6 Model 5380 PFPD Operator’s Manual
Rev. 3.1
• Constant reignition minimizes “flameout” problems, common in standard
FPDs, that are caused by water and other solvents.
• WinPulse software provides real-time display of the emission resulting from
each flame pulse. It facilitates detector setup and configuration, optimization
of operating parameters, and troubleshooting without the use of an oscillo-
scope.
• Post-run processing of data through the use of optional PFPDView
™
software.
Specifications
Detector Linearity
• Sulfur—Quadratic in response. Linear over 2.5 orders of concentration, which
gives five orders of signal response.
• Phosphorus—First order linear over five orders of magnitude.
Detectivity
• Sulfur: < 1 pg S/sec
• Phosphorus: < 100 fg P/sec
Selectivity at Optimum Detectivity Levels
• Sulfur: > 10
6
S/C (or greater depending on gate settings)
• Phosphorus: > 10
6
P/C
(Selectivity is adjustable with a trade-off in detectivity.)
Column Flow Range
• Optimum performance: 1–3 mL/min
• Maximum: 5–6 mL/min
Drift
• Sulfur or Phosphorus: < 10x peak-to-peak noise in 20 min
Temperature Limitations
• Minimum: 180°C
• Maximum: 420°C
Heating Mode
• Direct heating by heater cartridge
• RTD (PRT) or thermocouple temperature sensing
Environmental Considerations:
• Humidity: 5%–80% relative humidity
• Temperature: 10°–40°C (Operating)
-20°– 65°C (Nonoperating)
• Altitude: Maximum 2,000 m
Controller Dimensions
• 8.75" H x 6" W x 13" D
• 22.2 cm H x 15.2 cm W x 33 cm D
