Printed Circuit Boards<br />

The <strong>LTQ</strong> <strong>Orbitrap</strong> <strong>XL</strong> is controlled by a PC running the Xcalibur<br />

software suite. The software controls all aspects of the instrument. The<br />

main software elements are the communication with the linear ion trap,<br />

the control of ion detection, and the control of the <strong>Orbitrap</strong> mass<br />

analyzer.<br />

The following pages contain a short overview of the various electronic<br />

boards of the <strong>LTQ</strong> <strong>Orbitrap</strong> <strong>XL</strong>. For each board, its respective location<br />

and function are given. If applicable, the diagnostic LEDs on the board<br />

are described.<br />

The electronics of the <strong>LTQ</strong> <strong>Orbitrap</strong> <strong>XL</strong> contains complicated and<br />

numerous circuits. Therefore, only qualified and skilled electronics<br />

engineers should perform servicing.<br />

A Thermo Fisher Scientific Service Engineer should be called if servicing<br />

is required. It is further recommended to use Thermo Fisher Scientific<br />

spare parts only. When replacing fuses, only use the correct type. Before<br />

calling a Service Engineer, please try to localize the defect via errors<br />

indicated in the software or diagnostics. A precise description of the<br />

defect will ease the repair and reduce the costs.<br />

Warning Parts of the printed circuit boards are at high voltage.<br />

Opening the electronics cabinet is only allowed for maintenance<br />

purposes by qualified personal. ▲<br />

Note Many of the electronic components can be tested by the<br />

<strong>LTQ</strong> <strong>Orbitrap</strong> <strong>XL</strong> diagnostics, which is accessible from the Tune Plus<br />

window. ▲<br />
