To turn Off the system:
1. Press and hold the power button on the instrument keypad for two to three seconds.

begins to shut down the pumping system and the heaters.
After the pumps have completely stopped and the temperature has reached 0% the
instrument will shut down.
Two options will become available during this shutdown process.
2. Vent Cartridge will empty the Helium cartridge at the end of the Shutdown cycle, if needed.
NOTE: The Vent Cartridge feature will empty most of the helium from the cartridge. Perform this operation
only if you need to remove the helium cartridge after the system is shutdown.
NOTE: The Helium Cartridge should be vented and removed before shipping the system or transporting the
Torion T-9 GC/MS system on a commercial aircraft. In most situations, the helium cartridge does not
need to be vented during the shutdown process.
3. A confirmation message displays when using the Vent Cartridge option. Press Yes to
proceed or No to cancel the operation. Once venting has completed the cartridge can easily
