3 Ignite the FPD+ flame, if not lit.
4 Display the signal output and monitor. This output typically runs around 10. Wait for the
output to stabilize. This takes approximately 1 hour.
If the baseline output is too high:
• Check column installation. If installed too high, the stationary phase burns in the flame
and increases measured output.
• Check for leaks.
• Bake out the detector and column at 250 °C.
• Wrong flows set for installed filter.
If the baseline output is zero, verify the electrometer is on and the flame is lit.
5 If using a data system, prepare the data system to perform one run using the loaded
checkout method. Make sure that the data system will output a chromatogram.
6 Start the run.
