Maintaining the FID 8
Maintaining Your GC 175
To Install the FID Insulation Cup Assembly (Adaptable FID Only)
1 Gather the following:
• Insulation (See “Consumables and Parts for the FID” on
page 146.)
• Insulation cup assembly
2 Load the GC maintenance method and wait for the GC to
become ready.
3 Assemble the insulation in the cup. Line up the slots in the
insulation with the slot in the cup.
Capillary columns should be attached to the detector before
installing the cup. When attaching a packed column to the
detector, cap the detector fitting before installing the cup to
prevent insulation contamination of the detector.
4 Push the wire spring lever to the right to uncover the hole.
WARNING
Be careful! The detector may be hot enough to cause burns. If the
detector is hot, wear heat-resistant gloves to protect your hands.
