3. Remove the lint-free cloth from the bottom of the source enclosure.

4. Insert the entrance cone into the source block, and then turn it counter-clockwise.

Figure 63

page 82

5. Install the probe heater:

a. Remove the probe heater from its holder, and then rotate the black knobs of the

probe heater, so that they face away from each other. See

Figure 56

page 74

b. Insert the tube portion of the probe heater into the probe mount.

Rotate the black knobs of the probe heater forward to their locking position. See

Figure 55

page 74

6. Install the API probe:

a. Turn the locking plate clockwise to the open position and carefully insert the

ESI probe (P/N FM102595) (see

(P/N FM102587) (see

) into the probe heater.

b. Turn the locking plate counterclockwise into the closed position.

Screw the PEEK fingertight fitting into the ESI probe assembly (P/N FM102595) or
APCI probe assembly (P/N FM102587).

7. Pump down the MS detector:

a. Right-click the

Surveyor MSQ Plus Server

icon in the System Tray portion of the

Windows Taskbar to open the shortcut menu.

The Server icon is red because the system is vented.

Note

The entrance cone assembly is reverse-threaded. Therefore, to remove it, you

turn it clockwise. To install it, you turn it counter-clockwise.

Cone wash nozzle

Corona pin knob

CAUTION

Take care not to damage the tip of the API probe capillary. If you are

installing the ESI probe, take care not to damage its ceramic sleeve.
