CAUTION
Hot Surface. The ion transfer capillary typically operates at 250 to 400 ºC. Be
careful not to touch the capillary or the cone while it is hot. Before removing the sweep
cone, reduce the capillary temperature by setting the capillary temperature to 25 ºC,
and wait for the ion transfer capillary. Allow the ion transfer capillary to cool to room
temperature for approximately 60 minutes before you touch or remove either
component.
Make sure that the SUPER SESI locking levers are placed in the open position. See figure below:
Figure 10. SUPER SESI Locking Levers in open position .
Install the SUPER SESI on the mass spectrometer in the same way as the original Thermo ion
source. For this: Carefully align the two guide pin holes on the rear of the SUPER SESI with the
ion source housing guide pins on the mass spectrometer; Carefully press the SUPER SESI onto
the ion source mount using the handles; Rotate the SUPER SESI locking levers 90 degrees to lock
the SUPER SESI onto the ion source mount assembly.
CAUTION
Use the SUPER SESI handles to lift the SUPER SESI and to press it against the
Mass Spectrometer. Do not grab the sample line or other parts to lift the SUPER SESI.
Doing so could damage the sample line.
Finally, connect the power cable from the IEC C14 connector in SUPER SESI to the wall power
receptacle.
IMPORTANT NOTE
the SUPER SESI and the mass spectrometer must be connected to
the same line, and they must share a common ground and a common phase.
