Cleaning the extraction cone 5-37
1. Fit the extraction cone handle insulator to the extraction cone handle.
2. Fit the extraction cone to the ion block.
3. Rotate the 2 PEEK extraction cone retainer clips to secure the extraction
cone, and then, using the combined 2.5-mm Allen wrench and cone
extraction tool, tighten the screws that secure the retainer clip.
Fitting the ion block assembly to the source assembly
Required materials
• Chemical-resistant, powder-free gloves
• Combined 2.5-mm Allen wrench and cone extraction tool
To fit the ion block assembly to the source assembly
1. Fit the ion block assembly to the PEEK ion block support.
2. Using the combined 2.5-mm Allen wrench and cone extraction tool, fit
and then slowly tighten the 4 screws that secure the ion block assembly
sequentially and in small increments.
3. Replace the combined 2.5-mm Allen wrench and cone extraction tool in
its storage location on the source adaptor housing.
4. Ensure that the source isolation valve is closed (see page 5-15).
5. Close the source enclosure.
Warning: The source components can be contaminated with
biohazardous and/or toxic materials. Always wear
chemical-resistant, powder-free gloves while performing this
procedure.
Warning: To avoid puncture wounds, take great care while working with
the source enclosure open if one or both of these conditions apply:
• An ESI probe is fitted (the probe tip is sharp).
• A corona pin is fitted (the pin tip is sharp).
Caution: To avoid recontaminating the ion block assembly, wear clean
chemical-resistant, powder-free gloves during this procedure.
