8 Maintenance
124 Operation Manual
Perform Maintenance
For many common maintenance procedures, your GC contains a detailed walkthrough of each
procedure. These procedures may be accessed by selecting Maintenance > your desired
component > Perform Maintenance. Once here, select your desired maintenance procedure,
and select Start Maintenance to begin the walkthrough.
Many maintenance procedures require you to put the GC in maintenance mode prior to
performing any maintenance. To do so, select Maintenance > Instrument > Perform
Maintenance, select the checkbox next to Maintenance Mode, and then select Start
Maintenance. Putting the GC into maintenance mode can additionally include:
• Setting low temperatures to avoid burns and other injuries
• Setting reduced flows to avoid safety hazards and to prevent damage to the instrument
• Venting a mass selective detector (MSD)
• Making other settings to prevent damage to the instrument (electronics, columns, and so
forth) or to connected instruments (MSD)
For example, to change the gas clean filter, select Maintenance > Instrument > Perform
Maintenance, select the checkbox next to Gas Clean Filter Maintenance, and then select Start
Maintenance. This cools down the required components of the GC, and then walks you
through the procedure for replacing the gas clean filter.
