Agilent 7890 Series Troubleshooting
To recover from a hydrogen shutdown state:
1
Fix the cause of the shutdown:
• Replace the inlet septum. See the
• Replace the inlet O-ring. See the
• Check for broken column.
• Check the supply pressure. Make sure the gas supply
meets the pressure recommendations listed in the
GC, GC/MS, and ALS Site Preparation
• Check the system for leaks. See
2
Power cycle the GC.
3
After the GC powers back on, press the key for the device
that initiated the shutdown. Scroll to the pneumatic
parameter that is flashing Off, then press [On] or [Off]. For
example, if the front inlet ran out of carrier gas, press [Front
Inlet], scroll to the pressure or flow parameter, then press
[On].
• After a column shutdown, you can turn on a detector gas
flow even if the keyboard is locked by a data system.
If equipped with the optional hydrogen sensor, the GC will
perform a hydrogen safety shutdown if the sensor measures an
uncombusted hydrogen concentration of about 1 % in the oven
(about 25 % of the lower explosive limit for hydrogen).
