To Remove the Electronics Cover
You may need to raise the electronics cover to perform NPD maintenance. The steps required
depend on whether or not an FPD+ is installed.
Be careful! With the power switch on, potentially dangerous voltages also exist:
• All electronics boards in the instrument.
•The internal wires and cables connected to these boards.
• The wires for the oven heater.
The covers shield these parts as the parts may be hot enough to cause burns. Never remove
a cover unless the instrument is unplugged.
Raising the electronics cover exposes the GC electronics.
Without FPD+ installed:
1 Turn off the GC and unplug the power cord.
2 Raise or remove the detector top cover.
3 Loosen the captive screws on the right side cover, slide the cover backwards, then remove.
4 Loosen the captive screw located on the left side of the electronics cover.
5 Reach under the back of the electronics cover to release the clip holding it in place, then
raise the electronics cover and remove.
With FPD+ installed:
1 Turn off the GC and unplug the power cord.
2 Raise or remove the detector top cover.
