To ensure optimum performance of the FPD, you must keep it clean and free of dust and
deposits. Symptoms such as reduced sensitivity and increased noise indicate that detector
cleaning could be necessary.
The FPD detector periodic maintenance includes:
• Installing the FPD detector
See
.
• Removing the FPD detector
See
• Cleaning or replacing the FPD jet
You should clean the jet semiannually when you analyze particularly dirty compounds
that the flame does not burn properly.

.
• Replacing the FPD ignition glow-plug
This operation is NOT part on the ordinary maintenance. The flame ignition element
must be replaced only when defective.

Before maintaining the detector, read the following precautions:
WARNING
Carry out all the operations at low temperature to avoid burns. Therefore,
before beginning maintenance, cool the detector to room temperature.
CAUTION
When handling organic solvents you must take precautions to avoid health
hazards.
