Page 30: Performance Specifications
HAPSITE Smart Operating Manual 1.2 Performance Specifications The performance specifications for the HAPSITE are shown below: Mass range ....1-300 AMU Scan Rate ....as much as 1000 AMU/sec @ 10 points per Ionization Mode .
Page 31: Theory Of Operation
HAPSITE Smart Operating Manual 1.4 Theory of Operation The HAPSITE combines two analytical techniques, gas chromatography and mass spectrometry, to separate, identify, and measure the organic components in a gas phase sample. Using a flow of inert nitrogen carrier gas, the gas chromatograph (GC) performs a time separation (Retention Time) of the sample compounds.
Page 32: Instrument Overview
HAPSITE Smart Operating Manual 1.5 Instrument Overview The HAPSITE system is comprised of two modules:  the HAPSITE, also known as the Analytical Module, and  the Service Module. The HAPSITE is comprised of many systems and subsystems. Figure 1-1 shows a diagram of the major subsystems.
Page 33 HAPSITE Smart Operating Manual The inside of the column is coated with a thin layer of a material known as the stationary phase. The stationary phase is a chemical which can selectively attract components in a sample mixture. The mixture of sample compounds in the mobile phase interact with the chemicals of the stationary phase.
Page 34: Membrane Isolation Valve
HAPSITE Smart Operating Manual The performance of the column is affected by temperature, therefore, the column is housed in a temperature controlled oven. The gas chromatograph performs many operational functions, including injecting the sample, analyzing the sample, flushing the system, and tuning the system.
Page 35 HAPSITE Smart Operating Manual The inlet flow from the membrane isolation valve is brought directly to the ionizer. Within the ionizer, the component introduced from the inlet flow is subjected to a bombardment of electrons which are boiled off the hot filament. Collisions with the energetic electrons remove one electron from some of the gas molecules, leaving them with a net positive charge.
Page 36: Vacuum System
HAPSITE Smart Operating Manual Alternatively, the mass spectrometer can remain tuned to a specific mass or set of masses. The instrument measures the partial pressure of only those masses as a function of time. Operation in this mode, termed selected ion monitoring (SIM), permits very sensitive measurement of the presence of one or a few compounds which have already been identified.
Page 37: Electronic Systems
HAPSITE Smart Operating Manual The diaphragm pump consists of four stages, in series. The diaphragm pump draws the gas from the exhaust of the compound pump and compresses the exhaust gas sufficiently to discharge the exhaust into the atmosphere. 1.6.4 Electronic Systems The electronic systems in the HAPSITE are considered in four groups: ...
Page 38 HAPSITE Smart Operating Manual data from the mass spectrometer, accesses the libraries as required, and displays the results of the analyses on the front panel. The control software allows a method to be started with minor modifications from the front panel. Design or substantive modifications of the method require the use of the HAPSITE Application software on an external PC.

HAPSITE Smart Operating Manual Chapter 6 Methods 6.1 Introduction to Methods The versatility of the HAPSITE lies in the variety of methods available. The HAPSITE can be run in GC/MS mode, MS only mode ("Survey"), and uses various sampling accessories to extend its capabilities. The accessories include concentrator tubes, the Headspace Sampling System and the SituProbe.
Page 204 HAPSITE Smart Operating Manual CAUTION All unknown samples should first be collected with the Survey Method to estimate the total VOC response. The Survey Method allows the tester to gain knowledge of how far away to hold the probe from the sample and if a concentrator needs to be used.
Page 205: Building A Survey Method Library File
HAPSITE Smart Operating Manual 6.2.1 Building a Survey Method Library File Survey methods can be designed for data collection in three manners:  without identification.  qualitative analysis and identification based on match with the AMDIS library.  Quantitative/Qualitative analysis, identification and quantification from a target library and unknown identification using the AMDIS library.

HAPSITE Smart Operating Manual Chapter 7 Tune 7.1 Introduction to Autotune and Manual Tune Ensuring the mass spectrometer (MS) performance requires the MS functionality to be checked at startup and after 8 hours of continuous operation. The process of verifying the function of the Mass Spectrometer is called Tune. Tune can be accomplished by either the Autotune program, where the system sets and adjust all parameters, or by a Manual Tune where the user sets the parameters.
Page 212: Autotune
HAPSITE Smart Operating Manual 7.2 Autotune There are two versions of the Autotune program: Short and Long. The Short Autotune program is the daily maintenance tune of the HAPSITE and is pre-configured to run automatically at startup, after the system has been powered OFF and ON and a method selected, or after an eight hour period of operation.
Page 213 Autotune is intended to be run when an ionizer has been replaced or the Short Autotune cannot maintain system performance. The Long Autotune must be invoked from the Manual Tune program.

HAPSITE Smart Operating Manual 15.8 Replacing the Ionizer of the Mass Spectrometer The ionizer is located in the mass spectrometer vacuum manifold behind the NEG Pump, or a blank off plate if a NEG Pump is not installed. The NEG pump must be removed in this procedure.
Page 499 HAPSITE Smart Operating Manual Vent the HAPSITE by choosing Vent HAPSITE on the Service window of the Service Module tab in the Properties window or from the Front Panel by selecting System/Service HAPSITE/Vent HAPSITE. This starts a process which includes monitoring the cooling of the NEG Pump. See Figure 15-44.
Page 500 HAPSITE Smart Operating Manual CAUTION The NEG Pump becomes very hot when in operation. The software-controlled sequence to remove the pump provides a cool down period time to cool. This sequencing must not be bypassed. In addition to the danger of burns from handling the hot flange, the reactive metal alloys within the pump can ignite if exposed to atmospheric pressure while hot.
