Chapter 7 Troubleshooting Also, it may be possible to stop fluctuation by changing the P term or the I term (to a value several times, or a fraction of, the original value). Use this method to stop fluctuation in urgent cases. 7.2 Temperature Control The temperature does not rise, or does not agree with the setting.
Chapter 7 Troubleshooting 7.3.2 FPD 1. Ignition is not possible. Cause Countermeasure The igniter filament has burnt out. Replace the igniter. 2. There is a lot, or a high level, of noise. Cause Countermeasure There is a fault in the photomultiplier. Replace the photomultiplier.
Chapter 7 Troubleshooting 2. Peaks are not output or are extremely small; FID used as detector. Cause Countermeasure If the igniter filament is red hot even though the ignition The hydrogen flame is out. operation is not being executed, this means that the hydrogen flame is out.

Chapter 7 Troubleshooting 3. The sample injection unit and the detector are not recognized. Cause Countermeasure Check the contact state and the caulking state of the recognized resistance. The recognized resistance values, measured between pins 1 and 2 on the connector, are as follows. SPL, WBI (both recognized as SPL): 1 kΩ...
Chapter 8 Service Window Chapter 8 Service Window This chapter describes the service window that is displayed by pressing the FUNC key, selecting 7. Service/Maintenance − 5. Service, and inputting the correct password in the password input window that is displayed. pf2: Displays the ID window.
Chapter 8 Service Window 8.1 Flow Adjust (CAR) This window can be used to set the control parameters for the carrier-gas flow controller (DAFC for DINJ, AFC for SPL-2014, or AFC for WBI-2014). If the set value and the actual measurement value of the flow rate or pressure differ, adjustment can be made by changing the Offset or Gain value.
Chapter 8 Service Window 8.2 Flow Adjust (DetAPC) (Options only) As an example, the window on the left shows the items displayed for H . The items are the same, however, for the APCs of air and make-up gas. The displayed contents may vary, however, depending on the type of Det APC.
Chapter 8 Service Window 8.4 Temp. Sensor Use Time This window is used to check or reset the temperature-sensor usage time for each unit. Note: The display items vary with the unit. With the GC-2014, the time for which the temperature sensor has been used at a temperature of 300ºC or higher is calculated.
Chapter 8 Service Window 8.6 Serial Number 8.6.1 Main Body Serial Number Up to 20 characters can be input. The unit serial number is input before shipment. This information is shown on self-diagnostic reports. If, for some reason, the serial number does not appear, it can be input from this window.
Chapter 8 Service Window 8.6.2 Unit Serial Numbers Note: The display items vary with the unit. This window can be used to check the serial numbers written in ROM for automatically recognized units. There is no display for some units. For example, the serial number for a single injection unit (SPL unit) cannot be checked.
Chapter 8 Service Window 8.8 Fan & LCD Use Time This window is used to reset the operation times of the column-oven fan and the LCD unit. Note: The settings for the "acceptable values" cannot be changed. Fan: 61320.0 hours (approx. 7 years) LCD: 46380.0 hours (approx.

Chapter 9 Appendix (9) After reconfirming the Installation (Position) and Installation (Piping) parameters that were recorded before the version upgrade (or after resetting them, if they have been deleted), reset the unit's power supply. (This is because changes in condition settings, such as the Installation (Position) and Installation (Piping) parameters, are only enabled when the power supply is reset.) (10) Press the FUNC key and select 3.
