Installation and Setup

Introduction

Before the instrument arrived, you may have received the

pre-installation checklist given in this chapter to ensure that your lab

is setup correctly. If you did not receive the checklist, refer to the

pre-installation checklist in this section to ensure that you have

enough space for the GC and all the related support equipment and

that the electrical and gas supplies meet the requirements of the

ATD /TD .

Installation consists of the following 7 steps:

1. Unpack the ATD/TD and site it correctly up on the lab

bench.

2. Connect gas and electrical supplies to the ATD/TD.

3. Connect gas and electrical supplies to the GC.

4. If you are using the Control Software, you must

connect and configure a suitable PC.

5. Connect any optional accessories.

6. Leak test the system.

7. Perform a test run to ensure all system components are

operational.

Normally, a PerkinElmer service technician will install and

configure your instrument. Installation and setup of the ATD/TD is

relatively straightforward. The instructions provided here are for the

experienced user.
