5.3 Starting the vacuum system

If the system does not reach the required vacuum pressure within 10 minutes, an error

will be displayed and the vacuum system will be shut down.

1. Click the [V

ACUUM] button on the Main Toolbar of the ASpect MS Software, or

choose V

ACUUM ON from the ACTIONS menu, or press [SHIFT+F6]. A sequence will

automatically initiate the appropriate vacuum components to bring the instrument

to the required system pressure.

2. Watch the Status Bar (at the bottom of the Main window) to see the progress.

Countdown times (in seconds) for the various stages are displayed.

3. After restarting the vacuum system it is recommended to carry out an Automated

Instrument Setup (see section "Instrument Automated Setup" on page 59
