Upgrading a Stand Alone TRACE 1300/TRACE 1310 to MS Version
This section provides the instructions for updating your TRACE 1300/TRACE 1310 stand
alone version to a MS version. According to Thermo Scientific you need a dedicated upgrade
kit to couple the
GC
with an ISQ Series, TSQ 8000 Series, DSQ II, ITQ, or TSQ Quantum
mass spectrometer.
Preliminary Operations
Before starting, the following preliminary operation must be carried out.
1. Put the GC in standby condition.
2. Cool the oven, injectors and detectors to room temperature.
3. Close the gas supplies.
4. Power off the GC.
a.
Push down the power switch (breaker), located at the back of the instrument, to the
position O.
b. Unplug the power cable from the AC Input connector into the back of the GC and
from the wall outlet.
5. If external modules are present, unplug the power cable from the AC Input connector of
each external module, and from the wall outlet.
Getting Started
Depending on your mass spectrometer, see the following sections:
•
Coupling with the ISQ Series / TSQ 8000 Series Mass Spectrometer
•
Coupling with the DSQ II Mass Spectrometer
•
Coupling with the ITQ Mass Spectrometer
•
Coupling with the TSQ Quantum Mass Spectrometer
WARNING
This operation must be carried out by authorized and trained Thermo Fisher
Scientific Service Field Engineers.
IMPORTANT
The temperature control for the DSQ II, ITQ and TSQ Quantum transfer
line is carried out through the
Aux Temperature/Cryo Module
. See the section
an Aux Temperature/Cryo Module”
for details.
