Rear Panel Controls and Connections

Thermo Scientific
The rear panel of the Surveyor MSQ Plus MS detector is shown in
controls and connections include the following:
• Mains On/Off
• Pump Out
• Mains In
• USB port
• User I/O panel
• Reset button
• Source line
• Backing line
• Exhaust line
• Gas In
The main power circuit breaker switch (labeled MAINS ON/OFF), the power source for the
forepump (labeled PUMP OUT), and the connection to line power (labeled MAINS IN) are
located in the lower-right corner of the rear panel of the MS Detector. In the Off (O)
position, the circuit breaker removes all power to the MS detector, including the forepump
(rotary vacuum pump). In the On (I) position, power is supplied to the MS detector and the
forepump (rotary vacuum pump). In the standard operational mode, the circuit breaker is
kept in the On (I) position.
The power supply requirements for the Surveyor MSQ Plus MS detector are 230 Vac,
regulated to ± 5% at 50 or 60 Hz. The Surveyor MSQ Plus MS detector ships with power
cords appropriate to its shipping destination.
A USB port, an eight-terminal contact closure connector (labeled USER I/O), and a reset
button are located in the upper-right corner of the rear panel. A USB cable connects the
Surveyor MSQ Plus MS detector to the data system computer. Hardwiring terminals 1 and 2
on the User I/O panel to the autosampler provides contact closure. Pressing the reset button
downloads the software (firmware) for the Surveyor MSQ Plus MS detector from the data
system.
Three manifolds are located on the left-side of the rear panel. The lines that exit the source
and backing manifolds are connected to the forepump (also referred to as a backing pump,
rotary vacuum pump, or roughing pump). The line that exits the exhaust manifold is
connected to a solvent trap, which is connected to a user-supplied fume hood or industrial
vent.
