Maintenance
Burner head surface
The condition of the top surface of the burner head along the slot influences the
stability of the signals. Discard the burner head if the top surface is corroded.
Pre-Conditioning a New Burner or Drain Tube
This procedure should be done directly after installation of a new burner and
repeated if the drain tube or any of the sample introduction system components are
replaced.
In order for a new sample introduction system to aspirate sample and drain
smoothly, all the internal surfaces need to be prepared. This is easily accomplished
by aspirating a 0.1% Triton X-100 solution for approximately five minutes.
Removing the Burner Assembly From the Instrument
1. Extinguish the flame, turn off the gases, and switch off the instrument. Let the
burner head cool. Open the burner door.
2. Disconnect the drain tube, unplug the drain interlock connector.
3. Locate and press the locking pin down, and push the locking lever backward
to disengage the whole burner assembly. The burner assembly will be pushed
forward, and can now be removed. See the following figure.
Note
This important procedure MUST be performed when a new burner or
drain tubing is installed.
