Before the system can be used any air trapped in the gas lines and instrument must be purged out. After purging the
carrier gas supply system, the instrument must be outgassed. After the initial purge residual water vapor may still be
present in the seals and void spaces within in the instrument. Out-gassing removes this residual water vapor from the
system.
To out-gas the system follow these steps:
1.
Verify the Gas Supply Pressure is set correctly; see setting the Gas Supply Pressure on page 2-9.
2.
Turn the instrument on.
3.
Mount a film in the Test Cells, for more information see “Mounting Samples” on page 6-7.
4.
Load and Clamp the Test Cells, for more information refer to “
