c.

Connect the other end of the cryo supply tube to the coolant container using the 
appropriate nuts and ferrules. Use a 7/16-in. wrench for tightening the fittings.

12. Connect the cryo valve to the Aux Temperature/Cryo Module.

a.

Connect the cryo solenoid valve to the 2-pin connector marked 

Cryo Valves - Front 

Inlet

 or 

Cryo Valves-Back Inlet 

using the cable provided. See

 on 

the module to a 

Bus

 interface on the back of the GC. 

c.

Plug the power cable to the AC Input connector on the front of the module and to 
the wall outlet. The LED marked 

On

 lights after the GC is powered on.

d. Using the cable provided, connect the 15-pin female connector marked 

GC Bus

 on 

the module to a 

Bus

 interface on the back of the GC. 

13. Mount the left side panel proceeding in reverse order which the left side panel was 

removed.

14. Open the gas supplies.

15. If other external modules are present, plug the power cable to the AC Input connector of 

each external module, and to the wall outlet.

16. Power on the GC. 

a.

Plug the power cable to the AC Input connector on the back of the GC, and to the 
wall outlet.

b. Flip up the power switch (breaker), located at the back of the instrument, to the 

position I.

17. Configure and enable the cryogenic system through the user interface of your GC, or 

through the CDS in use. Refer to the 

TRACE 1300 and TRACE 1310 User Guide

.

a.

Configuration and enabling through the touch screen

.

i.

In the main menu select the
