Falcon GC
5. Separating the FID
i. After everything has been disconnected, grasp the FID
oven body and gently slide it away from the oven. There
may be an FID installed on the other side of the GC as
well.
ii. The FID should slide free easily. Do NOT pull on the FID
if there is resistance. Check for any connections still
attached to the FID.
iii. Take care to preserve the insulating foam ring around the
body of the FID against the injector oven. This will need
to be put back in place upon new FID installation.
Note: When re-installing the FID, be sure to cap or plug the
sample inlet fitting so that foam debris does not enter the
end fitting.
Note: The above picture shows the FID installed on Channel 2.
Typically all IGDL units have the FID installed on channel 1
(to the left of the oven) thus the FID would be pulled the
opposite way.
