Shutdown Procedures
Emergency Shutdown
In the event of having to shut down the instrument in an emergency, proceed as
follows:
Switch OFF the power at the wall mounted isolation switch(es), if fitted. If not,
switch the power off at the rear of the instrument and switch off all peripherals.
Isolate any LC systems to prevent solvent flowing into the source.
A loss of data is likely.
Overnight Shutdown
When the instrument is to be left unattended for any length of time, for example
overnight or at weekends, proceed as follows:
Switch off the LC pumps.
On the MassLynx top-level window, click on to launch the tune page.
Click on .
This changes from green to grey indicating that the instrument is no longer in
operate mode.
Undo the finger-tight connector on the probe to release the tubing leading from
the LC system.
Before disconnecting the probe, it is good practice to temporarily remove the
probe and flush it of any salts, buffers or acids.
If APcI is being used, switch off the probe heater or reduce it to ambient
temperature.
Caution: Leaving the APcI probe hot with no gas or liquid flow shortens the
lifetime of the probe heater.
Select Gas followed by Gas to turn off the supply of nitrogen gas.
If the instrument is not to be used for a long period of time:
Reduce Source Temp to 60°C.
