Safety Precautions
Observe the following safety precautions when you operate or perform service on the ion
source.
Regulatory Compliance
Thermo Fisher Scientific performs complete testing and evaluation of its products to ensure
full compliance with applicable North American and European regulations. The EASY-Spray
Series ion sources were tested as part of the Thermo Scientific MS system, which meets the
applicable requirements for electromagnetic compatibility (EMC) and product safety. For
additional regulatory information, refer to the MS manuals.
Unauthorized changes that you make to your system will void regulatory compliance and may
defeat the built-in protections for your instrument. Some examples of unauthorized changes
include using replacement parts or adding components, options, or peripherals that Thermo
Fisher Scientific has not qualified and authorized. Unauthorized changes can also result in
bodily injury and/or damage to your system and laboratory.
Ensure continued compliance with regulatory standards:
• Follow all installation instructions provided in the documentation that comes with your
system.
• Order replacement parts (as specified in the instrument manual) and additional
components, options, and peripherals directly from Thermo Fisher Scientific or an
authorized representative.
CAUTION Do not perform any servicing other than that contained in this manual.
To
avoid personal injury or damage to the ion source, do not perform any servicing other
than that contained in this manual or related manuals unless you are qualified to do so.
CAUTION
The ion source must connect to a certified Thermo Scientific MS, which
supplies high voltage capable of delivering a maximum of 8 kV and 100 μA. If you
connect the source to another type of MS, you might impair the protection provided by
the equipment.
