Models 947, 948 and 960 Leak Detectors Operations and Service Manual
xxx
NOTE
VacuSolv, included in the Component and Spectrometer Tube
Cleaning Kit (Part No. 670029096), is recommended for
cleaning the spectrometer tube components.
VacuSolv can also be used for fine cleaning of other parts in the
leak detector’s vacuum system, such as valves and fittings. No
rinsing steps or high-temperature drying is required following
cleaning with VacuSolv. Although appropriate precautions are
advised, VacuSolv is compatible with most materials and does
not contain toxic chemicals or CFCs (chlorofluorocarbons).
Spectrometer Tube
CAUTION
The spectrometer tube operates at a very high vacuum
produced by the high vacuum pump. Service of the
spectrometer tube requires that this vacuum be vented to the
atmosphere.
CAUTION
Do not use grease or other substance on O-rings that will come
in contact with the spectrometer tube.
CAUTION
If the spectrometer tube magnet comes in contact with a
magnetic surface, the magnet may lose its field strength,
causing the spectrometer tube to lose sensitivity.
WARNING
Store the ion source in a cool, dry area in a tightly sealed
container. Wash hands thoroughly after handling the ion
source, especially before smoking or eating.
Pumps
WARNING
To avoid injury, use proper lifting techniques when moving
pumps. Your system may have pumps that require two people
to move them safely.
WARNING
The vacuum pumps are also compressors; incorrect operation
may be dangerous. Study the “Installation and Operation
Manual” enclosed with your pump before starting pumps.
