WARNING Make sure all the four o-rings are placed into their seats on the gas
connection. See Figure
2. Plug the detector module into the main frame.
a. Open the module flap cover.
b. Keeping the module flap cover open, place the module in its seat.
Be sure to insert the 25-pin male connector on the bottom of the module into the
25-pin female connector on the detector seat of the detector housing.
c. Use a T20 Torxhead screwdriver to tighten the three captive fixing screws evenly and
carefully without overtightening.
CAUTION To maintain the correct alignment the screws must be tightened in turn, and
each screw must be tightened only a small amount before moving to the next screw.
Repeat until all are secure.
d. Close the module flap cover.
3. Continue the installation following the instructions in the section
Supply Plumbing Connections"
Make plumbing connections between the gas supply lines and the GC gas inlets on the
instrument back using the proper fittings
CAUTION DO NOT loosen or remove caps from the TRACE 1300/TRACE 1310 until
you have purged gas lines, and you are ready to connect them. Loosening or removing
caps early will contaminate instruments and filters.
WARNING Before using gases, carefully read the hazard indications and information
reported in the Safety Sheet supplied by the manufacturer referring to the CAS (Chemical
Abstract Service) number. It is the user's responsibility to see that all local safety
regulations for the use of gases are obeyed.
All Thermo Fisher Scientific gas chromatographs use an inert gas as the carrier gas. If you
wish to use hydrogen as a carrier gas, you must install a hydrogen sensor. Contact a
Thermo Fisher Scientific sales representative if you plan to use hydrogen as the carrier gas
in your new TRACE 1300/TRACE 1310. If you don't have the hydrogen sensor, you
must use an inert carrier gas.
Thermo Fisher Scientific FSEs are not authorized to install or repair any instrument using
hydrogen as a carrier gas unless the instrument is equipped with the appropriate sensor.
3. Do not install the module if the o-rings are missing.
