Connecting a GDI Interface to the TRACE 1310 Auxiliary Oven
The GDI mechanical module can be installed as auxiliary detector into the position
Aux L
or
Aux R
of the auxiliary detector assembly.
The detector cable of the GDI electrical interface, installed into an external module housing
on the back of the GC, must be connected to the VOBP-HRM board located into the
electronic compartment of the TRACE 1310 Auxiliary Oven. See the following procedure.
To connect the GDI electrical interface to the TRACE 1310 auxiliary oven
1. Carefully decouple the TRACE 1310 Auxiliary Oven from the GC for creating enough
operating space for guiding the detector cable from the GDI electrical interface through
the GC into the electronic compartment of the TRACE 1310 Auxiliary Oven.
2. In the electronic compartment look for the VOBP-HRM board. It is located over the
power section of the TRACE 1310 Auxiliary Oven. See
Figure 509.

3. Connect the 26-pin connector of the detector cable coming from the GDI electrical
interface to the VOBP-HRM board in the electronic compartment.

On the board VOBP-HRM disconnect the flat cable from the connector marked
J29
AUX DET LEFT
if the GDI mechanical module is installed in the
Left
site, or from
the connector marked
J13 AUX DET RIGHT
if the GDI mechanical module is
installed in the
Right
site. See
WARNING
This operation must be carried out by authorized and trained Thermo Fisher
Scientific Service Field Engineers.
Before starting make sure that the TRACE 1300/1310 GC and the TRACE 1310
Auxiliary Oven are powered off and the power cables disconnected.
WARNING
Before proceeding this operation make sure to disconnect properly the inner
tube. Refer to the section Coupling the TRACE 1310 Auxiliary Oven to the GC on the
TRACE 1310 Auxiliary Oven Instruction Manual, and operating in the reverse order in
which it was mounted.
