4
Start the GC.
Press [Start GC] (PF1 key).
After the unit starts, the carrier gas starts to flow.
5
Check if there is leakage at connections.
(1) Pressing , verify the carrier gas is flowing
at your specified values.
(2) Check for the leakage by applying leak-detecting
fluid to the connections, or other methods.
 If you found leakage…
If you found leakage at the sections described above,
follow the next instruction. After that, perform the leak
check again.
• Septum inlet: Replace the septum.
• Around injection port:
Retighten the column adaptor, or
replace it.
• Column connections:
Replace the graphite ferrule or
the column nut.
NOTE
To determine where the gas is leaking, use a leak
detector.
