4.11.1 Maintenance intervals
In the following cases, inspect / replace the igniter, and also inspect / maintain the FID as required.
• When you can not ignite the FID
• When peaks do not appear
• When noise is significant
• When peak shape is abnormal
WARNING
Before inspecting the FID, ALWAYS make sure the following are observed.
1. Stop supplying hydrogen gas to extinguish the hydrogen flame.
2. Let the detector cool until its temperature drops below 40C.
3. Turn off the instrument.
4. Remove capillary column from the FID.
RISK OF BURNSNEVER inspect / maintenance FID, when it is at high temperature.
CAUTION
To prevent screws and nuts from burning, DO NOT turn them or force the fitted part to move when the FID is at
high temperature.
NOTE
For the handling of FID, refer to the instruction manual Chp.13 [Detectors "DET"].
