3. Replace the encapsulated flow restrictor with the ones required by the third-party
detector, then reinstall the manifold proceeding in the reverse order in which it was
removed.
4. Calibrate the new full scale of the flow restrictor.
a. In the GDI Configuration page, set gas type to the real gas in use and full scale to
100 mL/min whatever restrictor is installed.
See the section "Configuring and Setting GDI Detector"
Chapter 2 and Chapter 4 of the TRACE 1600/1610 User Guide.
b. Set relevant channel flow rate in the Method/Instrument Control page to the full
scale value (100 mL/min). Make sure the gas input pressure is at least 60 psig
(414 kPa), and verify that the actual flow displayed by the GC reaches 100 mL/min
as set.
See the section "Configuring and Setting GDI Detector"
Chapter 2 and Chapter 4 of the TRACE 1600/1610 User Guide.
c. Check the real flow rate with an external flowmeter.
d. Use the real reading of the flowmeter as the new full scale, and set it in the GDI
Configuration page.
This section provides the instruction for installing and connecting the GDI electrical
interface.
CAUTION It is mandatory that the GDI electrical interface must be placed into an
housing on the back of the GC. If both the housings are already occupied by other
external modules, one of these must be removed and placed beside the GC, and in the
most comfortable position for the user to have free access to the connections.
ATTENTION L'interface électrique GDI doit être obligatoirement placée dans un boîtier à
l'arrière du GC. Si les deux boîtiers sont déjà occupés par d'autres modules externes, l'un
d'eux doit être retiré et placé à côté du GC de manière à ce que l'utilisateur puisse accéder
facilement aux branchements.
 To install and connect the GDI electrical interface
1. Remove the cover of the external modules housing where installing the module.
