90 Agilent Intuvo 9000 GC Installation
1 Installing the GC
Prepare for the next analysis.
After evaluating the GC under the checkout conditions,
installation checkout is complete. The next step is to prepare
the GC for your next analysis. Be sure to cool the GC before
making changes.
• Install the appropriate inlet hardware (can include septum,
liner, liner-O-ring, Guard chip or jumper chip, and so on).
• Install the appropriate detector hardware (wavelength filter
for FPD
+
).
• Change to any alternate gas sources as needed for the new
analysis.
• Install the desired column and condition it per the
manufacturer’s recommendations.
• Configure the GC to match any hardware or gas type changes
(liners, carrier or makeup gas types, and so on).
• Load or create the desired method.
If the GC will use a different configuration, for example, a
two-column setup, a backflush-capable setup, or a second
detector, install the necessary hardware now.
If installing a second column, remove the bus door air shield
from the bottom of the bus door so the door will accommodate
the second column. (See the Maintaining Your GC manual.)
