To remove the corona pin from the source:
Warning: To avoid personal contamination with biologically hazardous, toxic, and corrosive
materials, wear chemical-resistant, powder-free gloves when performing this procedure.
Warning: To avoid static-like electric shock, ensure that the instrument is prepared for
working on the source before starting this procedure.
1. Prepare the instrument for working on the source (see Prepare the instrument for working
on the source (Page 76)).
Warning: To avoid burn injuries, take great care while performing this
procedure.

source enclosure open if an ESI probe is fitted; the ESI probe tip is sharp.
2. Pull the source enclosure release (located at the bottom, right-hand side) outward, and
swing open the enclosure.
Warning: To avoid puncture wounds, handle the corona pin with care. Its tip is
sharp.
3. Remove the corona pin from its mounting contact (see the figure in Installing the corona
pin in the source (Page 65)).
Tip: Store the corona pin in a safe location.
4. Fit the blanking plug to the corona pin mounting contact (see the figure in Installing the
