How to do an electronic reboot of a Xevo G2 QTof or Xevo G2 Tof - WKB49203

ENVIRONMENT

• Xevo G2 QTof
• Xevo G2 Tof

ANSWER

1. Exit MassLynx and reboot the Windows computer. Log in to Windows after it restarts but do not open any other software.
2. From the back of the Xevo you will see two toggle switches. The top is for the Vacuum and the bottom is for the Electronics. Place the Vacuum switch into the Override position.
3. Set the Electronics toggle switch to OFF. Wait about 30 seconds.
4. Set the Electronics toggle to ON. Wait about 3 seconds.
5. Press and hold the red reset button on the external EPC for one second.
   
6. Wait 5 minutes while the MS initializes. The last thing you will hear are the fluidics valves on the front of the Xevo actuating.
7. After this, open MassLynx and verify that the instrument is connected. If it isn't, first try closing MassLynx, waiting a minute, and starting MassLynx again. Otherwise, repeat the entire procedure.
8. After confirming a connection with MassLynx, and verifying vacuum readbacks, move the Vacuum toggle switch back to Auto position.
