Maintaining the Analyzer
Scheduling
None of the analyzer components requires periodic
maintenance. Some tasks, however, must be performed when
MS behavior indicates they are necessary. These tasks include:
• Cleaning the ion sources
• Replacing filaments
The Agilent 7200 Accurate-Mass Q-TOF GC/MS Troubleshooting
and Maintenance Manual provides information about symptoms
that indicate the need for analyzer maintenance. The
troubleshooting material in the online help in the MassHunter
Workstation software provides more extensive information.
Precautions
Keep components clean during analyzer maintenance. Never
open the analyzer chamber. There are no customer serviceable
parts accessible from this door.
Electrostatic discharge
The wires, contacts, and cables connected to the analyzer
components can carry electrostatic discharges (ESDs) to the
electronics boards to which they are connected. This is
especially true of the mass filter (quadrupole) and collision cell
contact wires which can conduct ESD to sensitive components
CAUTION
If not done correctly, analyzer maintenance can introduce
contaminants into the MS.
WARNING
The analyzers operate at high temperatures. Do not touch any part
until you are sure it is cool.
