Starting the system
The instrument power switch is a rocker type, located on the front of the
instrument on the left-hand side. Switch the power switch to 'I' to start the system.
The green indicator light will come on.
For instructions on how to start any accessories, refer to the manuals supplied

Pre-analysis checklist
The general preparation procedure is as follows:
1
Install all the required hardware, including any associated accessories such as
SIPS, according to the instructions in the Help (see Page 51) and any
accessory manuals.
2
Turn on the instrument and any peripheral accessories as described in the
previous section.
3
Hold a thin single-ply tissue up to the mouth of the extraction hood to ensure
that the exhaust system is working. The tissue should be drawn towards the
hood.
4
Check the gas supplies to make sure that you have enough gas to complete
your analysis. Also, check that the acetylene cylinder pressure is above 700
kPa (about 100 psi) to ensure that acetone is not drawn into the instrument.
