Micro GC Fusion® External Sample Conditioner
1 / 19 074-732-P1A Micro GC Fusion External Sample
Conditioner Installation Sheet
Introduction
Micro GC Fusion can be damaged by high pressure samples, especially those containing contaminants, such as condensing aerosols. The
external sample conditioner (PN 952-004-G1) maintains the sample at > 50°C (122°F) and reduces the sample pressure from up to 5516
kPa (800 psi) down to approximately 0-172 kPa (0-25 psi) prior to the sample being introduced to Micro GC Fusion. This minimizes the
introduction of contaminants and aerosols onto Micro GC Fusion.
The external sample conditioner can be installed on the front of a 2-module Micro GC Fusion and transported into the field for direct
analysis.
CAUTION
Micro GC Fusion is intended for gas sampling only. Liquid injections will damage the instrument.
WARNING
Gas pressure on the external sample conditioner vent may be up to 5516 kPa (800 psi). Extreme caution must
be taken when venting the high pressure sample to avoid personal injury.
WARNING
The external sample conditioner is rated for 5516 kPa (800 psi) input sample pressure.

WARNING
Do not open the instrument case. There are no user-serviceable components within the instrument case.
Dangerous voltages may be present whenever power is present. Refer all maintenance to qualified personnel.
CAUTION
Do not use the product in a manner not specified by the manufacturer. If the product is used in a manner not
specified by the manufacturer, the protection provided by the equipment may be impaired.
CAUTION
Use caution when mounting the external sample conditioner to a fixed position. Ensure there is enough room
to disconnect the power cord when needed.
WARNING
When working with chemicals, follow PPE guidelines listed in chemical safety data sheets (SDS).

Installation
CAUTION
Use caution when mounting the external sample conditioner to a fixed position. Ensure there is enough room
to disconnect the power cord when needed.
The external sample conditioner can be installed on the 2-module Micro GC Fusion. The external sample conditioner is factory pre-
assembled, and can be easily mounted onto Micro GC Fusion during instrument installation.
1
Verify that the contents of the accessory kit are correct.
2
Remove all of the parts from the packaging.
3
Attach the external sample conditioner slide plate to the bottom of the device using a 2.5 mm hex driver.
4
Attach the 1/16 in. sample transfer line with the rubber insulation sleeve onto the external sample conditioner using a 5/16 in. open-
ended wrench.
5
Slide the bottom mounting bracket underneath Micro GC Fusion and align the feet with the dedicated holes.

6
Slide the top bracket over Micro GC Fusion and the threads from the bottom bracket.
7
Align the screws on both sides of the chassis.
8
Place the wing nuts on the bottom bracket threads and hand-tighten. Ensure that the top bracket is pressed downward and is tightly
secured to Micro GC Fusion.
9
Using a 3 mm hex driver, slightly thread the M4 screws into the holes on the bottom bracket, near the chassis of Micro GC Fusion.

WARNING
Safely vent sample stream vent ports using the appropriate sized tubing for each connection. Potentially toxic,
noxious, asphyxiant (oxygen displacing) or flammable gasses should be vented outside Micro GC Fusion and
away from the operating area. Vent toxic gases to a fume hood, chemical trap, or reaction medium.

Operation
1
Attach a 1/4 in. male Quick Connect (PN 059-0808S) to the sample line.
2
Set the sample line pressure regulator to < 5515 kPa (800 psi).
WARNING
A pressure regulator must be present on the sample line to ensure that the sample does not exceed 5515 kPa
(800 psi).
3
Attach the 1/4 in. male Quick Connect to the external sample conditioner female quick connect port. It will click into place.
4
Before turning the sample on, ensure the manual valve is in the Vent position.
WARNING
Safely vent sample stream vent ports using the appropriate sized tubing for each connection. Potentially toxic,
noxious, asphyxiant (oxygen displacing) or flammable gasses should be vented outside Micro GC Fusion and
away from the operating area. Vent toxic gases to a fume hood, chemical trap, or reaction medium.

5
Turn the sample on and purge for the desired time to ensure an accurate sample. This time will vary depending upon amount of
sample available and the length of the sample line.
WARNING
Gas pressure on the HIGH PRESSURE PURGE VENT may be up to 5515 kPa (800 psi). Extreme caution
must be taken to avoid personal injury.
6
Turn the manual valve to the Sample position.
7
Conduct a run using Micro GC Fusion software.
8
When finished with the sample, shut off the gas source.
9
To depressurize the system, slowly turn the manual valve halfway towards the Vent position.
10
Monitor the pressure regulator on the sample line. When the regulator reads 0 psi, the external sample conditioner is depressurized
and it is safe to remove the sample line.
11
Press on the female Quick Connect fitting to release the sample line.
