Removing and refitting the source enclosure

Remove the source enclosure to gain access to the source components that need routine cleaning
and replacement.

3.6.1

Removing the source enclosure from the instrument

Required material

Chemical-resistant, powder-free gloves

To remove the source enclosure:

Power-off the instrument using the power button in the top, left-hand corner of the front
panel.

Wait for approximately 5 minutes, to allow the instrument to vent.

Open the source enclosure door.

To disconnect the source enclosure’s electrical cable from the front of the instrument,
loosen the screws and pull the cable from the socket.

Loosen the 2 thumbscrews on the front of the source enclosure.

Warning:

To avoid electric shock,

• do not remove the instrument’s panels. There are no user-serviceable items inside the

instrument.

• ensure that the instrument is in Standby mode before commencing any maintenance.

Warning:

The probe and source can be hot. To avoid burn injuries, take great care while

working with these components.

Notice:

When performing maintenance inside the source enclosure, ensure that the

following criteria are met:
• Instrument is in Standby mode.
• LC flow is stopped.
• Desolvation gas is turned off.

Warning:

The source components can be contaminated with biohazards or toxic materials.

Always wear chemical-resistant, powder-free gloves while performing this procedure.

Notice:

To avoid damaging the fragile probe, use care when removing it from the source

enclosure.
