 To reinstall the ion source interface
1. Orient the ion source interface as shown in
2. Carefully insert the ion source interface into the vacuum manifold until it snaps into
place.
3. Reinstall the API source housing.
For instructions, refer to Chapter 2, "Setting Up the API Source," in the LTQ Series
Getting Started Guide.
4. Start the system as described in
page 37.
Chemicals accumulating on the surfaces of multipole MP00 and lens L0 form an insulating
layer that can modify the electrical fields controlling ion transmission. Clean ion guide
components are essential to properly operate the mass spectrometer. The cleaning frequency
depends on the type and quantity of the compounds that you analyze.
To clean or replace the MP00 rf lens components, follow these procedures:
1. Removing the MP00 RF Lens Assembly
2. Disassembling the MP00 RF Lens
3. Cleaning the MP00 RF Lens Assembly
4. Reassembling the MP00 RF Lens
5. Reinstalling the MP00 RF Lens
