Start-Up Procedure
1Turn on the GC and set the carrier flow rate.
2Turn on the hydrogen and oxygen to the Dual Plasma Controller.
3Turn the Detector from STANDBY to ON.
4Press the PUMP button until the red LED illuminates. Make sure the vacuum pump is running.
5Turn on the oxygen to the ozone generator and set the regulator inside the front door of the Detector to between 3 and 6 psig.
6Allow the system to evacuate for approximately 1 minute before turning on the ozone at the front panel. A properly functioning system will show a background signal deflection between the ozone on and ozone off.
7Turn ON the Dual Plasma Controller using the ON/OFF switch on the rear panel of the Controller. As the Burner heats, the SCD or NCD background will increase and then slowly decrease. The hydrogen and oxidant flow will automatically start when the temperature of the Burner rises above approximately 325 °C.
8Check the LCD display of Dual Plasma Controller to confirm that all pressure, temperature, and signal responses are within the desired specifications.
