Transpector XPR 3+ Operating Manual
Poor
sensitivity
Sensor contaminated
Degas sensor.
Bake-out sensor.
Service sensor.
System pressure too low
Increase sample pressure, if
possible.
Mass calibration (resolution)
Adjust Mass Calibration,
increase peak width.
Sensor operating
parameters set wrong
Check settings of: electron
energy, ion energy, focus
emission current.
Improper calibration
Ensure that the total pressure
gauge used for sensitivity
calibration was properly
calibrated.
Electronics failure
Return to INFICON for repair.
EM has low gain
Bake-out sensor.
Replace sensor.
Poor peak shape
Sensor contaminated
Degas sensor.
Bake-out sensor.
Service sensor.
System pressure too high
Verify pressure less than
2E-2 Torr for
Transpector XPR 3+.
Mass calibration required
Perform mass calibration.
Electronics failure
Return to INFICON for repair.
