WARNING DO NOT SET THE CARRIER GAS INPUT PRESSURE HIGHER
THAN 450 kPa (65 psig; 4.5 bar), OTHERWISE THE VALVE MAY BE DAMAGED.
WARNING DO NOT USE HYDROGEN AS CARRIER GAS. The module is not
compatible with Hydrogen carrier gas. The same gas used as carrier gas is used to purge
and to actuate the valve and must be an inert gas.
a. Open the gas supplies.
b. Adjust the gas pressure to 450 kPa (65 psig; 4.5 bar), actuate the valve and remove the
pins.
You may need to increase the pressure a little to ease hand removal of the pins.
Remember, make sure to properly readjust the actuating operating pressure after
removing the pins, if you had to change it. Keeps these pins in a safe place.
18. For critical applications, where air diffusion must be the lowest possible, we suggest to
replace the purge vent tubing with the longer one provided. See
Figure 460. Purge Vent Tubing
a. Remove the purge valve tubing from the Purge Out port on the valve body.
b. Connect to the 24-in. long tubing from the Purge port on the valve body by using
the proper nut and ferrule.
19. Close the module flap cover.
20. If present, move the autosampler towards the to restore the original alignment.
