9. Load a method that uses the TCD.
10. Check that the signal offset value is < 30 after the instrument equilibrates.
Maintaining a flame ionization detector (FID)
Warning Flame ionization detectors use hydrogen gas as fuel. If hydrogen flow is on and
no column is connected to the detector inlet fitting, hydrogen gas can flow into
the oven and create an explosion hazard. Detector fittings must have either a
column or a cap connected at all times.
FID gas flow paths
Figure 32 shows the pneumatics design for the FID and Table 36 shows the
maximum gas flows.
