Installing the MSD system includes the following steps:
• Unpacking and inspecting shipped materials
• Installing the GC
• Installing the MSD
• Installing the computer and peripherals
• Integrating the GC and MSD
• Evaluating performance
• Familiarizing the customer with the system
Installing CI MSD systems requires additional steps:
• PFDTD calibrant added to calibration vial
• Methane/isobutane gas purifier installation
• Methane reagent gas line and gas purifier purge
• Methane reagent gas line hookup
After system performance has been verified in EI mode, the
MSD must be switched to CI mode and evaluated:
• CI ion source and CI interface tip seal installation
• Bakeout and purge at least 2 hours
• CI setup
• PCI autotune and sensitivity verification
• NCI autotune and sensitivity verification
The 59864B vacuum gauge controller is required for CI
operation.
