Page 14: Step 1. Unpack The Mass Spec Bench
Installation Step 1. Unpack the Mass Spec Bench The Mass Spec Bench is packaged in a protective cardboard container that is strapped to a wooden pallet. You must cut the metal shipping straps before you can remove the unit from the pallet. The metal straps have sharp edges. - Page 15 Installation 3 Cut the metal shipping straps that secure the Mass Spec Bench to the wooden pallet. See Figure The metal straps have sharp edges.

Page 18: Step 2. Prepare The Pump Tray
Installation Step 2. Prepare the pump tray The Mass Spec Bench is designed to accommodate up to two pumps in the enclosure. The pumps must be oriented correctly to ensure proper air flow. Improper air flow can damage the pumps due to overheating. Depending upon the configuration, an LC/MS instrument can have a curved fitting on the end of the vacuum hose. - Page 19 Installation 3 Lift the pump tray out of the cardboard box. 4 Open the door completely to allow the most working space. 5 Make sure you can identify the front of the pump tray. The front of the pump tray is marked with an F. The front of the pump tray also has a short lip design.
- Page 20 Installation Figure 9 Installed pump tray 7 When the pump tray has been installed inside the enclosure, install the pump tray surface in the pump tray. Center the pump tray surface as best as possible in the pump tray. 8 Peel off the protective film and any stickers from the pump tray surface. The plastic may tear when you are peeling off the protective film.

Page 22: Step 3. Install The Rough Pumps Inside Mass Spec Bench
Installation Step 3. Install the Rough Pumps inside Mass Spec Bench The rough pump(s) must be oriented correctly when installed. The rough pumps have either multiple cooling fans or a single fan. If the pump contains oil, the sight glass (used to check the oil level in the pump) must face the door. Otherwise, oil level in the pump will be difficult to determine. - Page 23 Installation The metal oil drip tray is designed to: • Capture any oil that leaks from the pumps. • Allow for easier installation. (The pumps have rubber feet to prevent them from moving while operating, but the feet make it difficult to slide the pumps into place.) 3 Slide the pumps to the Mass Spec Bench access door.
- Page 24 Installation Figure 14 Tilting the Edwards Rough Pump Temporarily extend the castors to keep the Mass Spec Bench from moving while you install N O T E the pumps into the enclosure. 4 Lift the rear of the metal oil drip tray with the pump on it and rest it on the frame of the Mass Spec Bench.

- Page 27 Installation Figure 18 Dual foreline hose installation 8 Route the Tygon exhaust hose and power cord for each pump through one of the remaining ports. Repeat if there is a second pump. The exhaust hose and power cords use the same ports, so use the foam knock outs to fill the remaining area of the hose port on the Mass Spec Bench.

Installation Step 4. Attach the spray chamber exhaust hose Do this step for LC/MS systems only. 1 Route the spray chamber exhaust hose through the hole in the Mass Spec Bench surface. 2 Attach the spray chamber exhaust hose to the desolvation assembly. Use the hose clamp to secure the chamber exhaust hose in place. -

Page 37: To Change Rough Pump Oil
Operation To change rough pump oil Change the rough pump oil every six months. Refer to your ICP/MS, GC/MS or LC/MS Maintenance Guide for detailed information on how to change your pump oil. 1 If your rough pump has a ballast value, make sure that the valve is closed. 2 Properly vent the system. - Page 38 Operation provides easier access to the drain port. Be careful not to slide out the pump too far. 7 Remove the oil drain plug from your rough pump. Refer to your pump documentation. See Figure 8 Reinstall the drain plug when the oil has completely drained. Wipe up any spilled or excess oil.
