074-594-P1H Micro GC Fusion Operating Man-

ual

5.2 4-Module Chassis

The 4-module Micro GC Fusion chassis houses up to four analytical GC modules,
electrical components and internal plumbing. The front panel display provides access
to basic operating interfaces and controls.

• Heated sample inlet

– The inlet is a 1/16 in. Swagelok

®

male connector. A 1/8 in. quick connect is

provided if the optional integrated sample conditioner is installed.

• Front panel display

– See Front Panel Operation [

149] for details about using the front panel dis-

play to access routine operating controls.

• On/Standby button

– Use the illuminated On/Standby button to power on or place the instrument in

standby mode.

Electrical and gas connections are located on the Micro GC Fusion back panel.
