9.4 Performing Manual Tune
Manual tunes are a standard routine maintenance practice for HAPSITE ER and
HAPSITE SmartPlus, and should be performed once every 4 to 6 months to
maintain optimal performance of the unit’s mass spectrometer.
Routine manual tunes will improve the accuracy of compound identifications, and
provide indications of the health of the mass spectrometer.
The following procedure outlines the steps in manually tuning HAPSITE ER. If
performing this task for the first time, we recommend contacting INFICON directly
for support.
