Maintenance Supplies and Tools

Thermo Scientific
IMPORTANT All the maintenance operations must be carried out at low temperature to
avoid burns. Therefore, before beginning the sequence, the GC oven, injectors and
detectors must be cooled to room temperature, and then the gases supply must be closed.
You can carry out these operations manually, or by pressing the Maintenance key. For
details refer to the TRACE 1600/1610 User Guide.
At the end of the maintenance operations, restore the GC normal working conditions.
Maintenance of an injector
Before opening the injector for maintenance, turn the carrier gas off, and wait for the
carrier pressure to go to zero.
When an autosampler is present:
Move the autosampler away from the injector module to create free space around it:
• If an AI 1610/AS 1610 or AI/AS 1310 is installed, pull the sampler support plate
outwards.
• If a TriPlus RSH, TriPlus 100 Liquid Sampler, or TriPlus is installed, make sure that
the standby turret position does not obstruct the injector or detector module. If yes,
change the position of the turret/head.
