This document is the Site Preparation Guide for Agilent Technologies' 5973N and 5973 inert Mass Selective Detectors. It describes the features and characteristics of the products.
The document serves as a comprehensive site preparation guide for the Agilent 5973 Series Mass Selective Detectors, covering both the 5973N (diffusion pump) and 5973 inert (turbomolecular pump) versions. It outlines critical safety warnings regarding high voltages, hot surfaces, hydrogen gas handling, and chemical exposure before installation begins.
| Pump Type (5973N) | Diffusion pump |
|---|---|
| Pump Type (5973 inert) | Standard or performance turbomolecular pump |
Each instrument is identified by a unique serial number located on a label on the lower left side near the front of the instrument.
Never remove a cover unless the detector, inlet, or oven are turned off to avoid contact with dangerous voltages.
