Troubleshooting and Maintenance Manual 83
To Move or Store the MS
Materials needed
• Ferrule, blank (5181-3308)
• Interface column nut (05988-20066)
• 2 Wrenches, open-end, 1/4-inch × 5/16-inch (8710-0510)
Procedure
1 Cool down the GC and MS. See the Agilent 7200 Accurate-Mass Q-TOF
GC/MS System Operation Manual.
2 Vent the MS. See the Agilent 7200 Accurate-Mass Q-TOF GC/MS System
Operation Manual.
Make sure the GC/MS interface and the analyzer zones are cool (below 100 °C)
before you vent the MS. A temperature of 100 °C is hot enough to burn skin; always
wear cloth gloves when handling analyzer parts.
The use of hydrogen gas is specifically prohibited with this product.
When the MS is vented, do not put the MassHunter Workstation software into
Instrument Control view. Doing so will turn on the interface heater.
Be sure the GC oven and the GC/MS interface are cool before turning off the carrier
gas flow.
Never vent the MS by allowing air in through either end of the foreline hose. Always
use the automated procedure in MassHunter Data Acquisition to vent the MS.
Do not exceed the maximum recommended total gas flow.
