Thermo Fisher Scientific TRACE 1300/1310 Installation guide

Hello! I've reviewed the Installation Note for the TRACE 1300/1310 GSV. This document provides essential instructions for setting up your gas sampling valve, including removing the relief pins and using the appropriate carrier gas pressure and type. I'm here to answer any questions you have about the installation process or operating guidelines detailed in this document.
What should I do with the relief pins?

What is the correct carrier gas input pressure?

Can I use hydrogen as a carrier gas?

What is the purpose of the carrier gas?

TRACE 1300/1310: Gas Sampling Valve (GSV)

Installation Note

IMPORTANT The valve is delivered with relief pins inserted. These pins MUST BE removed after

module installation for normal valve operation.

Once module has been installed and carrier gas input pressure has been adjusted to

450 kPa (65 psig; 4.5 bar) turn the GC on and the pins can be easily removed with the

help of a tweezers (valve is normally pressurized and pins can be then removed). You may

need to temporarily increase the pressure a little to ease hand removal of the pins.

Remember, make sure to properly readjust the actuating operating pressure (carrier gas

input pressure) after removing the pins, if you had to change it. Keeps these pins in a safe

place. It is good practice to re-install the relief pins if the valve is not used for a long time.

For details refer to the instructions provided by the valve manufacturer.

WARNING DO NOT SET THE CARRIER GAS INPUT PRESSURE HIGHER THAN

450 kPa (65 psig; 4.5 bar), OTHERWISE THE VALVE MAY BE DAMAGED.

WARNING DO NOT USE HYDROGEN AS CARRIER GAS. The module is not

compatible with Hydrogen carrier gas. The same gas used as carrier gas is used to purge

and to actuate the valve and must be an inert gas.
