5-88 Maintenance Procedures
Fitting the source enclosure to the instrument
Required materials:
• Chemical-resistant, powder-free gloves
• 5-mm Allen wrench
To fit the source enclosure to the instrument
1. Ensuring that the wires to the microswitch do not become trapped
between the source enclosure and the instrument’s housing, fit the
source enclosure to the housing.
2. Use the 5-mm Allen wrench to tighten the 3 captive screws securing the
source enclosure.
3. Connect the 2-pin connector at the rear of the source enclosure.
4. Connect the PTFE tubing to the desolvation gas connection at the
instrument’s front panel
5. Connect the probe’s electrical connection at the instrument’s front panel.
6. If using ESCi mode or an IonSABRE APCI probe, carefully fit the corona
pin (see “Installing the corona pin” on page 3-6).
7. Close the source enclosure door, and secure it with both spring-clips.
Warning: To confirm the integrity of the source exhaust system,
perform the procedure exactly as described in this section.
Caution:
• To avoid recontaminating the source, wear clean,
chemical-resistant, powder-free gloves during this procedure.
• Do not apply any downward force to the source enclosure door when
fitting the source enclosure to the instrument’s housing.
Caution: The source enclosure securing screws must each be
sequentially and incrementally tightened until they are all fully
tight.
Warning: The corona pin tip is sharp. To avoid puncture wounds,
handle the corona pin with care.
