5. Apply carrier air to the instrument, and set the flows. See application data
sent with the instrument for proper settings.
a. Verify that the pyrolyzer and oven heater temperature come up to
temperature and stabilize at the control point.
b. Adjust the zero/carrier air pressure and flow again after the pyrolyzer
and oven stabilize at the correct temperature.
6. Turn on the sample flow to the instrument, and adjust it to the correct
pressure and flow. Note that this procedure varies depending on the
installed sampling system. Consult the application notes and drawings
provided with the instrument for more information.
7. Enable analysis of the sample by taking the instrument out of the suspend
mode (Chapter 5). The unit begins injecting and analyzing sample when
the instrument temperatures reach operating levels.
8. Allow the analyzer system to stabilize. Monitor the measured values on
the front panel for consistent analysis readings to determine when the
analyzer system has stabilized.
9. Calibrate the analyzer according to “Calibration” in Chapter 6. Allow
ample time for this initial calibration to stabilize. Subsequent calibrations
proceed more quickly than this initial calibration.
If starting the analyzer for the first time or if major service has been
performed, use the initial startup procedure detailed in the previous section
“Initial Startup.”
When starting the analyzer after a short-term shutdown, perform the
following:
1. Open the instrument/purge air and carrier air to the instrument. Refer to
the applications information, manuals, and drawings shipped with the
instrument, and adjust the pressure regulators to the appropriate settings.
2. Apply power to the analyzer.
Note
If the X-Purge option is installed, you must follow the instructions
included in Appendix G .
