3 Installation 3.1 Unpacking Note Store the transport fastening devices and re-install them before transporting the product again. 3.2 Montage DANGER Voltages up to 330 VDC appear on the QMA 200 during operation. Other parts in the vacuum chamber (e.g. gauges) may possibly be exposed to this voltage under unfavorable conditions.
3.2.1 Required space Note Note the required installation depth. Do not kink the cables. Note The QMA 200 F may only be installed in flanges or rubes with an internal diameter ≥37 mm, otherwise short circuits to the wall can occur. The diameter of the extension tube for the QMA 200 M must be at least 40.5 mm.
3.2.3 QMA installation DANGER The analyzer flange must be properly grounded. • By connecting with all 6 screws to the properly grounded. vacuum system. • If the mounting flange is not grounded, the QMA 200 flange (grounding screw M4) must be connected to the protective ground by means of a separate ground conductor.
3.2.4 QME installation DANGER The QME may be mounted only to a correctly installed QMA as the only ground connection is via the QMA flange. The 24 V feeder line from the SP 200 must never be connected if QMA is not screw fastened to the QME.

5 Maintenance 5.1 QMA 5.1.1 Filament change Skilled personnel Filaments are supplied as preassembled units. They should only be changed by qualified personnel. Detach all electrical connections to the QME. Separate the QME from the analyzer by performing the same steps described in Chapter 3.2.5 but in reverse order.
Support bracket Replacement cathode Replacement filament assembly Open the packing tube of the replacement filament assembly. Carefully lift off the support bracket while gripping the filament assembly at the base of the protective packing. WARNING Do not touch the filament, not even with gloved hands. Mount the replacement filament on the ion source.
DANGER Disconnect the 24V power supply of the QME from the AC power source before any moist cleaning. Make sure the connectors do not get moist. No liquid must seep into the unit. Do not operate the unit until it is completely dry. 5.2.2 Replacing the filter mat Replace the filter mat if it is decomposed or if it can no longer be cleaned as described above.
5.2.3 “TUNE” of RF generator The RF circuit has to be tuned: When the unit is put into service for the first time, when the analyzer is changed (especially from Faraday to Channeltron), or when a corresponding error message is displayed on the screen. Correct tuning assures optimum measurement accuracy across the entire mass range.
Repeatedly measure the spectrum of the peak groups that are of interest because in this optimization not only the intensity but also the resolution and the peak shape are important. Standard parameters are: SPEED: 1s/u MODE: SCAN-N RESOL: RANGE: or AUTO IonRef: 150 V / Cathode: 90 V Adjust the Extraction and Focus voltages to max.
