5975 Series MSD Troubleshooting and Maintenance Manual

General Maintenance

To Connect the Micro-Ion Vacuum Gauge

The Micro-Ion vacuum gauge is optional for EI operation. It is

required

for

operating the MSD in CI mode.

Materials needed

•

Micro-Ion vacuum gauge (G3397A)

•

Power cord

•

Micro-Ion vacuum gauge cable (G3170-60805)

•

CI flow module cable-Smart Card to CI flow (G3170-60808)

Procedure

Use the provided KF-16 clamp to install the Micro-Ion vacuum gauge to the
rear of the analyzer chamber.

Connect the gauge cables as shown in

Figure

Pump down the MSD.
