Installing The Cp-8400/8410 - Agilent Technologies Varian CP-8400 Operator's Manual

To use the CP-8400 with the CP-3800 Gas Chromatograph, your
CP-3800 must have Version 3.2 or later software installed. The CP-8410
requires version 3.3 or later. To use SPME mode sample introduction
with either the CP-8400 or CP-8410 you must have Version 3.3.5 or later
software installed. To check the software version installed in your GC,
press the Status key on the GC keyboard, press the Enter key to show
instrument status, and then press the Software Version softkey. The
software version will be shown on the CP-3800 display. If your GC was
manufactured before October 1999 and you have two or more injectors
installed, you will need to schedule a service call with your Varian
Technical Support Representative to have the injector positions
relocated so that the CP-8400 can effectively use them.

Before installing the CP-8400 or CP-8410, make certain your CP-3800 is
equipped with the appropriate top cover. This cover will have a long
rectangular opening for the installation of the injector locator plate,
markings indicating the front and rear installation positions for the
AutoSampler, and a small rectangular opening to route the
CP-8400/8410 power/communication cable through.
There are two positions on the CP-3800 in which the CP-8400/8410 may
be installed: front and rear. The front position allows the CP-8400/8410
to use the front and middle injectors. The rear position allows the
CP-8400/8410 to use the middle and rear injectors. The CP-8400/8410 is
aligned to the top cover of the CP-3800 by a pair of pins protruding from
the bottom of the AutoSampler/AutoInjector base. These pins will fit into
holes on the top cover. The base is secured to the top cover via two
screws at the rear and three screws underneath the AutoSampler
carrousel/AutoInjector sample tray. The figures that accompany this
description depict a CP-8400 AutoSampler. They apply equally to both
the CP-8400 and CP-8410.
