9. Push the EGC electrical cable firmly into the
EGC 1
(or
EGC 2
) bulkhead
connector (see Figure 9-14 ). Twist the ring on the cable connector
fingertight to secure it.
10. Unscrew the fitting on the top of the EGC a few turns to vent the EGC.
11. On the Chromeleon 7 ePanel Set or Chromeleon 6.8 panel tabset, select
the following settings:
a. DC panel: Verify that the suppressor Mode is off.
b. EG panel: Verify that the CR-TC is off.
c. Pump panel: Set the flow rate to 0.02 mL/min. This turns on the
pump flow, also.
12. Flush the capillary EGC for 20 minutes and then turn off the pump flow.
13. Disconnect the temporary tubing from the EGC
OUTLET
port.
To ensure proper ventilation, always loosen the fitting on the top of the
capillary EGC before operation.
To avoid damaging the suppressor and CR-TC, always turn them off
before flushing the EGC. The pump flow is on during flushing; however,
no flow reaches the suppressor or CR-TC.
