Maintenance Procedures

Replacing the ion block source heater

Replace the ion block source heater if it fails to heat the ion block when the

instrument is pumped-down (evacuated).

Required materials

•

Chemical-resistant, powder-free gloves

•

Needle-nose pliers

•

Combined 2.5-mm Allen wrench and cone extraction tool

•

New ion block source heater

To replace the ion block source heater:

1. Remove the ion block assembly from the instrument (see

page 5-38

2. Ensure that the isolation valve is closed.

Warning:

The ion block assembly can be contaminated with

biohazardous and/or toxic materials. Always wear

chemical-resistant, powder-free gloves while performing this

procedure.

Isolation valve handle
in closed position
