Controller Power Supply

The installation method for the EASY-Spray Series ion source includes the controller power
supply when using an LC instrument other than the EASY-nLC 1200. For instructions, see

Powering the Ion Source for Other nanoLC/MS Systems

shows the controller power supply assembly that consists of a wall-mounted power

supply with a detachable input plug and a power adapter cable. The other end of the power
adapter cable connects to the input power socket (labeled P-BUS) located on the bottom of
the ion source to provide the 24 Vdc input for the temperature controller PCB.

Figure 5.

Controller power supply assembly (shown with a European input plug)

Note

The total length of the output cord and power adapter cable is approximately

274 cm (9 ft). Make sure that an electrical wall outlet is within reach for the power supply
and that you provide suitable clearance around it for cooling.
