What to do if a system fault has occurred in SCIEX 5500 Laboratory Equipment because the vacuum pressure is too high?
A system fault in your SCIEX Laboratory Equipment due to high vacuum pressure can be caused by: * Low roughing pump oil level: Inspect the roughing pump oil level. * Leaks: Inspect and repair any leaks. * Incorrect orifice plate: Install the correct orifice plate.
Why has the mass spectrometer performance degraded in my SCIEX 5500?
Degraded mass spectrometer performance in your SCIEX Laboratory Equipment can be due to: * The probe not being optimized: Optimize the probe. * Incorrect sample preparation or sample degradation: Confirm that the sample was prepared correctly. * Leaking sample inlet fittings: Verify that the fittings are the right size and type and make sure that they are tight. Do not overtighten the fittings. Replace the fittings if leaks continue. * Consider installing and optimizing an alternate ion source.
What to do if Analyst software reports a fault status for the mass spectrometer due to the ion source in SCIEX 5500 Laboratory Equipment?
If the Analyst software reports that the mass spectrometer is in Fault status because of the ion source on your SCIEX Laboratory Equipment: * Confirm the fault in the Status panel of the device details page. * The probe may not be installed or connected securely: Install the probe. * Remove and replace the probe and tighten the retaining ring securely.
