To configure an MSD transfer line
If the MSD transfer line is not correctly configured, you will find
that:
ï‚· The MSD transfer line heater will not heat
ï‚· You cannot set a temperature for the transfer line
ï‚· The transfer line is not seen by the software
To fix the problem, make sure the MSD transfer line is correctly
configured.
Normally, the MSD transfer line uses the back inlet heater
connection, but for GCs with two inlets, it can be configured as
the auxiliary thermal zone.
1 If not known, determine where the MSD transfer line
connects in the GC (back inlet or Aux 1).
Connect to the GC using the software keypad.
Unlock the GC configuration.
Press [Config], scroll to Back inlet or Thermal Aux 1, then press
[Enter].
With Unconfigured selected, press [Mode/Type] and select:
ï‚§ Install Heater A1 if the heated device is plugged into
the valve box bracket plug labeled A1.
ï‚§ Install Heater A1 if the heated device is plugged into
the back inlet heater plug.
Press [Enter].
When prompted, power cycle the GC.
Press [Config], then scroll to Back inlet or Thermal Aux 1.
Press [Enter].
Scroll to Auxiliary type, then press [Mode/Type].
Select MSD transfer line, then press [Enter].
