Required material
Chemical-resistant, powder-free gloves
To remove the corona pin from the source:
1. Prepare the instrument for working on the source (see page 4-7).
2. Pull the source enclosure release (located at the bottom, right-hand side)
outward, and swing open the enclosure.
3. Remove the corona pin from its mounting contact (see the figure on
page 4-14).
Tip: Store the corona pin in a safe location.
4. Fit the blanking plug to the corona pin mounting contact (see the figure
on page 4-13).
5. Close the source enclosure.
Warning: The LC system connections, ESI probe, and source can
be contaminated with biohazardous and/or toxic materials. Always
wear chemical-resistant, powder-free gloves while performing this
procedure.
Warning: To avoid electric shock, ensure that the instrument is pre-
pared for working on the source before commencing this procedure.
Warning: The source can be hot. To avoid burn injuries, take great
care while working with the instrument’s source enclosure open.
Warning: The ESI probe tip is sharp. To avoid puncture wounds,
take great care while working with the source enclosure open if an
ESI probe is fitted.
