What to do if carrier gas still leaks after tightening the O-ring on Shimadzu Laboratory Equipment?
If carrier gas continues to leak from your Shimadzu Laboratory Equipment even after tightening the O-ring, replace it, as it may be deteriorated.
How to resolve unstable inlet pressure in Shimadzu GC-2014 Laboratory Equipment?
If the inlet pressure fluctuates (unstable) in your Shimadzu Laboratory Equipment, first check that [I time] = "1", [P term] = "100", and [I term] = "150". If not, enter these values and press the pf4 key to write them in the ROM. If using a glass insert for WBI, adjust the column insertion length to approximately 15 mm (normally 34 mm). Additionally, set the inlet pressure to 0 kPa and the total flowrate to 400 mL/min to check the flow-line resistance of the split line. Finally, ensure there is no clogging in the purge-line flow line.
How to reduce noise in Shimadzu Laboratory Equipment (FID)?
If you're experiencing a lot of noise (high level) with the FID on your Shimadzu Laboratory Equipment, the collector might be dirty. Try removing the igniter and cleaning the metal portion of the collector with a liquid like hexane. Alternatively, the H flowrate may be fluctuating, in which case you should replace the APC.
What to do if ignition is not possible in Shimadzu GC-2014 Laboratory Equipment (FID)?
If experiencing ignition issues with the FID in your Shimadzu Laboratory Equipment, the igniter filament may have burnt out, requiring replacement. Another potential cause is a fault in the igniter circuit; check the voltage at both ends of the connector (between 1 (+) and 2 (-) of CN2) during ignition with the igniter filament connected. Lastly, the nozzle might be clogged with sample or graphite ferrule residue; clean (using, for example, CLEANING WIRE, 201-79229-01) or replace the nozzle.
What causes the total flowrate to be higher than the setting in Shimadzu Laboratory Equipment?
If the total flowrate is higher than the setting in your Shimadzu Laboratory Equipment, verify that [I time] = "1", [P term] = "15", and [I term] = "40". If not, enter these values and press the pf4 key to write them in the ROM. Also, check the [Offset] and [Gain] values for the flowrate. If the gas continues to flow into the carrier line even when the power is off, the AFC may need replacement.
How to improve poor retention time reproducibility on Shimadzu Laboratory Equipment?
To improve poor retention time reproducibility on your Shimadzu Laboratory Equipment: * Condition the septum. * Re-pack the silica wool in the glass insert. * Cleanse the glass insert.
Why are ghost peaks detected in my Shimadzu Laboratory Equipment?
Ghost peaks in your Shimadzu Laboratory Equipment may be due to: * Septum issues: Condition the septum. * Silica wool position: Re-pack the silica wool in the glass insert. * Stains in the glass insert: Cleanse the glass insert. * Capillary column issues: Condition the capillary column.
What causes poor peak area reproducibility in Shimadzu Laboratory Equipment?
Poor peak area reproducibility in Shimadzu Laboratory Equipment can stem from: * Septum problems: Condition the septum. * Silica wool issues: Re-pack the silica wool in the glass insert. * Stains in the glass insert: Cleanse the glass insert.
Why is the display dark or going out on my Shimadzu Laboratory Equipment?
If the display is dark or goes out on your Shimadzu Laboratory Equipment, try readjusting the backlight ON/OFF and contrast settings. If that doesn't work, the value set for automatic OFF operation of the backlight in [Other configuration settings] may be inappropriate; try changing this value.
How do I troubleshoot high noise levels in Shimadzu GC-2014 Laboratory Equipment (FPD)?
If you're experiencing a lot of noise (high level) with the FPD on your Shimadzu Laboratory Equipment, the photomultiplier may be faulty, requiring replacement. Alternatively, the H flowrate may be fluctuating, in which case you should replace the APC.
