Safety Instructions
Please read all of these instructions carefully
before starting the installation of the GC-APPI-
Interface and follow all recommendations.
1)
Set the mass spectrometer to “off” mode.
2)
Cool down the heated capillary of the
mass spectrometer
3)
When removing the ESI sprayer be aware
that the heated capillary may still be hot.
4)
Caution
: don’t squeeze your fingers when
closing the cover of the interface
5)
Please use nitrile gloves, or similar ones,
to ensure your own safety and avoid
contamination.
6)
Always
unplug the heater cable before
detaching the interface from the mass
spectrometer.
Never
connect the
interface heater cables when the APPI
interface is not attached to the mass
spectrometer. There is a
high risk
of over-
heating because the fan is not running.
Caution: hot surface with high risk to get burned!
During operation, the Interface housing may warm
up to 65 deg. C. When the interface is opened, the
heater is automatically turned off but the source
may still be very hot (up to 330 deg. C, depending
on the operating temperature).
We also recommend watching the GC-APPI-
Interface installation video to familiarize yourself
with the procedure. This video has been provided
on a USB stick with the interface. Alternatively,
you can download it using the following link:
