To Remove the Source from the Analyzer Chamber
This procedure is part of an automated series of steps
controlled by MassHunter. Do not attempt this procedure unless
prompted by MassHunter. The RIS Status area on the GC/Q-TOF
Tune tab must show the Gate Valve is Open and the Transfer Line is
Full Out.
Procedure
1
Holding the RIS handle, turn the alignment guide, which is
the white line on the RIS handle, to the two o’clock position
from the top of the handle. This ensures that the RIS bayonet
is aligned properly to attach to the source.

CAUTION
While the RIS handle is fully extended, do not bump or push it from the
side. Doing so will break the seal and allow air into the cooling
chamber.
CAUTION
Do not try to guide the ion source in manually. Push the RIS handle
gently and allow the RIS bayonet to slide on its own. The RIS bayonet
will slide in straight if it is allowed to move naturally.
