Agilent 1100 Series LC/MSD Trap System Quick Start Guide 37
Place the instrument in Standby mode at the end of a sequence
• In the ChemStation window, type “macro SHUTDOWN.MAC,go” in the command
line, or
Select Sequence > Sequence Parameters and enter the macro as a
Post-Sequence Cmd/Macro.
When the sequence ends, the macro performs the following actions:
a Turns off the LC pump, column compartment and UV detector in Chemstation,
b Places the MSD Trap Control in “Standby,” and
c Loads the MS-only method Standby.M into MSD Trap Control.
The default method places the divert valve “To Waste” and sets the source
settings, to conserve gas, to the same settings as listed on the previous page.
Shut down the MSD Trap instrument
Under only two conditions do you shut down the system:
• If you need to switch sources or perform maintenance that requires shutdown
• If you do not use the instrument for an extended period of time (e.g. holiday)
1 From the MSD Trap Control window, select Options > Standby.
2 Select Ask which mode to activate, and click Apply.
3 Exit the MSD Trap Control software.
4 When the message appears to ask for Standby or Shutdown, select Shutdown,
and click OK.
5 Power off the instrument.
• Close the ballast valve on the rough pump to reduce stress on the anti-suck
valve.
• Place a cover over the spray shield to reduce infusion of ambient air
moisture.
• Turn off the Trap.
The system automatically shuts down in the following situations:
• Power failure to the PC or to the Trap (Upon power restoration, the instrument
remains shut down.)
• Gas flow error
a Shutdown mode indicator becomes red.
b Active run or sequence is stopped.
c Divert valve is set To Waste.
• Vacuum fault
