1 Introduction
Description of G2570A GC/MSD System
6850A GC/ MSD-Ready
This special configuration of the 6850A GC (firmware version A.02.04 or later) is
only available as part of the G2570A GC/MSD System. The gas chromatograph has
been modified as follows:
• The on/off power switch moved to the right side in the lower front corner.
• A hole pre-drilled in the left outer panel, insulation and oven wall to
accommodate the GC- MS interface heater.
• The GC-MS interface heater uses the detector heated zone.
• The Injector Mounting Bracket support relocated on the right side panel.
• The GC is configured only with a split/splitless inlet containing an unpacked,
single taper deactivated liner (Part No. 5181-3316).
• The use of a JetDirect card is NOT supported.
• The GC communicates with the MS only via the APG Start/Stop remote cable
(Part No. G1530-60930).
6850A GC Control Module
The firmware (version E.02.10 or later) of the GC Control Module has been
modified to recognize that the MSD is the only supported detector for the MSD-
Ready 6850A GC.
5973Network MSD
The G2577A diffusion pump EI MSD is the only MSD used in the G2570A system.
ChemStation Hardware and Software
The computer hardware sub-system (applicable PC, monitor, printer, hub, and
LAN cables) supports the use of one MSD. The G1701CA MSD Productivity
software is the same software as is used with other 5973N MSDs.
