3000 Micro GC Operating Manual
8.3.6.2 Using a Transfer Line or Other Continuous Sample Source
1 The Heated Regulator accessory must be installed as instructed in section
5.1.6, Installing Heated Sample Introduction Accessories, on page 5-17.
CAUTION
Liquids and particulates can damage 3000 Micro GC.
A user-provided heated separator and an inline filter,
between the sample source and 3000 Micro GC, should
be installed. These devices will eliminate liquids and
most particulates from the gas stream.
CAUTION
To prevent sample condensation, the transfer line should
be heated, from the sample source to the Heated
Regulator, to a temperature determined by sample
composition and pressure.
CAUTION
Shut off the sample stream through the transfer line
before connecting the transfer line to 3000 Micro GC.
This will prevent high temperatures and pressures from
damaging 3000 Micro GC.
WARNING
Vent the high and low pressure exhausts to a safe
environment, such as a fume hood or dedicated exhaust.
When 3000 Micro GC used in a vehicle, vent the high and
low pressure exhausts outside of the vehicle and away
from any sources of ignition.
2 Shut off any gas flow through the sample transfer line, if it is not connected to
the Heated Regulator.
3 If necessary, purge the transfer line.
4 Turn 3000 Micro GC on.
5 Wait three minutes for 3000 Micro GC to fully power up.
