a. Connect the 2-pin connector marked Cryo Valves - Front Inlet or Cryo Valves-Back
Inlet to the cryo solenoid valve using the cable provided. See
Figure 26. Cryo Valves: Front/Back Inlet
b. Using the cable provided, connect the 15-pin female connector marked GC Bus on
the module to a Bus interface on the back of the GC.
c. Plug the power cable to the AC Input connector on the front of the module and to

This section provides instruction for opening the duct to introduce the transfer line inner
tube into the oven of your TRACE 1600/1610 version for MS.
According to the mass spectrometer unit to couple, see the following sections:
• "Making the Duct Couple with an ISQ Series or TSQ Series Mass Spectrometer"
page 24.
• "Making the Duct to Couple with a DFS, IRMS, or ICP-MS Mass Spectrometer"
page 27.
 To make the duct for the transfer line
1. Remove the left side panel.
a. Open the front door of the GC.
b. Use a T20 Torxhead screwdriver to loosen the left side panel screw from the interior
front panel. See
Back Inlet Cryo Valve
Figure 27. Save the screw because it will be reused later.
