2-2 Starting Up and Shutting Down the Mass Spectrometer
Starting the mass spectrometer
The Waters SYNAPT G2 MS is compatible with the ACQUITY UPLC and
nanoACQUITY UPLC systems. If you are not using either of these systems,
refer to the documentation relevant to your LC system.
Starting the mass spectrometer entails powering-on the MassLynx
workstation, logging in to the workstation, powering-on the mass
spectrometer and all other ACQUITY UPLC instruments, and starting the
MassLynx software.
Requirement:
You must power-on and log in to the MassLynx workstation
first to ensure that it obtains the IP addresses of the system instruments.
See the mass spectrometer’s online Help for details on MassLynx and
IntelliStart applications.
To start the mass spectrometer
1. Ensure that all the mass spectrometer’s external connections are in
place (see Appendix B , “External Connections” ).
2. Power-on the MassLynx PC, and log in before powering-on the other
instruments.
3. On the instrument’s rear panel, ensure that the pump override switch is
in the auto position, and the EPC, vacuum, and electronics main power
switches are switched on (see page 1-19 ).
Result:
Each system component runs a series of startup tests.
4. Allow 4 minutes for the embedded PC to initialize.
Caution:
Using incompatible solvents can severely damage the
instrument. For more details, refer to the following sources:
•
Appendix C , “Materials of construction and compliant solvents” , for
mass spectrometer solvent information.
• Appendix C of the ACQUITY UPLC System Operator’s Guide (part
number 71500082502), for solvent compatibility with ACQUITY
UPLC devices.
Warning:
To avoid ignition of flammable solvents, never let the nitrogen
supply pressure fall below 400 kPa (4 bar, 58 psi).
