3. Remove the sample cone assembly from the right-hand side of the ion block and
disassemble the parts by hand.
Note:
• Three parts compose the sample cone assembly: a metal sample cone, a disc aperture
assembly, and a metal entrance-aperture carrier.
• The disc aperture assembly contains a metal disc. If the disc becomes separated from
the rubber carrier, simply reinsert the disc into the carrier.
Requirement: The Standard and Performance QDa detectors require different entrance
aperture discs. When ordering a replacement entrance-aperture disc and seal, ensure that
the entrance-aperture disc is the correct type.
