MAIN POWER SWITCH: A rocker switch provides control of the AC power for the entire
gas
chromatograph. When the GC power switch
is
turned
off, the built-in serial data acquisition
interface
is
also inactive, and communications
with
thecomputer cease.
COMPUTER SERIAL PORT INTERFACE: This port, a standard RS-232 serial
interface,
connects the gas chromatograph
to
any IBMPC-compatible desktop or notebook computer serial
port.
The computer collects the
data
and controls thegas chromatograph. Nodata storage occurs
in
the chromatograph. A six-foot DB-9
type
serial cable is provided for connection to
the
PC.
CARRIER GAS INLETS
(I
AND 2): The 8610C GC may
be
equipped
with
up
to
two
independent carrier gassystems for independent injectors, columns, and detectors.
An
important
advisorymessage, regarding the useofhelium carrier gasonly,
is
printed on the chassis
and
refers
to
all
8610C models. Adangerous condition could occur if hydrogen carrier
gas
were
being
used
and
a leak (such a break
in
the column) occured downstream of the pressure control circuitry. The
leak would not
be
detected by the system,
and
gas
would
be
continuously vented at
the
set
pressure, permitting explosive gas
to
accumulate
in
the vecinityof
the
chromatograph.
GAS INLETS: Stainless steel gas bulkhead fittings are provided for connection of
all
system
gases. Separate inlets are provided for sparge, FID, DELCO,
and
ECD gases. If the GC
is
equipped
with abuilt-in aircompressor, acompressed airoutlet
is
also
provided.
CHASSIS COOLING FAN:
This
fan
is
thermostatically-controUed and draws ambient
air
into
the
chassis electronics compartment tomaintain
the
internal electronic and pneumatic
components
ata
stable, controlled temperature. The temperature setpoint is pre-setatthe factory.
POWERCORD: Apermanently-attached six foot,
three-conductor
cord is provided for
connection
to a grounded II
OV
AC power outlet.
nov
AC models are supplied with the appropriate plug for
standard grounded 220V outlets. Never defeat the safety feature inherent
in
the grounded
cord
by
connecting it
to
a two-prong, ungrounded outlet.
