Switching on the instrument

Information
To operate the instrument in compliance with the specification, it should be
stabilized for at least 2 hours after it has been switched on.
This may take longer because this procedure is dependent on the temperature
during instrument transport and/or storage.
Before all other activities, ensure that the operating temperature of the UV optics
and air optics (33 °C; 91.5 °F) has been reached (see chapter 9.2).
To switch on the instrument, proceed as follows:
1. Connect the instrument to the power supply.
2. In order to switch on the plasma generator, press the following buttons:
3. Switch on the computer.
The operating system is booted.

4. After booting the operating system, start the "Spark Analyzer Pro MAXx"
spectrometer software.
The instrument is switched on.

Argon saving module

The argon flow is deactivated by switching off the Plasma generator. This
minimizes the overall argon consumption.
For restoring the readiness for measurements, flushing with the analytic flow is
carried out.
When the argon flow is automatically activated again is determined in the "Argon
saving module" screen dialog. Immediately thereafter, the instrument is ready for
operation.
For a detailed description, refer to the online help of the instrument.
