Using Explorer
Parameter Description
Charge State If the instrument is connected to the AC adapter the charge
state will be Fast if the battery pack is being charged or Trickle
if the battery pack is being maintained at full charge. If the
instrument is operating from the battery pack alone then the
charge state will be Off.
Serial # The serial number of the instrument.
Cycle Time This timer shows the time remaining in the current analysis. If
a run is not in progress, then this parameter is set to 0.
If the ECD is selected for operation, then parameters specific to the ECD will be
displayed.
To change the view from the PID to the ECD:
1. Press DISPLAY, then STATUS, then GC, then DET.
2. When prompted to change views to the ECD, press Enter Menu.
Parameter Description
ECD Signal The current signal from the electron capture detector.
ECD Offset The voltage applied to keep the baseline at 10% of fullscale. The
applied offset is an indication of column contamination. If the
offset is greater than 800 mV the column should be allowed to
flush until it stabilizes at a value between 200 and 800 mV.
ECD Status Shows that the ECD is on or off.
ECD Temp The operating temperature of the electron capture detector. The
temperature can be set independently of the column and PID.
