Investigating Temperature Issues
130 ISQ 7000 Hardware Manual
The ion source and transfer line are heated zones in the ISQ 7000 mass spectrometer
controlled by the lens driver PCB.
Often, a temperature issue is the result of downloading a method to the ISQ 7000 system that
has a different setpoint from the current setting, which causes a delay while the heated zone
adjusts the temperature. Component failures are rare, but are usually caused by open circuits
in the heater cartridges or damaged temperature sensors.
When you run Temperature Check diagnostics on the ISQ 7000 system, the Xcalibur
software checks the temperature readbacks from the heaters and internal temperature devices.
Your instrument or software may indicate the following types of issues.
WARNING ELECTRICAL SHOCK HAZARD: When troubleshooting any issue that requires
removing a cover on the ISQ 7000 instrument, you should power-off and vent the
instrument to avoid harming yourself.
AVERTISSEMENT RISQUE D'ÉLECTROCUTION : lorsque vous cherchez à résoudre un
problème nécessitant d'enlever le couvercle du spectromètre de masse ISQ 7000, mettez
hors tension et ventilez l'instrument pour éviter de vous blesser.
