Installing the Column in the GC/MS Interface
1 If the GC/MSD system is under vacuum, vent the system and open the
analyzer chamber using the procedure in the 5973N MSD Hardware
Manual (Part No. G2589-90001).
2 Carefully unwind the detector end of the GC column until the 3 o'clock
clip is reached.
3 Slide an interface column nut (Part No. 05988-20066) and appropriately
sized GC/MSD interface ferrule onto the detector end of the GC column.
The tapered end of the ferrule must point towards the nut.
4 Slide the column into the GC/MS interface until the column protrudes into
the analyzer chamber at least 5 cm.
5 Adjust the length of the column from the 3 o'clock clip to the back of the
interface column nut to be 22-28 cm.
6 Hand tighten the interface nut.
7 Carefully close the oven door and make sure the column does not develop
sharp bends nor touch the oven walls/floor. Try this several times.
