PurIon temperatures are stabilizing.
[r] seconds remain. (where [r] is a number)
The PurIon vacuum level is too low to operate. Please
verify that the roughing pump is on and operating cor-
rectly.
Pirani Pressure: [s1] mbar. (where s1 is the vacuum read-
ing).
The PurIon has been shut down. It will be unavailable for
use until the NextGen unit has been rebooted. Please
ensure the PurIon and fluid interface are both turned on
before rebooting the NextGen unit.
The splitter valve seals have exceeded their recom-
mended life. The PurIon will continue to operate, but
there is an increased possibility of leakage at the splitter
valve and loss of PurIon detection during a separation.
No ion source is detected on the PurIon. Please ensure
that the ion source is properly installed and connected. If
the source is still not detected, contact a qualified service
technician. Error 309
A plug has occurred in the PurIon fluid lines. The separa-
tion can be continued without PurIon detection or contin-
ued if the plug is corrected. Error 310
The PurIon inlet cone may be plugged which could pre-
vent detection. Continued operation will not cause dam-
age. Please contact a qualified service technician to
clean the cone; Pirani Pressure: [s1] mbar. Error 315
A plug has occurred in the PurIon fluid lines. The plug
must be corrected to allow continued operation. Error
316.
The ionization probe (ESI or APCI) isn't fully seated into
the ion source housing. Please ensure the probe is fully
seated, then press OK to continue. Error 317.
The fluid interface pressure is too low. Error 325

Error Codes and Resolutions
The PurIon has several areas with heaters. The software
has a set timer to allow temperatures to come up to oper-
ating conditions. After that time, a separate error is thrown
if the heaters are not within an acceptable band. The
default time is 300 seconds after entering the operate
condition.
During the standby condition most heaters are set to OFF
except the inlet capillary with is set to 50 °C during
standby.
The Pirani pressure must be below 5.5E-3 mbar before
the PurIon turbo pump will operate. If trying to place the
PurIon in operate without turning on the roughing pump,
this message will appear.
This error generally occurs if the user forgets to turn the
roughing pump back on after cleaning the capillary or
changing the pump oil.
This message is displayed after the PurIon has been suc-
cessfully shut down through the S
serves as a reminder that a NextGen reboot will be nec-
essary for the PurIon to be enabled again by the NextGen
system.
The splitter valve supplier has stated that typical valve life
exceeds 1,000,000 actuations. After that time, there is no
method of determining when it will leak. The valve can be
rebuilt using the valve rebuild kit (P/N:60-5234-629) or
continue to use and monitor for leakage. Leakage should
not drip out the bottom of the fluid interface front cover.
The PurIon has reported that the ion source high voltage
cable is not properly plugged into its socket. This is the
cable with the round connector and is to the right and
behind the ion source.
This generally occurs upon changing or cleaning probes.
This error message is displayed if a plug is detected
during a separation.
During normal operation, the Pirani pressure should be
>1.5E-3 mbar. Anything less is an indication of either par-
tial or complete plugging of the capillary cone entrance to
the vacuum area. See Capillary Inlet Cone Cleaning
(5.7.10).
This error occurs if the tubing is plugged while the
method development screen is in use. See cleaning the
probe capillary (5.7.3).
On PurIon systems (not PurIon S or PurIon L), the probe
isn't seated properly. Loosen the thumbscrew on the front
of the ion source housing, push down on the probe, then
tighten the thumbscrew.
This could be due to lack of carrier fluid, loss of pump
prime, or leakage.
