This manual details the routine tasks needed to maintain the
7697A Headspace Sampler (Headspace). The procedures
assume a basic knowledge of tool use and of Headspace
operation. Readers are, for example, expected to know how
to:
• Safely turn devices on and off
• Prepare and run samples
• Enter and develop methods
• Make typical pneumatic connections using Swagelok and
other standard fittings
Included in this manual are sections on maintaining the
following Headspace components:
• Fused silica column
• Transfer line
• Sample needle
• Sample loop
• 6 port valve
• Oven
• Vial racks
Both the Headspace and Agilent Instrument Utilities include
the capability to alert users of upcoming maintenance needs.
This feature, called Early Maintenance Feedback, notifies
users when a counter (such as a gripper pad counter, valve
loop counter, or probe cycle counter) has reached the
specified maintenance point. After performing the required
maintenance, reset the applicable counter. Refer to the
Operation manual for details about this feature.
