Gas requirements
Canadian installation
When installing a GC in Canada, make sure your GC’s power supply circuit meets
the following additional requirements:
• The circuit breaker for the branch circuit, which is dedicated to the
instrument, must be rated for continuous operation.
• The service box branch circuit must be marked as a “Dedicated Circuit.”
Configuring the GC for an MSD
If you are installing an Agilent Mass Selective Detector, you must configure the
GC to properly control the heated transfer line.
1. Press [Config][Aux], and select [1] if the MSD is installed in the front position
or [2] for the back position.
2 Press [Mode/Type].
3 Use the scroll keys to select MSD as the Aux zone type. Press [Enter].
If you do not configure the Aux zone for MSD, Warning 101, Invalid heater power
for front (back) detector, inlet, and aux 1(2), will appear on the GC display,
and the heated zones will be set to not installed.
Gas requirements
Gases for packed columns
The carrier gas you use depends upon the type of detector and the performance
requirements. Table 4 lists gas recommendations for packed column use. In
general, makeup gases are not required with packed columns.
