A pressure switch mounted on the source exhaust pump measures the pressure in the source
exhaust line. If the pressure in the line rises above the set point while the probes are installed,
the high-voltage power supply is turned off.
Installation
When the ion source is installed, the mass spectrometer recognizes the ion source and displays
the ion source identification in the software.
The interior of the ion source is visible through the tempered glass windows on the side and end
of the ion source housing. The ion source housing is connected to the vacuum interface housing
and is held in position by two source latches.
Install the Probe in the Ion Source Housing
Install the probes in the ion source housing before installing the ion source. Always remove the
ion source from the mass spectrometer before exchanging probes. Refer to Remove the Ion
Source on page 96.
If the probes are not properly installed in the ion source housing, then high-voltage power for the
mass spectrometer and source exhaust system is turned off.
Caution: Potential Equipment Damage: Do not let the protruding electrode tip touch any
part of the ion source housing, to avoid damaging the probe.
WARNING! Toxic Chemical Hazard: Vent the source exhaust system to an
external fume hood or an external vent to prevent hazardous vapors from being
released into the laboratory environment.
WARNING! Electrical Shock Hazard: Install the ion source on the mass
spectrometer as the last step in this procedure. High voltage is present when the
ion source is installed on the equipment.
Required tools
• Ion source housing assembly
• Probes
• Ion source hardware kit (Do not discard the empty package. Use it to store the ion source
when not in use.)
WARNING! Electrical Shock Hazard: Make sure that the ion source housing is
completely disconnected from the mass spectrometer before proceeding.
WARNING! Electrical Shock Hazard: When installing the ion source, install the
probe before installing the ion source on the mass spectrometer.
