This chapter contains instructions for installing the HP 5973 MSD system.
Installation of any MSD system includes the following steps:
•
Inspection of shipped materials
•
GC installation and preparation
•
MSD installation
•
Data system installation
•
GC and MSD integration
•
Performance evaluation
•
Customer familiarization
Installing the CI MSD system requires additional steps:
•
Methane/isobutane gas purifier installation
•
Methane reagent gas line and gas purifier purge
•
Methane reagent gas line hookup
After system performance has been verified in EI mode, the MSD must be
switched to CI mode and evaluated:
•
CI ion source and CI interface tip seal installation
•
Bakeout and purge at least 2 hours
•
CI setup
•
PCI autotune and sensitivity verification
•
NCI autotune and sensitivity verification
The EI/CI interface on the CI MSD requires a different column installation
procedure.
The HP 59864B vacuum gauge controller is required for CI operation.
