Guidelines for prevention of damage
!
CAUTION
Carrier gas
The RGD detectors can be destroyed if operated at temperature without
flow. The carrier gas should remain flowing until all heated zones are
below 50o C (2 to 3 hours).
Line voltage
Do not connect the power cord to line voltage without checking the cor-
rect operating voltage on the label located on the rear of the instrument.
Carrier gas purifiers
External purifiers must be completely conditioned with gas flowing
through them before connection to the analyzer. Failure to properly con-
dition purifiers can result in serious contamination.
FID Flameignition
Do not ignite the FID flame unless the FID is at operation temperature.
Moisture will condense in an un-heated FID and will short-out the elec-
trometer input leads.
Shut down
Be sure all heated zones are shut off prior to disconnecting gas supply
lines. The carrier gas should remain flowing until all heated zones are
below 50o C (2 to 3 hours). After shutting off carrier gas, immediately cap
all open rear panel gas ports
Electrical signal cables
Turn power off before connecting or disconnecting electrical signal cables.
Damage to circuit boards could result.
PLEASE STUDY THIS MANUAL THOROUGHLY BEFORE IN-
STALLING OR OPERATING THE INSTRUMENT.
