The analytical valves require actuation gas to operate. When helium is used as a carrier
gas, the default configuration is to also use helium as the actuation gas.

arrangement that permits the replacement of empty cylinders without disrupting
the operation of the analyzer.
The manifold arrangement can be a manual valve arrangement or a commercially

carrier gas from the bottle pressure.
WARNING
High pressures may damage the analyzer and cause an unsafe environment.
If using helium, regulate the carrier gas to 90 psig (6.2 barg).
If using hydrogen, regulate the carrier gas to 30 psig (2.1 barg).
Use a dual-stage regulator to ensure the outlet pressure will not change
with changes in the bottle pressure. Use stainless steel diaphragms to avoid
contaminating the analytical oven.

NOTICE
Only blow out the external lines on the sample handling system.
Blowing out the interior GC lines may damage equipment.
