Installing Optional Kits
Performing the Dual FPD Detector Configuration
434 TRACE 1600/1610 Hardware Manual
Note For writing convention, we consider the disassembling of the photomultiplier tube
from the FPD detector installed on the front detector control module, and the assembling
of the Dual FPD configuration on the FPD detector installed on the back detector
control module. We name them secondary FPD detector and primary FPD detector
respectively.
 To assemble the Dual FPD configuration
Note Some of the cleaning procedures in this section require the use of methanol.
If methanol is unavailable or prohibited, substitute LCMS-grade or GC-grade ethanol
or isopropyl alcohol. Do not use denatured ethanol as it may contain impurities that
contaminate the GC-MS system.
Materials needed
Dual FPD Upgrade Kit PN 19050783

5/16-in tube wrench
Initial operations
1. Put the GC in standby condition.
2. Switch off the flame. Hydrogen and air are automatically closed.
3. Cool the detector to room temperature.
Note By pressing the Maintenance button, the GC cool down is automatically
carried out.
4. Power off the GC.
a. Push down the power switch (breaker), located at the back of the instrument, to the
position O.
b. Unplug the power cable from the AC Input connector into the back of the GC and
from the wall outlet.
