Part 2. NonEPC control
Control tables for nonEPC inlet and detector gases provide on/off control but
do not control flow rates or pressures. These must be set manually and verified
using a bubble meter or other flow meter. See page 76 for bubble meter
operation.
Inlets
Pressure regulators, flow controllers, and other controls for nonEPC sample
inlets are mounted in a module on the left side of the GC. See the Inlets volume
for operating information.

Septum purge
Septum purge flow is set automatically on the nonEPC purged packed inlet; it
can be measured at a vent on the front panel. Septum purge is a user adjustment
on the nonEPC split/splitless inlet.
