Agilent 7500 Series ICP-MS Hardware Manual 5-5
• The vacuum tubing has failed (the tubing is off, or a leak is caused by an
incomplete seal such as a pin hole or a defective O- ring.)
• There is a fault in the backing Pirani gauge or the System I/O Board.
1009* Execution Error: Vacuum pressure (IF/BK) is too high.
The turbomolecular pump cannot work because the vacuum pressure (IF/BK)
exceeds the limit (When the instrument is changing from the Shutdown Mode
to the Standby Mode).
Check the vacuum pressure (IF/BK). The following causes are inferred.
• The vent valve is not closed or the seal is incomplete.
• The cover of the vacuum chamber is not closed or the seal is incomplete.
• The power of the rotary pump is not connected or the breaker is OFF.
• The rotary pump oil level is low or the oil is dirty.
• There is a leak in the gate valve.
• The vacuum tubing has failed (the tubing is off, or a leak is caused by an
incomplete seal such as a pin hole or a defective O- ring.)
• There is a fault in the Pirani gauge (IF/BK) or the System I/O Board.
1010* Execution Error: Vacuum pressure (IF) is too high.
The gate valve cannot be opened because the vacuum pressure (IF) exceeds the
limit (When the instrument is changing from the Standby Mode to the Analysis
Mode).
Check the interface line pressure. The following causes are inferred.
• The orifice of the sampling cone is too big.
• The seal of the sampling cone is incomplete (Defective O- ring)
• The plasma is too far from the sampling cone.
• The power of the rotary pump is not connected or the breaker is OFF.
• The rotary pump oil level is low or the oil is dirty.
• The vacuum tubing has failed (the tubing is off, or a leak is caused by an
incomplete seal such as a pin hole or a defective O- ring.)
• A drop of water was introduced into the vacuum chamber.
• There is a fault in the Pirani gauge (IF) or the System I/O Board.
1010* Execution Error: Vacuum pressure (IF/BK) is too high.
The gate valve cannot be opened because the vacuum pressure (IF/BK) exceeds
the limit (When the instrument is changing from the Standby Mode to the
Analysis Mode).
Check the vacuum pressure (IF/BK). The following causes are inferred.
• The orifice of the sampling cone is too big.
• The seal of the sampling cone is incomplete (Defective O- ring)
• The plasma is too far from the sampling cone.
• The power of the rotary pump is not connected or the breaker is OFF.
• The rotary pump oil level is low or the oil is dirty.
