Instructions for Use

Spectrometer

Store the Ion Source/Preamplifier sub-assembly in a cool, dry area in a
tightly sealed, ESD protected container. Wear lint-free gloves when handling
WARNING
the spectrometer. Wash hands thoroughly after handling the spectrometer
filaments and especially before smoking or eating.
The spectrometer operates at a very high vacuum produced by the high vacuum

Pumps

To avoid injury, use proper lifting techniques when moving pumps. Two
people may be required to move pumps safely.
WARNING
The vacuum pumps are also compressors; incorrect operation may be
WARNING

The pumps are designed to prevent any thermal risk for user safety.
However, specific operating conditions may generate temperatures >70 °C.
Hot oil burns the skin. Service of the pumps in this area must be performed
by authorized personnel only. Stand back from a mechanical pump before
