Exhausts
The exhaust from the rotary pump should be vented to atmosphere outside the
laboratory.
The gas exhaust, which also contains solvent vapours, should be vented via a separate
fume hood, industrial vent or cold trap.
The gas exhaust should be connected using 10mm plastic tubing connected to
the push-in fitting.
Caution: Do not connect these two exhaust lines together as, in the event of an
instrument failure, rotary pump exhaust could be admitted into the source
chamber producing severe contamination.
CID Gas
Argon is required as collision gas. See Hardware Specifications for details.
Power Cord
The mains power cord should be wired to a suitable mains outlet using a standard
plug. For plugs with an integral fuse, the fuse should be rated at 13 amps.
Mains Switch
The mains switch switches mains power to the instrument.
Fuses
Refer to Maintenance and Fault Finding for details of rear panel fuses, and all other
instrument fuses.
Rotary Control
Mains power to the two rotary pumps is controlled by the data system using one of
these two sockets. The other socket is connected to the solenoid valve situated in the
oil return tube on the E1M18 pump.
ESD Earth Facility
A suitable wrist band should be connected to this point when handling sensitive
electronic components, to prevent damage by electrostatic discharge.
