Installation:

Can be retrofitted on older instruments but may require top cover modification.

PMT mounted left to right

Single FPD - Fitted in back position (ease of access to front)
Dual FPD - Fitted in back : Uses both detector PCB slots : Cannot
use ALS in back position.
Uses both DETB and AUX2 heated zones to heat transfer line and heated
block, but only DET temp entered.
Requires AUX actuator solenoid bracket and wiring harness.
Requires 2.1x 6890 firmware and 4.02 Chemstation (single)
3.0x 6890 firmware and 5.01 Chemstation (dual)
