Starting Up the System after a Complete Shutdown
Starting the TSQ Quantum XLS Series system after it has been shut down requires
completion of these tasks:
• Restoring Power to the TSQ Quantum XLS Series System
• Starting Up the GC
• Starting Up the Data System
• Starting Up the Mass Spectrometer
• Starting Up the Autosampler (autosampler is optional)
• Setting Up Conditions for Operation
Note If you plan to perform routine or preventive system maintenance on the mass
spectrometer only, you can leave the argon, data system, GC, and autosampler on. In
this case, the shutdown procedure is complete. However, if you do not plan to operate
your system for an extended period of time, Thermo Fisher Scientific recommends
that you turn off the GC, data system, and autosampler as described in step 7 through
step 12 below.
WARNING Burn Hazard. The ion source, GC oven, injector, and transfer line are
hot. Allow them to cool to room temperature before touching them.
