4.1.2. Instruction
The canister rack ships with 15.24 m of
1/16
” o.d. × 0.040” i.d. inert coated stainless
steel tubing, this length is to be used as sample lines between the rack and
CIA Advantage-xr.
[1] Position the rack within 1 m of the CIA Advantage-xr
[2] Measure the distance from each bulkhead union (on the back of the rack) to
the corresponding sample channel union on the CIA Advantage-xr
[3] Cut the tubing to appropriate lengths: ensure a clean cut and deburr all ends
[4] Fit the tubing to the sample channel unions on the CIA Advantage-xr using 14 ×
Z-0040
CAUTION Only tighten the unions nger tight plus ¾ turn, any further tightening
may cause the ferrule to deform, which in turn will cause a leak or
diminished ows.
NOTES An additional ferrule and length of tubing is provided to connect the
internal standard to the bulkhead union on the back of the CIA
Advantage-xr.
Fit the tubing to the bulkhead unions on the back of the canister rack using
15 × Z-0040
[5] Markes recommends running a ow test on the sample lines to ensure the
internal bore has not become deformed during connection, and
[6] Markes recommends running a pressurised leak check using. the CIA Advantage-xr.
Additional tubing and ferrules can be purchased if required, see section 6 for
relevant part numbers.

4.2.2. Instruction
The canister rack ships with 15.24 m of
1/16
” o.d. × 0.040” i.d. inert coated stainless
steel tubing, this length is typically used as sample lines between the rack and
CIA Advantage-xr, but when using heated sample lines this is not the case. In this
case the heated sample lines are used in place of the inert tubing, leaving the tubing
for connecting the rack to the canisters.
The heated sample line accessory (part no. U-HTLNKT) comprises of 16 tubing links
in groups of four with an integrated thermocouple to ensure correct heating. As
there are only 15 positions available on the rack and 14 positions on the
CIA Advantage-xr, there will be spare lines which can be used as replacements.

To connect the rack:
CAUTION Only tighten the unions nger tight plus ¾ turn, any further tightening
may cause the ferrule to deform, which in turn will cause a leak or
diminished ows.
NOTES An additional ferrule and length of tubing is provided to connect the
internal standard to the bulkhead union on the back of the CIA
Advantage-xr.
NOTES The labels tted to each of the lines are for identication purposes only
(they match up each end) and as such can be re-positioned if necessary.
Select two groups of four lines and t seven of them to the sample channel unions
numbered 1–7 on the CIA Advantage-xr, using 7 × Z-0040. There should be one
line spare.
[1] Select two groups of four lines and t seven of them to the sample channel
unions numbered 8–14 on the CIA Advantage-xr, using 7 × Z-0040. There
should be one line spare.

Additional ferrules can be purchased if required, see section 6 for relevant
part numbers.
5. Connecting to a canister
5.1.1 Introduction
Prior to connecting, ensure the canister support bars are in the correct position for
the canisters being tted. Use the upper position for canisters of sizes 1 L to 3 L and
the lower position for canisters of sizes 3 L to 6 L.
CAUTION Some 1 L canisters may require additional support to the bars. Only
connect the canister once it is securely held in place.

NOTES Markes recommends the canister rack connection kit (part no. C-CRCK)
to connect 15 × ¼” outlet canisters to the canister rack. The kit
contains all tubing and ferrules required.
NOTES If you are using heated sample lines, you can use the tubing from the
canister rack assembly kit to connect the canisters. You will need a tube
cutting tool and deburrer to cut the lengths down to size. You would still
need to purchase ferrules.
Instruction
[1] Fit the short lengths of tubing to the bulkhead unions on the front of the
canister rack using 15 × Z-1132
