detector and the laboratory exhaust system, follow these procedures:
• Connecting the Vacuum Hose
• Connecting the Forepump to the Laboratory Exhaust System
• Connecting the Forepump to Line Power
Connecting the Vacuum Hose
The vacuum hose accessory kit (P/N 97055-60135) contains the parts required to connect the
forepump to the MS detector.
Table 1 lists the components and Figure 1 shows the
components of the vacuum hose assembly. The adapters at the two ends of the vacuum hose
assembly are connected at the factory.
