shut down. The instrument has three states of operation that are displayed in the

• Standby
At the end of the working day, place the Agilent 7500 in Standby mode.
In this mode both the turbo pumps and the backing rotary pumps remain on, but
the quadrupole, detector, and RF (plasma) are switched off.

gency, you can flip the main power switch to stop the instrument.
