Your 6820 User Information Products

Available Learning Products The learning products for the Agilent Technologies 6820 Gas

Chromatograph (GC) consist of four manuals and a poster. Use

the poster as a guide during installation of your new

instrument. The five manuals are provided in a printable format

on the CD-ROM (part number G1176-90005) included with the

GC.

The easiest way to access the manuals on the CD is to insert it

into a computer CD drive, browse to the CD, and run the file

setup.exe. This installation program will put shortcuts in your

computer’s Start menu that will link to the manuals (either

copied to your computer’s hard drive or on the CD-ROM). In

Microsoft® Windows® 2000 and XP®, these shortcuts will be

installed in the following path (by default):

Start/All Programs/Agilent/6820 (XP)

Start/Programs/Agilent/6820 (2000)

Alternately, you can browse the CD-ROM, and open the files

directly.

Site Preparation and

Installation

The documents listed below are designed to quickly and easily

guide you through the process of installing and verifying the

performance of the 6820 GC.

Installation Poster

Start here. This poster provides an overview of the installation

process and summarizes important safety information about

the instrument. For each installation step, find detailed

instructions in the Getting Started manual.

Getting Started (this manual)

Read this during installation and setup. This guide provides

detailed site preparation information and the step-by-step

instructions you will need to:

1Prepare your working space

2Provide the appropriate GC supplies

3Install the GC hardware

8Getting Started

4Install the GC software (if using Cerity Chemical)

5Configure the GC for use

6Verify that the GC is working properly

By following these steps you will also learn some simple but

important operating tasks that you will perform frequently.

Daily Use and Operation Operation

This guide provides all supplemental information and

procedures needed for everyday GC operation. Read the

Operation manual to learn:

• Important GC features

• How to use the controls to run samples

• How the GC provides feedback to you about its performance

• How to program analysis settings

• How to program the 6820 to automate tasks

• How the GC components (inlet, detector, column oven, etc.)

can impact your analysis

• How to configure the GC when changing or modifying

hardware

• How to safely shut down the GC when not in use

• How to work safely when using the electron capture detector

by using highly recommended safety precautions

When You Need More

Information

When you are ready to learn more about your instrument or if

the instrument is in need of maintenance, refer to the following

manuals as needed. The information in them is arranged so that

you can learn at your own pace, reading only the information

you need.

Maintenance and Troubleshooting

This manual provides troubleshooting information and

procedures, and also step-by-step maintenance procedures. It

describes:

• What error messages mean and what to do about them

• Chromatographic troubleshooting techniques

• How to replace consumable items, such as inlet liners and

septa

• How to perform simple performance enhancement

procedures, such as detector thermal cleaning

• How to diagnose and resolve certain hardware-related

performance and operating problems

10 Getting Started

In This Guide…

This document is concerned with installing the 6820 Gas

Chromatograph (the GC) in your laboratory, connecting it to

your data recording or processing equipment, and verifying that

it is operating correctly.

1 The 6820 Gas Chromatograph

A general description of the GC appears in this chapter. It

includes general warnings (heat, shock, etc.) that apply to the

entire GC.

2 Site Preparation

This chapter describes the things you must do (or have done)

before installing the GC in your laboratory.

3 Installing the GC

This chapter contains installation procedures for the GC. Most

of the steps apply to all GC systems. Some are optional, such as

plumbing for valve actuator air.

4 Preparing for Operation

Before checking the performance of your GC, perform the

preliminary steps described in this chapter.

5 Checking Performance

To check the performance of your GC, run the sample mixture

for your detectors as described in this chapter.

ASwagelokConnections

The GC and gas tubing use many Swagelok fittings. If you are not

familiar with Swagelok connections, review these procedures.

B Factory Plumbing

The factory standard plumbing designs—how you may expect

the GC to be plumbed when you unpack it—appear here.
