8. Connect the mains cable on the 12 VDC power supply to the power bar.

9. Connect the power bar to the mains power supply.

WARNING! Electrical Shock Hazard. Use only power cables supplied with
the product. For markets where power cables are not supplied, use only
power cables that are properly rated and certified for the local market.
Do not use cables that are not properly rated and certified.

Tip! 

Use cable ties to bundle up unused lengths of cables, as required.

10. Turn on the illuminator.

WARNING! Hot Surface Hazard. Let the NanoSpray

®

 ion source cool for at

least 60 minutes before starting any maintenance procedures.  Surfaces of
the ion source become hot during operation.

The procedure for changing from a NanoSpray

®

 ion source to a Turbo V

TM

, IonDrive

TM

 Turbo V, DuoSpray

TM

, or

PhotoSpray

®

 ion source varies depending on whether the OptiFlow

TM

 interface components are installed on the

mass spectrometer.

• If they are installed, then the nano cell heater assembly and curtain plate must be removed, and the standard

curtain plate installed. Refer to 

Change to a Different Ion Source (OptiFlow

TM

 Interface Components)

.

Note: 

Because the orifice plate does not need to be changed, the system need not be shut down and vented.

• If they are not installed, then the NanoSpray

®

 interface components must be removed, and the standard

interface components installed. Refer to 

Change to a Different Ion Source (NanoSpray

.

The procedure for changing from a different ion source to the NanoSpray
