Inspecting Consumable Items and Maintenance
Parts
Check the state of the GC/MS consumable items using the procedure described below.
1
Move the mouse pointer over the icon for a consumable item in the instrument monitor
to display the current state and the recommended replacement point for the
corresponding item.
When a consumable item approaches its recommended maximum usage frequency, the background of
the corresponding icon turns black to alert the user.
This note is shown when mouse pointer is moved over the septum icon. This means that the septum has
been used 13 times out of a maximum 100 times.
When replacing the analysis column, or when a consumable item has passed its recommended
replacement point, perform maintenance with reference to "Appendix D Maintenance" P.83.
Depending on the analysis content, the appropriate replacement frequency may be greater than the
recommended frequency.
