Installation
The detector is usually mounted on top of the GC column oven. The cord for the
TCD controller is 3 m (10') long (AC cord + desktop power cord); the
detector cable and the signal output are 1.2 m (4') long.
General Precautions
• Do not turn the unit on until the carrier gas is flowing through the detector.
• Do not shut off or disconnect the carrier gas when the detector is hot, even if
the unit is turned off. Turn off the power switch on the back of the controller
and allow the detector to cool down naturally before disconnecting or shut-
ting off the carrier gas.
• Position the controller unit where the power switch on the rear panel can be
reached easily
