Connect to air or carrier gas
The instrument cannot operate without a carrier gas connection. The carrier gas must not contain
carbon dioxide. Use the supplied gas inlet tubing to connect to carbon dioxide-free air, oxygen or
nitrogen.
1. Make sure that the pressure on the carrier gas cylinder regulator is 241 to 689 kPA (35 to
100 psi).
2. Make sure that both ends of the supplied tubing (⅛ in. outer diameter) are evenly cut and clean.
3. Put one end of the tubing into the gas inlet port on the rear of the instrument. Refer to
on page 6.
4. Connect the other end of the tubing to the carrier gas supply.
5. Examine the tubing and connections for leaks. If necessary, make adjustments.
