Preface

Safety Precautions

xii MSQ Plus Mass Detector Getting Connected Guide Thermo Scientific

Safety Precautions

Observe the following safety precautions when you operate or perform service on the MSQ

Plus Mass Detector:

Do not perform any servicing other than that contained in the MSQ Plus Mass Detector

Hardware Manual. To avoid personal injury or damage to the instrument, do not perform

any servicing other than that contained in the MSQ Plus Mass Detector Hardware Manual or

related manuals unless you are qualified to do so.

Shut down the mass detector and disconnect it from line power before you service it.

High voltages capable of causing personal injury are used in the instrument. Some

maintenance procedures require that the mass detector be shut down and disconnected from

line power before service is performed. Do not operate the mass detector with the top or side

covers off. Do not remove protective covers from PCBs.

Do not interfere with the safety interlock. Interfering with the safety interlock will expose

you to potentially lethal electrical hazards.

Respect heated zones. Treat heated zones with respect. The ion transfer capillary and the

APCI vaporizer might be very hot and might cause severe burns if touched. Allow heated

components to cool before you service them.

Place the mass detector in Standby (or Off) before you open the atmospheric pressure

ionization (API) source. The presence of atmospheric oxygen in the API source when the

mass detector is On could be unsafe. The mass detector automatically goes into Standby when

you open the API source; however, to take this added precaution for safety reasons.

Take care when handling the corona pin. The corona pin is sharp and can cause personal

injury. Take care when removing or installing the corona pin.

Make sure you have sufficient nitrogen for your API source. Before you begin normal

operation each day, make sure that you have sufficient nitrogen for your API source. The

presence of atmospheric oxygen in the API source when the mass detector is on could be

unsafe. The mass detector automatically goes into Standby when you run out of nitrogen;

however, take this added precaution for safety reasons.

IMPORTANT Highlights information necessary to prevent damage to software, loss of

data, or invalid test results; or might contain information that is critical for optimal

performance of the system.

Note Highlights information of general interest.

Tip Highlights helpful information that can make a task easier.

Preface

Contacting Us

Thermo Scientific MSQ Plus Mass Detector Getting Connected Guide xiii

Contain waste streams. Because the API source can accommodate high solvent flow rates,

you must make provisions to collect the waste solvent.

Provide adequate fume exhaust systems for the API source solvent waste container and

the forepump. Your laboratory must be equipped with at least two fume exhaust systems: one

to vent the waste container connected to the exhaust port (API solvent drain) on the back of

the mass detector and the other to vent the forepump exhaust. As described in the MSQ Plus

Mass Detector Getting Connected Guide, route the (blue) forepump exhaust hose to a dedicated

fume exhaust system. Because the exhaust hose acts as a trap for exhaust fumes that would

otherwise recondense in the forepump oil, the hose should travel at floor level for a minimum

of two meters (78.5 in.) before it reaches the external exhaust system. Route tubing from the

waste container connected to the exhaust port on the back of the mass detector to a second

dedicated fume exhaust system. Consult local regulations for the proper method of exhausting

the fumes from your system.

Do not vent the PVC drain tube (or any vent tubing connected to the waste container) to the

same fume exhaust system that is connected to the forepump. The forepump exhaust contains

pump oil, which can seriously contaminate the analyzer optics of the mass spectrometer.

Introduction

This chapter explains how to connect your Thermo Scientific MSQ Plus Mass Detector,

shown in Figure 1, to your nitrogen source, line power, and data system computer. It also

describes how to connect the Edwards forepump to your mass detector and how to connect

the exhaust lines from the mass detector and the forepump to your laboratory venting system.

1 Introduction

Connecting the Forepump

2MSQ Plus Mass Detector Getting Connected Guide Thermo Scientific

Figure 1. MSQ Plus Mass Detector and Accela™ LC

Connecting the Forepump

Your MSQ Plus Mass Detector is shipped with an Edwards forepump. Before connecting the

forepump, ensure that it is filled to the correct level with the factory-supplied oil. For more

detailed information on these procedures, refer to the manual that comes with the Edwards

forepump or to the MSQ Plus Mass Detector Hardware Manual.

YTo connect the Edwards forepump to the mass detector

1. Use a KF25 O-ring (part number 6071201) and a KF25 clamp (part number 6071203)

to connect the T-piece to the inlet port of the Edwards forepump.

2. To connect the vacuum hose that exits the rear of the MSQ Plus Mass Detector through

the source manifold to one side of the T-piece (see connection 1 in Figure 2), do the

following:

a. Fit a hose clamp over the free end of the vacuum hose and insert a KF25 adapter into

the end of the hose. Tighten the clamp to secure the adapter.

Note At the time of installation, a Thermo Fisher Scientific service engineer will connect

the forepump to the MSQ Plus Mass Detector.

b. Use a KF25 O-ring and a KF25 clamp to connect the KF25 adapter on the end of the

vacuum hose one side of the T-piece. Tighten the clamp to secure the connection.

3. To connect the vacuum hose that exits the rear of the MSQ Plus Mass Detector through

the backing manifold to the other side of the T-piece (see connection 2 in Figure 2):

a. Fit a hose clamp over the free end of the vacuum hose and insert a KF25 adapter into

the end of the hose. Tighten the clamp to secure the adapter.

b. Use a KF25 O-ring and a KF25 clamp to connect the KF25 adapter on the end of the

vacuum hose to the other side of the T-piece. Then tighten the clamp to secure the

connection.

4. Connect the power cord of the Edwards forepump to the PUMP OUT receptacle on the

rear panel of the MSQ Plus Mass Detector. See connection 3 in Figure 2.

Note The vacuum hoses are hard-wired into the MSQ Plus Mass Detector. Do not

attempt to remove them.

Using the Oil Mist Filter Kit and the Drain Oil Return Kit

Thermo Scientific MSQ Plus Mass Detector Getting Connected Guide 5

Using the Oil Mist Filter Kit and the Drain Oil Return Kit

The oil mist filter captures oil mist from the exhaust port of the forepump that would

otherwise be ejected into the atmosphere. The oil drain return kit allows you to periodically

return oil trapped in the oil mist filter back to the forepump.

The oil mist filter kit contains both the EMF20 oil mist filter kit and the drain oil return kit.

attached to Pump Out receptacle on the rear panel of the MSQ Plus Mass Detector,

detach it. See Figure 2 on page 4.

2. Use a 1.25 in. wrench to remove the brass pipe fitting (see Figure 2) that extends from the

exhaust port of the Edwards forepump.

3. Clean the area around the exhaust port of the forepump.
