Maxum II Initial Startup Procedures,
Continued
Continuing with the main power still off, open the
oven door and carefully remove all material, if
present. If columns were removed for shipment,
these should be installed in the oven.
Check for any crimped or broken tubing.
Finger test fittings to make sure they are tight.
Establish Utility Gas Flows
Unblock the instrument air supply. If oven air
regulators are set to their setpoints, adjust them to 0
psig to turn off the oven heaters.
Set Valve gas, if used, to the pressure specified in the Maxum II factory documentation. If valve
gas is not air, first open the valves on the cylinder providing the gas. Note: the Maxum II has a
shutdown program based on valve gas pressure. A pressure switch is set at a decreasing
setpoint of 100 psig (700 kPa.) If supply line pressure drops below this setpoint, analyzer mode is
set to hold, and all EPCs and heaters are disabled. EPCs and heaters must then be manually
enabled through the MMI before restarting the analyzer.
Unblock the carrier gas and set the cylinder regulators at least 25 psi (175 kPa) above the factory
carrier gas setpoints.
If used, unblock the flame detector fuel and air supplies and set the cylinder regulators at least 25
psi (175 kPa) above the factory setpoints.
Establish Power to the Maxum II
Turn on power to the Maxum II. Wait for the system to boot up.
On the MMI, the system boots up to the Monitor menu. Select the Maintenance menu by pressing
Select menu > 2.
In the Maintenance menu, press 8 > 6 to display the EPCs.
Leak Check the Column Oven Connections
Confirm the EPCs are enabled and that the pressure indicated
matches the setpoint.
Use a foaming liquid leak detector and leak test the fittings in the
oven. Do not use a foaming liquid detector on connections made with
fused silica capillary columns; instead, use isopropyl alcohol.
Tighten any leaking fitting with the appropriate wrench until no leaks
are detected.
Clean up any excess leak check fluid with absorbent paper towels.
Check sample line(s) by blocking return or vent line and pressuring
with air or non-combustible and non-toxic gas to check for sample line
leaks in the oven.
