Page 5: Description Of Instrument
FHX22 Type: 76004561 Function The SPECTRO ARCOS FHX22 is an automatic optical emission spectrometer providing simultaneous measurements. It uses inductively-coupled plasma excitation and a semiconductor-based detector system for quantitative and semi- quantitative analysis of liquids. The liquid sample is nebulized and fed into the plasma as an aerosol. The high temperature of the plasma (6000–8000 K) evaporates the sample. -

Do you have a question about the SPECTRO ARCOS FHX22 and is the answer not in the manual?
Questions and answers
Does the Spectro Arcos need calibration daily?
No, the Ametek Spectro Arcos FHX22 does not require daily calibration. Wavelength calibration is required in specific situations: after a software message (wavelength drift), after switching on and temperature stabilization, before setting up a new method, and before high-precision measurements.
