5. Analyser Installation
This section deals with getting the equipment out of its box and installing it on your system. If you have any
questions or experience any difficulties, contact your local MKS Instruments representative who will be able
to advise you.
5.1 Unpacking
When you receive the Microvision2 carefully check each item before removing the foam packaging and
plastic wrapping, to ensure that no physical damage has occurred during shipment. Also, make sure all
items have been received correctly by checking each item against the enclosed packing slip.
If there has been obvious damage during shipment, or if there are items listed on the packing slip as
shipped which are not in the box, immediately contact your local MKS sales/service representative.
5.2 Inspecting the analyser
The analyser is both fragile and very easily contaminated by the slightest touch from your fingers or
undesirable surfaces.
Handle the analyser ONLY at the vacuum flange.
Once you have inspected the analyser, return it to the protective envelope until you are ready for
installation.
The analyser is supplied vacuum sealed inside a vac-formed plastic envelope for protection. Carefully
unfold the envelope to allow access to the analyser. Do not discard this packaging.
Hold the analyser at the flange, with the quadrupole and ioniser structure vertically up. Carefully inspect all
the observable insulators for damage.
Look at each lead from the flange to its termination point to ensure that it does not touch any other element
of the analyser.
If any damage is noted, contact your local MKS representative for advice before fitting the quadrupole
