Resurrected a 6890 which has not been used for a while. When the chemstation is turned on, it gives message of "Limits fail: liner(injection)". Pulled out and cleaned/replaced microseal (fine), glass liner with o-ring (no physical samage) and golden seal…
Thanks ryoboyle and dheyaaldeen . I renamed the 4 files (config.reg, ChemStationPerInstrumentSettings.config, instrument.config, RapidControl.InstrumentConfig.xml). I do not have a user.mac file in the CORE folder. The program opened once and I reconnected…
Hi mazarakis, I do not see an advanced operation manual published as of yet. I have attached the 8890 Operation Manual in case this helps. Regards James
Hi dhanong, If you have 10 GC at 2 fids per GC all on at the same time using 40ml/min of H2, thats only 0.8litres per minute. I am not sure what the max would be, but I have seen that many GC on 1/8th inch line. The tricky part is when you get to the…
Hi James, Just a followup on this. I changed the Lan adapter with G1530-62010. However, I still had a deconnexion this weekend and when sending a ping to the GC, the response time is random and high (between 1ms to sometimes 32ms). Is there anything else…
Hi, we are currently unable to get Helium. We'll run our Helium gas inventory in a few weeks. Between other applications for our facility, it is used as a carrier gas on our GCs for solvent analysis (validated method). I'm copying our method below. Would…
Hi all, I'll contribute to this topic with a few comments. I'm in no way a GC expert but I have been working with a GC-MS, basically on my own, for about a year now and I have been trying to gain knowledge on how to best operate the machine. Please correct…
Hi all, The GC in my lab is Agilent 7820A that my supervisor bought it 2-3 years ago. The configuration of GC is as follows: - One detector FID - One inlet Split/Splitless - One line for gas sample and One gas sampling valve. However, I am not sure there…

Sounds like the Cap EPC module or the EPC Pneumatics board may have failed. Do you have two Cap Inlets? If so. You can swap the two EPC Modules to see if that changes anything. I would lean towards the EPC Module has failed.
