1-8 Instrument Description
Heated transfer line
To ensure the equipment’s proper operation, a Waters service engineer
establishes the optimum position of the heated transfer line within the mass
spectrometer’s source.
Important:
Once the position of the heated transfer line is set, you must not
change it.

Warning:
To avoid burn injuries, take great care when working with the
heated transfer line. The line heats during normal use, and hot gas can
escape from the capillary column’s tip. Use the APGC protection cap to
cover the tip when you withdraw the tube from the source enclosure for
extended periods.
Warning:
To avoid burn injuries, the locking ring of the heated transfer
line must be replaced by a Waters field engineer when the line is
defective.
Caution:
To avoid damaging the capillary column, do not operate the
heated transfer line at temperatures greater than those recommended
by the capillary column manufacturer.
