Newbie with GC, need help for CP3800 PFPD flame ignition. I did not find and softkey to ignite the flame of PFPD as that for FID，and i am not sure if it is ignited or not since i did not find any small hole to confirm it by checking condensation. Not sure if the flame will be puffed out by the He/H2 flow either.
Thanks,　

hi. you can ear the tik-tok sound if the detector is working properly.
The normal flow for the detector is 17ml ( air1),14 ml ( h2 ) and 10 ml ( air2). If this is ok, you can check the ignitor continuity, maybe is broken. the electronic must be on. I know this detector very well, because i´ve worked with it
