Turning Off the Instrument

There are three standby and shutdown modes:




Instrument Standby Mode with argon on

This Standby Mode option leaves the 5800/5900 ICP-OES in a state of readiness
while only consuming low amount of utilities (argon gas and electricity). The
benefit of being in Standby Mode is the 5800/5900 can be operational again in <20
minutes from plasma ignition. Standby Mode is automatically enabled once the
previous analysis is finished and the plasma is shut down. Follow 'Setting the
instrument to Standby Mode with argon on or off' on Page 47 to ensure the
instrument is fully prepared for Standby Mode.
Typical recommendation for Standby Mode is to leave the ICP-OES power on and
the argon gas supply pressured up, allowing a trickle purge of argon through the
polychromator, while not collecting analytical data.
To get back to operational status from this mode, turn on the plasma and stabilize
for 20 minutes.

Instrument Standby Mode with argon off

For overnight, weekend, and long-term shutdown is recommended the instrument
is fully powered but the plasma off. In this mode the purge systems are also
turned off. The internal air cooling system runs at reduced capacity.
