This guide describes how to install the Agilent 7697A

Headspace Sampler (HS). This guide assumes that the GC is

installed, configured, and operating properly, along with any

associated data system.

This chapter describes the installation steps to unpack and

install the instrument. The next chapter describes how to

start up the HS for the first time and verify it is operating

properly.

8Installation and First Startup

1Installation

Verify site preparation

Verify that the site has been prepared according to the site

preparation manual. Sufficient bench space, power supply

receptacles, supplies, gases, traps, required accessories, and

so forth must be available.

Prepare the GC and data system

If not already installed, install the gas chromatograph and

verify its performance before beginning HS installation.

•Install the GC.

•Install the data system.

•Verify GC and data system performance.

•Cool all heated zones in the GC to safe handling

temperatures, especially the column oven and the inlet.

HS installation requires carrier gas flow interruption,

which can damage a hot column. HS installation requires

contact with the GC inlet, which can be hot enough to

cause burns.

•If you purchased the add- on HS control software, install

it after installing the data system.

Determine how you will connect the headspace sampler to the GC

How you connect the headspace sampler to the GC depends

on:

•The GC model

•The GC inlet type

•Optional HS accessories

•Whether or not you need to also use this same GC inlet

for other injection types (ALS or manual, for example)

See Table 3. Determine the connection best suited to your

hardware and needs.

performance for samples with analytes

such as high weight alkenes (C40).

•Best performance for widest range of

analyses.

•Supports frequent column changes.

•Reduces potential for leaks.

•With GC control of carrier flow, HS must be

On for non-HS injections.
