Installation and Setup

Normally you will install the outer components of the transfer line at

the GC and then at the TD. Lastly, you will run either the fused silica

transfer line or the analytical column, through the transfer line, from

the GC oven to the ATD/TD and make the required connections.

Installation Through the GC Rear Panel

Clarus 500 or AutoSystem XL—A cut out for the ATD/TD transfer

line is located on the rear panel of the AutoSystem XL. If the GC

PPC module is installed, then the rear panel has been replaced with

the PPC option and you must install the transfer line through an

empty injector or detector port on top of the instrument

Other GCs—If you are using another type of GC, you can use

another access hole on the rear panel. Alternatively, you can use an

empty injector or detector port on top of the instrument. See

Installing the Transfer Line Through the Top of the GC on page 64.

To install the heated transfer line, through the back of the GC:

1. Disconnect the GC from any electrical or gas supply.

2. You must bend the transfer line to fit between the rear of

the GC and the top of the ATD/TD. Observe a minimum

radius of 6 cm.

3. At the GC end, a bend leaving a straight length of

approximately 50 cm in the same plane and direction

should be made.

4. Position the ATD/TD to the right side of the GC. The

distance between the two instruments should be about

15 cm.

5. Feed the transfer line through the rear panel access hole

and then carefully remove the rear panel of the GC. The

1-inch access hole in the top right-hand corner of the

Do not make the bends too tight, as you will damage the

heater. It will also be difficult to feed the fused silica line

through the stainless steel sleeve.
