3.2 Spare parts
To ensure that your system operates as designed, use only Waters Quality Parts. Visit
for information about Waters Quality Parts, including how to order them.
3.3 Replacing fuses
Warning:
To avoid electrical fire, ensure that replacement fuses comply with the
ratings affixed to the rear panel of the module.
Warning:
To avoid electric shock, disconnect the mass spectrometer from the power
supply before replacing fuses. The mass spectrometer has two fuses and uses double
pole/neutral fusing circuitry. Circuits can remain live even when one fuse has blown.
If either of the instrument's fuses, located on the rear panel, rupture or become otherwise faulty,
replace it with a fuse of this type and rating.
