Installing and removing the corona pin

4-15

Removing the corona pin from the source

Required material

Chemical-resistant, powder-free gloves

To remove the corona pin from the source:

1. Prepare the instrument for working on the source (see 

page 4-7

).

2. Pull the source enclosure release (located at the bottom, right-hand side) 

outward, and swing open the enclosure.

3. Remove the corona pin from its mounting contact (see the figure on 

page 4-14

).

Tip: 

Store the corona pin in a safe location.

4. Fit the blanking plug to the corona pin mounting contact (see the figure 

on 

page 4-13

).

5. Close the source enclosure.

Warning: 

The LC system connections, ESI probe, and source can 

be contaminated with biohazardous and/or toxic materials. Always 

wear chemical-resistant, powder-free gloves while performing this 

procedure.

Warning: 

To avoid electric shock, ensure that the instrument is pre-

pared for working on the source before commencing this procedure.

Warning: 

The source can be hot. To avoid burn injuries, take great 

care while working with the instrument’s source enclosure open.

Warning: 

The ESI probe tip is sharp. To avoid puncture wounds, 

take great care while working with the source enclosure open if an 

ESI probe is fitted.
