Setting Up the FPD
To set up a FPD using PPC modules, follow the steps below.
FPD Setup Summary
To set up a FPD:
• Configure the linearizer and signal filter.
• Set the FPD temperature.
• Set the hydrogen flow and air flow for PPC
• Turn on the photomultiplier tube.
• Ignite the flame
Configure the Linearizer and Signal Filter
The signal for sulfur is a function of the square of the sample quantity injected.
That is, if twice as much sample is injected, the response is quadrupled. When the
linearizer is turned on, the software calculates the square root of the signal and sends
that value to the integrator or recorder.
NOTE: If Linearization is set to "ON," the Autozero function must be checked off on the
FPD tab screen.
NOTE: If Linearization is set to "ON," set the Clarus GC integrator attenuation to x64. If
Linearization is set to "OFF," set the Clarus GC integrator attenuation to x8.
1. From the System Status screen touch the FPD button.
