Installation  

Installation requirements 

The SUPER SESI is an ion source for mass spectrometry analysis. In order to function, it must be 
coupled with a compatible mass spectrometer. It requires an electric power receptacle 230 V 
ac, ±10%, frequency of 50/60 Hz, single phase. The SUPER SESI must be powered with the same 
ground connection, and the same phase as the mass spectrometer. 

A small table located near the working area is required to place the source and the different 
components during initial installation and routine operation. 

SUPER SESI is designed to operate under the following conditions: 

 

Indoor use; altitude up to 2 000 m; temperature 5°C to 40°C; maximum relative humidity 
80% for temperatures up to 31°C, decreasing linearly to 50% at 40°C; 

 

TRANSIENT OVERVOLTAGES up to the levels of OVERVOLTAGE CATEGORY ll;  

 

applicable POLLUTION DEGREE of the intended environment (POLLUTION DEGREE 2). 

IMPORTANT NOTE

 SUPER SESI does not incorporate circuit breakers or residual current 

breakers. It only incorporates protection overcurrent fuses (1A). The user must ensure 
that  the  electrical  power  installation  for  SUPER  SESI  provides  the  required  electrical 
protections, in accordance with local legislation. 

Unboxing the SUPER SESI 

The SUPER SESI is packed with the nano-amperemeter, the vial holder, the electrospray probe 
and the Mass Flow Controller in their working position. In order to protect the SUPER SESI from 
contamination during shipping, the MS interface is covered with a stainless steel cover. To get 
the SUPER SESI out of its original packaging, grab the Handles and lift the SUPER SESI. Remove 
the parafilm before using the SUPER SESI. 

CAUTION

 Do not grab the sample line to lift the SUPER SESI. 

IMPORTANT NOTE

 Make sure that no Parafilm is left  on the SUPER SESI before you 

start using it. In particular, make sure that all Parafilm is removed before you start the 
SUPER SESI heaters. 

Along with the SUPER SESI, you will also find the  following: a power cord, a syringe and the 
battery charger for the nano-amperemeter. 

IMPORTANT NOTE

 Keeping the original packaging to store the SUPER SESI is strongly 

advisable to prevent contamination of your SUPER SESI when it is not being used. The 
SUPER SESI should be transported in its original package. 

Coupling the SUPER SESI and the Mass Spectrometer 

Before coupling the SUPER SESI to the Mass Spectrometer, the original Ion source and the ion 
sweep cone must be removed. Remove the Thermo ion source housing and the ion sweep cone 
from the mass spectrometer following the instructions indicated in the Operating Manual of the 
instrument. Once these components are removed, the inlet of your mass spectrometer should 
have the appearance of the figure 9:
