Micro GC Fusion - Quick Start Guide

Micro GC Fusion®
Quick Start Guide
StepDescription

1

This quick start guide is designed to instruct the user on the steps required to install
Micro GC Fusion and assumes the user is familiar with gas chromatographs. It is recommended
that inexperienced users refer to 074-594-P1 Micro GC Fusion Operating Manual for in depth
procedures. The operating manual is available for download from the Micro GC Fusion productweb page located at www.inficon.com.

2

Proper site preparation prior to installing Micro GC Fusion is very important. Ensure all materialsoutlined by 074-615-P1 Micro GC Fusion Pre-Installation Checklist are readily available atthe installation site. The pre-installation checklist is available for download from theMicro GC Fusion product web page located at www.inficon.com.

CAUTIONGas cylinders may present a hazard under extreme temperature
conditions. Do not store gas cylinders in the path of heated ovenexhausts or other sources of heat. Do not expose cylinders toextreme cold or heat. It is recommended to store or placecylinders in a temperature controlled environment.
3Verify the contents of the order to assure Micro GC Fusion, accessories, consumables andcheckout gases are present and in acceptable condition.

4Unpack Micro GC Fusion and place it on a bench.

PN 074-666-P1C

CAUTION
Micro GC Fusion air pathways must remain unobstructed toallow cooling of the analytical column(s) following a temperature
programmed method run. Allow a minimum of 6.5 cm (2.5 in.)clearance to the top, the front, the back and both sides of theinstrument to provide unrestricted air flow to the instrument.

CAUTION
Ensure the Micro GC Fusion fan exhaust at the back of theinstrument is not blocked and the air flow through the bottom ofMicro GC Fusion is unobstructed.

5Description
Before connecting the carrier gas line(s) to Micro GC Fusion, assemble the carrier gas line(s)and purge them for 10 to 30 seconds at low pressure (5 – 10 psi) in order to remove air from theregulator and carrier gas line(s). Assemble in the following order: 1) regulator,
2) traps, 3) tubing and 4) particulate filter.

CAUTIONGas cylinders present a hazard when not secured properly.
Securely fasten all compressed gas cylinders to an immovablestructure or permanent wall. Store and handle compressed
gases in accordance with safety procedures.

WARNING
Wear eye protection when using compressed gas.

Connect the carrier gas particulate filter:
6a. Remove the shipping caps from the Micro GC Fusion carrier gas inlet.
6b. Install one carrier gas particulate filter (PN 059-0701) on the carrier gas supply tubingfor each carrier gas used, as shown below. Do not connect the tubing directly to
Micro GC Fusion.

CAUTIONThe carrier gas particulate filter prevents particles in the carriergas from entering Micro GC Fusion. Connecting carrier gas
tubing directly to the carrier gas inlet without installing thecarrier gas particulate filter may damage Micro GC Fusion.

7Connect the carrier gas line(s) to the Micro GC Fusion carrier gas inlet on the back of thechassis. CARRIER C1 will provide carrier gas to Module A and Module B if CARRIER C2 is notconfigured. CARRIER C2 will provide carrier gas to Module B only, if configured. On a 4-Modulechassis, CARRIER C3 will provide carrier gas to Module C and Module D if CARRIER C4 is notconfigured. CARRIER C4 will provide carrier gas to Module D only, if configured.

Set the output pressure on the dual-stage regulator on the carrier gas tank to 60 psi.

CAUTION
Carrier gas inlet (rear of instrument) pressure must be between
400 – 427 kPa (58 – 62 psi). Use a dual-stage regulator on thecarrier gas cylinder to ensure the pressure range is maintained.
Exceeding 427 kPa (62 psi) may damage Micro GC Fusion andrequire factory repair.
9

Install the sample inlet filter (PN 952-423-P1). Inspect the sample inlet filter assembly and verify
that the filter disk is in place. If not, place a filter disk between Part A and Part B of the filter
body and screw the parts together until finger-tight.
Place the dual-ended ferrule inside Part A. Connect the sample inlet filter to the sample inlet.
Turn Part A clockwise until finger-tight, then use a 5/16 in. wrench to tighten an additional
1/4 turn.
Connect the sample line to the male portion of filter Part B while stabilizing the sample inlet filter
assembly Part B with a 7/16 in. wrench.

CAUTIONPN 074-666-P1C

Do not overtighten the sample inlet filter assembly to
Micro GC Fusion. This will damage the dual-ended ferrule.
NOTE: If the Integrated Sample Conditioner is factory-installed, then the sample inlet filter
is not needed. The Integrated Sample Conditioner provides the same particle
filtering capability.
10If using a computer to communicate with Micro GC Fusion, connect one end of the LAN cable(PN 600-1190-P4) to the instrument RJ45 port. Connect the other end of the LAN cable to thecomputer, the network switch, or the router connected to the computer.

122-Module Micro GC Fusion

PN 074-666-P1C

The 2-Module Micro GC Fusion uses a 24 V (dc) Power Supply (PN 952-403-P1). Connect thecountry specific power cord supplied with the instrument to the appropriate port on the 24 V (dc)
power supply. Connect the 24 V (dc) power connector to Micro GC Fusion. Plug the other endof the power cord into an 100 - 240 V (ac) power socket. A click will be audible when the power
connector is properly connected.

4-Module Micro GC Fusion
The 4-module Micro GC Fusion uses a power supply that accepts 100-240 V (ac) input. A
24-volt power supply is built into the chassis, and is not required externally. Connect the power
cord to the AC power inlet and properly ground the instrument through the grounding connector.

Micro GC Fusion adopts a dynamic IP address and runs Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol(DHCP) by default. This means no static IP address is preassigned from the factory. When
Micro GC Fusion is connected to a computer through a direct Ethernet cable and the computer
is configured to accept an IP address automatically, Micro GC Fusion will dynamically assign anIP address to the computer such that both devices are connected automatically.

15In a supported web browser, type the hostname or IP address of Micro GC Fusion into theaddress bar and press the Enter key. The Micro GC Fusion main page will display.
NOTE: Web browsers including the latest version of Google Chrome, FireFox and Internet
Explorer are supported. Refer to 074-594-P1 Micro GC Fusion Operating Manual for
support on older web browser versions.
NOTE: Bonjour Print Service for Windows is required for a Windows computer to recognize
the hostname in a web browser. The software is available for download at
http://support.apple.com/kb/DL999.

Micro GC Fusion can be configured for Wi-Fi communication. Connect the Wi-Fi enabled device
to the Micro GC Fusion Wi-Fi network, which is <instrument serial number>.local. In a supported
web browser, type 10.10.0.1 into the address bar and press the Enter key. The Micro GC Fusion
main page will display.
