removed, make sure to first turn off all power to the instrument.

Electron Gun / Ion pump Baking

The electron gun and ion pump are heated to about 250°C in order to keep the electron gun in a high vacuum. Touching these sections would result in burns.

Anyone working on the electrical part of the system should follow the correct lock-out tag-out procedures for that location.

The user should prepare a mains switch box on which the lock-out and the tag-out procedures are provided.

Electrical hazards can occur if lock-out tag-out procedures are not followed.

The ion-pump produces magnetic fields. There are fringing magnetic fields of about 100 Gauss from the ion-pump and 10 Gauss at the outside of the ion-pump cover.

Any person who has a pacemaker embedded is not allowed to approach the ion-pump.

Do not bring near to the ion-pump wristwatches and magnetic cards that are susceptible to magnetic fields.
