DSQ II Hardware Manual

145

• The instrument is out of tune or the tune file is incompatible. Select the correct tune file

for the method or run an automatic tune.

• Ion source board is faulty, which allows the emission current to leak to ground. Replace

the ion source board.

• The magnets above and below the ion source are installed incorrectly. Position both

magnets so the south pole is on top. Electrons will not be focused into the ion volume if
one magnet is upside down.

• The ion source, lenses, or prefilter are dirty. Clean the lenses, and prefilter, ass described

“Cleaning the Ion Source, Lenses and Prefilter”

page 45

• The wrong type of ion volume is installed. EI and CI require different ion volumes. They

may not be used interchangeably.

• Method development problems are occurring. Contact Technical Support or Customer

Support.

• Prefilter is misaligned or broken. Check the alignment of the prefilter.

• Reagent gas is leaking into the analyzer and suppressing the EI signal. Check for the

presence of CI reagent ions in the spectrum. If necessary, replace the CI gas flow module,
as described in

“Replacing the CI Reagent Gas Flow Module”

page 79

• Insufficient sample delivery due to clogged syringe needle. Clean or replace the syringe.

• Incorrectly matched syringe, injection port liner, and column depth in injector. See the

GC documentation for compatible combinations.

Sensitivity is unstable or shows decrease with repeated injections.

Possible Solutions

• Electron multiplier is faulty. See

“Tuning Symptoms”

page 149

• There is a problem with the filament emission current control. See

Filament and Lens

Control Symptoms p. 130

• GC temperature ramp does not continue to a high enough temperature to elute high

boiling point compounds. Multiple injections cause these compounds to accumulate in
column, thus reducing sensitivity. Extend upper temperature or time at upper
temperature in GC oven ramp.

• Injection port liner or capillary column are contaminated. Replace the injection port liner

and trim the capillary column.

• Ion source temperature is too low, causing it to contaminate too quickly. Clean the ion

volume, lenses, and prefilter and then raise the ion source temperature. See

“Cleaning the

Ion Source, Lenses and Prefilter”

page 45

for more information.

• Ion volume or holder may be loose. Adjust the ball valve to ensure they fit snugly.
