROG may be run on battery or an AC power source.
Battery:
1. The battery is already installed in the FROG.
2. There is a battery indicator on the back of the FROG. Five bars show that the FROG
is fully charged.
AC Power Source:
1. The FROG can be run on an AC Power Source. To run on power, plug power supply
(Figure 3) into power source and then into 12 VDC Power port on side of FROG
(Figure 2).
To turn the FROG on, slide the power switch located on the side of the instrument into
the up position. A green light should appear (Figure 4).
Installing the Ellvin GC Software
The Ellvin GC Software is located on a USB Drive in the zipper pouch of the FROG’s
case. To install the software run the setup file located in the folder labeled Defiant Tech
Ellvin.
Recommended Computer Specifications:
Pentium dual core or faster, Windows 7 or
more current, and 2 GB memory.

Setting up the FROG for Sampling
Water/Soil Sampling will require:
Sparge Tube and 5 mL Syringe. For blank water samples use distilled or de-ionized
water.
Air Sampling will require:
FROG Air Sampling Kit (pg 6). For blank air samples the carbon filter tube in the air
sampling kit can be used to filter the air or any other source of clean air may be used.
Refer to the following pages for further details: Water Analysis page 4, Soil Analysis
page 5, Air Analysis pages 6 and 7.
Before sampling:
1. Make sure instrument settings are correct for the application
2. Calibrate or have the Frog calibrated for the application
3. Run a blank before attempting sample analysis. A blank run should produce a clean
baseline (Figure 7)
4. (Optional) Adjust Retention Times if using the Frog at a different location than the
one where it was calibrated. Elevation changes will affect retention times.

is a slight peak in the beginning, this is normal and accepta-
