5-82 Maintenance Procedures
7. Align the PEEK coupler in the end of the union and slide the TaperTip
into the union until it butts against the fused-silica capillary.
8. Finger-tighten the coupler to hold the TaperTip securely, without
crushing.
9. Mount the NanoLockSpray reference probe on the NanoLockSpray
source enclosure.
10. Using the combined 2.5-mm Allen wrench and cone extraction tool,
tighten the 3 screws that secure the NanoLockSpray reference probe.
11. Replace the combined 2.5-mm Allen wrench and cone extraction tool in
its storage location on the source adaptor housing.
12. Fit the NanoLockSpray source enclosure to the instrument (see
page 5-11).
13. Using an F-130 "finger tight" nut, connect the fused-silica capillary to
the grounded union in the instrument’s IntelliStart Fluidics system.
14. Connect the NanoLockSpray reference probe’s cable to the instrument’s
high voltage connector.
Warning: The NanoLockSpray reference probe tip is an exposed,
fused-silica TaperTip which is sharp and fragile. To avoid
puncture wounds, handle the probe with care.
Caution: Ensure that you are inserting the square-cut end of the
TaperTip into the union and not the tapered tip.
Caution: Overtightening the coupler on the TaperTip crushes it,
causing blockages.
Caution: The fragile TaperTip at the end of the NanoLockSpray
reference probe is easily broken during insertion into the source.
