Divide the displayed HVPS voltage by 10 and test the pairs of connector
points as shown in Table 11-11.

 Check the overall voltage (should be equal to the HVPS value displayed on

the front panel, for example 700 V) and the voltages between each pair of
pins of the supply (should be 1/10

th

of the overall voltage, in this example

70 V):

 Turn off the instrument power, and reconnect the PMT, then reassemble the

sensor.

If any faults are found in the test, you must obtain a new HVPS as there are no user
serviceable parts inside the supply.

7.5.16. PNEUMATIC SENSOR ASSEMBLY

The pressure/flow sensor circuit board, located behind the sensor assembly, can be
checked with a voltmeter using the following procedure, which assumes that the wiring
is intact and that the motherboard and the power supplies are operating properly.

Measure the voltage across TP1 and TP2, it should be 10.0

 0.25 V. If not, the board is

faulty. Measure the voltage across the leads of capacitor C2. It should be 5.0 ± 0.25 V,
if not, the board may be faulty.

7.5.16.1. Reaction Cell Pressure

Measure the voltage across test points TP1 and TP5. With the sample pump
disconnected or turned off, the voltage should be 4500

 250 mV. With the pump

running, it should be 800-1700 mV depending on the performance of the vacuum pump.
The lower the reaction cell pressure, the lower the resulting voltage is. If this voltage is
significantly different, the pressure transducer S1 or the board may be faulty. If this
voltage is between 2 and 5 V, the pump may not be performing well, check that the
reaction cell pressure is less than 10 in-Hg-A (at sea level). Ensure that the tubing is
connected to the upper port, which is closer to the sensor’s contacts; the lower port does
not measure pressure.
