Shutting Down the System in an Emergency

Thermo Scientific
Many maintenance procedures for the LTQ Series mass spectrometer require that the system
be shut down completely. If the system is not used for 12 hours or more, you can place the
mass spectrometer in standby mode. If the system is not used for 2 months or more, you can
shut down the mass spectrometer completely.

This switch turns off all power to the mass spectrometer, including the forepump or
forepumps, without harming components within the system. However, do not use this
method as part of the standard shutdown procedure. Instead, see
