HAPSITE down, place it in a standby mode, restart or reboot the system.
3.10.1 Extended Standby
Extended Standby is the preferred mode for the HAPSITE when not running
samples. In this state, the MS pumping system is active (Ion pump on. NEG pump
at 400 °C). In addition, gases are not being consumed. The expected results are
longer NEG pump life and faster startup. All GC heated zones are off. Proceed as
follows to place the system in extended standby.
