them as a method
• If the detector is on, turn it off
Turn the inlet pressure off at the source.
Remove the column, if one is installed, and plug the column fitting with the
column nut and a no-hole ferrule.
Remove the old septum and replace it with a new one. For instructions,
see "Changing the septum".
