Installation
Detector Mounting
Vertical Mounting
The detector has no particular orientation requirements, but it should have
adequate thermal isolation from the column oven and injection port. Most GCs
have an existing opening which will allow the TCD-3 detector module to sit verti-
cally on top of the column oven with the column inlet extending into the oven.
If an existing detector is being replaced, the TCD-3 can usually be set in its place.
If not, use a drill or chassis punch to make a hole of the proper size, and set the
detector in position.
While trying to match base plate mounting holes to every GC on the market is
impractical, the mounting holes for the TCD-3 have been located so that at least
two of them should align with existing holes on the GC. (

) Orient the
detector to allow for easy cable and gas connections. The inlet lines installed
into the detector must enter the column oven and permit column connection.
Temperature loss between the column outlet and the detector should be
minimized to prevent possible condensation of the sample.
