2.3.3 Installing the Gas Canisters
Insert the gas canisters into the HAPSITE, making sure to place the purple banded
canister in the top round opening and the yellow banded canister in the bottom.
To insert the canisters, place them into the opening with the valve facing into the
HAPSITE. When the canister is fully inserted, continue to push and then release
the "push" lever. Gently pull on the cans to make sure the cans are locked in place.
See Figure 2-10.
Figure 2-10 Canister Placement
Figure 2-11 Installing A Gas Canister
NOTE: The openings that hold the gas canisters are color-coded to ensure the
correct placement of the canisters. The upper opening is color-coded
purple, indicating the correct location of the purple-banded Nitrogen
Carrier Gas canister. The lower opening is color-coded yellow to indicate
the correct location of the yellow-banded Internal Standard canister. The
position of the gas canisters should not be interchanged. Do not force the
canisters into the wrong location. A teflon ring is positioned around the
inner stem on top of the Internal Standard canister. This ring prevents this
canister from being placed into the carrier gas canister location which
would result in contaminating the HAPSITE with internal standard.
