To assembly the Dual FPD configuration
Initial operations
1. Put the GC in standby condition.
2. Switch off the flame. Hydrogen and air are automatically closed.
3. Cool the detector to room temperature.
4. Power off the GC.
a.
Push down the power switch (breaker), located at the back of the instrument, to the
position O.
b. Unplug the power cable from the AC Input connector into the back of the GC and
from the wall outlet.
5. If other external modules are present, unplug the power cable from the AC Input
connector of each module, and from the wall outlet.
6. Remove the FPD detectors from the base of the respective detector control module.
Note
For writing convention, we consider the disassembling of the photomultiplier tube
from the FPD detector installed on the
front
detector control module, and the assembling
of the Dual FPD configuration on the FPD detector installed on the
back
detector
control module. We name them
secondary
FPD detector
and
primary
FPD detector
respectively.
