Figure 3. Using the Lights on the TSQ 8000 Evo Instrument
To check the temperature, look at the Heaters light. When the Heaters light is a solid green,
the GC-MS/MS system is at temperature. If the Heaters light is blinking orange, the ion
source, ion optics and/or transfer line are not at temperature. If the Heaters light is not lit, the
heaters are not turned on.
You may also use the TSQ Series Dashboard to check the vacuum of your system. If your
system has achieved sufficient vacuum, a green check mark appears next to
Vacuum on the
dashboard.
Note Until the Vacuum light is a solid green (high vacuum is achieved), the heaters will
not power on and the Heaters light will not be lit.
