6 CI Maintenance
To Install the CI Interface Tip Seal
Materials needed
• Interface tip seal (G1099-60412)
The interface tip seal must be in place for CI operation. It is necessary to
achieve adequate ion source pressure for CI.
Procedure
1 Remove the seal from the ion source storage box.
2 Verify that the CI ion source is installed.
3 Place the seal over the end of the interface. To remove the seal, reverse the
above steps.
4 Gently check the alignment of the analyzer and the interface.
When the analyzer is aligned correctly, the analyzer can be closed all the
way with no resistance except the spring tension from the interface tip seal.
5 You can align the analyzer and interface by wiggling the side plate on its
hinge. If the analyzer still will not close, contact your Agilent Technologies
service representative.
CAUTION
Electrostatic discharges to analyzer components are conducted to the side board
where they can damage sensitive components. Wear a grounded antistatic wrist strap
and take other antistatic precautions before you open the analyzer chamber.
CAUTION
Forcing the analyzer closed if these parts are misaligned will damage the seal or the
interface or the ion source, or will keep the sideplate from sealing.
