Item Description
1 Connection to mass spectrometer
2 Source exhaust drain bottle (In this drawing, the capped drain bottle is
shown at the back of the mass spectrometer to make connection points
visible. The drain bottle is located at the side of the mass spectrometer
when installed.)
3 Connection to vent
Caution: Asphyxiation Hazard: Take care to vent exhaust gases
properly. The use of mass spectrometers without adequate
ventilation to outside air may constitute a health hazard. In addition,
certain procedures required during the operation of the mass
spectrometer may cause gases to be discharged into the exhaust
stream; under these conditions, inadequate ventilation may result
in serious injury. Regularly perform an inspection of the hoses to
make sure that there are no leaks.
Note: Source exhaust hose connections at the drain bottle, mass
spectrometer, and the lab vent are secured with a hose clamp.
