1. Make sure that the ion source latches on either side of the ion source are pointing up in the
12 o’clock position. Refer to the section:
2. Align the ion source with the vacuum interface, making sure that the guide pins on the ion
source are aligned with the sockets in the vacuum interface.
3. Push the ion source gently against the vacuum interface and then rotate the ion source
latches down to lock the ion source in place.
The mass spectrometer recognizes the ion source and then shows the ion source
identification in the control software.
