Use the following procedures if you need to turn on or shut down the system. You may need to
shut down the system to perform maintenance.
1. Make sure there is clear access to the mass spectrometer AC mains power cord.
The cord must be accessible in order to disconnect the instrument from the AC
mains power supply.
2. Make sure the 4 L drain bottle is connected to the Exhaust Waste connection on the
rear of the instrument and to the laboratory ventilation system.
3. Make sure that the mains supply cable is plugged in to the instrument.
4. Make sure that the mass spectrometer and roughing pump mains supply cable are
plugged into the 200 to 240 V electrical mains supply.
5. Make sure that the Ethernet cable is connected to both the instrument and the
computer.
6. Turn on the roughing pump.
7. Remove the cover on the circuit breaker switch on the left side of the mass
spectrometer, when viewed from the front (refer to Figure 1-2 on page 19), and then
turn on the circuit breaker.
8. Replace the cover over the circuit breaker switch and then tighten the screw holding
the cover until it is finger tight.
9. Turn on the instrument power switch. Refer to Figure 1-2 on page 19.

1. Complete or stop any ongoing scans. For more information, refer to Stop Sample
Acquisition on page 61.
Caution: Potential Instrument Damage: Turn off the sample flow before you
shut down the mass spectrometer.
2. Turn off the sample flow to the mass spectrometer and disconnect the sample lines
from the peripheral device to the ion source. Leave the source connected for proper
venting.
3. In the Analyst TF software, deactivate the hardware profile, if it is active, and then
close the Analyst TF software.
4. Turn off the instrument power switch on the left side of the instrument (refer to
