Safety
Before servicing the various components of the GC, observe the following safety
precautions.
Caution
Follow the precautions below when servicing the instrument to avoid data loss
or damage to the instrument.
Printed circuit boards
When storing printed circuit boards (PCBs), always place them in static control
envelopes or enclosures.
Always make sure you are properly grounded (e.g., wearing an ESD strap) before
handling electrostatic sensitive components such as printed circuit boards.
Voltage carrying components
When disconnecting plugs, pull on the plug, not its wires. Pulling on the wires
may cause breakage.
Warnings
The following are potential hazards that can cause personal injury.
Heated components
Parts of the injector may become hot. Turn off the GC oven and inlet/detector
heated zones and allow them sufficient time to cool before servicing those areas.
If you must perform service on components that have not fully cooled, wear
protective gloves.
Voltage carrying components
Whenever possible, disconnect the G2613A Injector and G2614A Tray from the
GC before working on them.
