226 Maintaining Your GC
11 Maintaining the FID
To Install the FID Insulation Cup Assembly (Adaptable FID Only)
1 Gather the following:
• Insulation (See “Consumables and Parts for the FID”
on page 196.)
• 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.
Be careful! The detector may be hot enough to cause burns. If the
detector is hot, wear heat-resistant gloves to protect your hands.
