Resetting the Mass Spectrometer
In the unlikely event that communication is lost between the MS and data system computer,
you can reset the MS by using the reset button (1 in
) located on the right-side
communications panel.
With both the MS and data system computer on and operational, hold down the reset button
on the right-side communication panel for 3 seconds.

Reset button (1) on the communication panel
The following occurs:
• The embedded computer restarts. All LEDs on the front panel turn off except the
Power LED.
• After several more seconds, the Communication LED turns yellow and then green to
indicate that the MS and the data system are communicating. The data system
transfers operational software to the MS.
After a few minutes, the System LED turns yellow to indicate that the software transfer
from the data system to the MS is complete and that the MS is in standby mode. When
you change the mode from standby to on, the System LED turns green to indicate that
the MS is functional.
