To remove the spectrometer top cover, it may be necessary to first pull straight out the
thermocouple gauge (shown in Figure 2-2 with the red arrow. It is shown without the
outside black plastic cover). Leave the thermocouple gauge connected to its wiring. Use an
M3 Phillips head screw driver to remove the four screws securing it. The screw shown in
the top right of Figure 2-2 will be securing a grounding strap. Leave the ground strap
hanging from the leak detector frame. Disconnect the two electrical cables plugged into
the spectrometer board, the pre-amp RJ45 style connector on the turbo side of the
spectrometer, and the ion source multi-pin connector (Cables not shown for clarity: refer to
Figure 2-3). Remove the top cover, set aside with the screws.
