Page 4: Introduction
Instructions for Use 1 Introduction The MSQ10LA is a self-contained nitrogen generator designed specifically for use with Liquid Chromatography/Mass Spectrometry (LC/MS) analytical instruments as a source of carrier gas. The generator has been designed to operate totally independent of an external air supply and only requires an electrical supply to deliver high volume, high pressure, clean, dry, pure nitrogen. -
Page 5: Air Connection
Instructions for Use 4 Air Connection The MSQ10LA generator has its own built-in air compressor and therefore does not require an external compressed air source. The generator has one bulkhead connection to the rear of the unit. This is supplied with a 6mm push-in fitting. -

MSQ10LA Nitrogen Generator Instructions for Use 6 Commissioning With the generator installed as described earlier, connect power to the unit and turn it on. Disconnect the nitrogen outlet connection to allow the generator to vent to atmosphere until the unit is stabilized. At Switch On, the exhaust valve will open and the generator will commence its Venting Cycle. -
Page 7: Routine Inspection
Instructions for Use 7 Routine Inspection Due to the simplicity of the design and the small number of moving parts, the MSQ10LA Nitrogen Generator will have a long and trouble-free life. However, as with all scientific and technical equipment, the generator should be regularly inspected by a competent person and the following points noted. - Page 8 MSQ10LA Nitrogen Generator Instructions for Use Coalescing Filter and Exhaust Silencer 1. Switch the generator OFF and disconnect it from the electrical supply. Remove the fuse from the Euro-socket to prevent the generator being inadvertently switched on by another person.

Page 9: Troubleshooting
MSQ10LA Nitrogen Generator Instructions for Use 8 Troubleshooting The PSA method for nitrogen production is the most reliable of the popular methods. Many thousands of PSA systems are currently operating worldwide and have given many years of trouble-free operation. Provided the CMS material is protected from oils and oxygen enrichment, the purity of the nitrogen produced will remain consistent over the lifetime of the machine. -

MSQ10LA Nitrogen Generator Instructions for Use Compressor Requirements The intake filter requires periodic replacement. Initial inspection should be after 500 hours operation. Most compressor-related problems can be prevented by keeping the filter clean. A dirty inlet filter will decrease compressor performance and may shorten its life. -
