4. Place the Main Power circuit breaker switch in the On (|) position. When you place the
Main Power circuit breaker switch in the On (|) position, power is supplied to those mass
spectrometer components that are not affected by the Vacuum service switch and the
Electronics service switch.
5. On the TSQ Quantum Access or TSQ Quantum Access MAX, place the Vacuum service
switch in the Operational position.
6. Place the Electronics service switch in the Operational position. When you place the
Electronics service switch in the Operational position, the following occurs:
• The Power LED on the mass spectrometer front panel illuminates green to indicate
that power is provided to the mass spectrometer electronics. (The electron multiplier,
conversion dynode, ion source, and mass analyzer and ion optics rf voltages
remain off.)
• The embedded computer reboots. After several seconds the Communication LED on
the front panel illuminates yellow to indicate that the data system and the mass
spectrometer have started to establish a communication link.
• After several more seconds, the Communication LED illuminates green to indicate
that the data system and the mass spectrometer have established a communication
link. Software for the operation of the mass spectrometer is then transferred from the
data system to the mass spectrometer.
• After three minutes, the System LED illuminates yellow to indicate that the software
transfer from the data system to the mass spectrometer is complete and that the
instrument is in standby.
• The Vacuum LED on the front panel of the mass spectrometer remains off until the
turbomolecular pump reaches 80 percent of its operational speed of 750 Hz. At this
time the ion gauge is turned on and the Vacuum LED illuminates yellow. The
Vacuum LED illuminates green, and the high voltage can be turned on, only if the
pressure in the mass analyzer region, as measured by the ion gauge, is below the
maximum allowable pressure of 7 × 10
-4
Torr.
If you have an autosampler, go to the next topic, “Starting Up the Autosampler.” If you do not
have an autosampler, go to the topic “Setting Up Conditions for Operation.”
Starting Up the Autosampler
 To start up the autosampler
Place the power switch on the autosampler in the On position. If necessary, configure the
autosampler. For procedures for placing sample vials, preparing solvent and waste bottles,
installing syringes, and so on, refer to the manual that came with the autosampler. Refer
also to it’s Getting Connected Guide.
