Install ICP-OES System

Following is an outline of the order of tasks you should perform during installation. A detailed
explanation of procedures follows later in the chapter:
1 Connect power to the instrument and turn on mains switches. The instrument firmware will
turn on the polychromator heaters automatically and it may take up to 4 hours to stabilize at
+35°C.
2 Connect the argon supply to the instrument.
3 Connect the water cooler to the instrument.
4 Check extraction system flow and connect to instrument.
5 Ensure the Argon supply has been running for at least 20 minutes before switching on the
water cooler.
6 Install the sample introduction components.
7 Install the Agilent ICP Expert 7 software.
8 Install the LAN cable between Instrument and PC.
9 Configure the IP Address.
10 Complete the Agilent software registration requirements.
11 Switch on the instrument and check that the instrument initializes correctly.
12 Check the Argon Ratio and adjust if required.
13 Perform a Wavelength Calibration (including a dark current scan).
14 Run the performance tests to check the instrument:
• Resolution
• Signal to Background Ratio (SBR)
• Calibration accuracy
• Precision
15 Re-check the Argon Ratio with the polychromator stabilized at +35°C. Ensure it is the same
as the factory setting and adjust if required.
