Agilent Microwave Plasma Atomic Emission Spectrometers User’s Guide 19
Environmental conditions
See the Agilent MP-AES Site Preparation Guide for specifications.
Laboratory conditions
The area selected for the operation of an MP-AES instrument:
must be free from drafts, corrosive atmospheres and vibration
should have sample preparation areas and materials storage
facilities located in a separate room
must be a dust-free, low humidity environment
should have air conditioning for control of the environment
Temperature control
Most of the heat generated by the MP-AES instrument into the
laboratory is extracted from the laboratory by the exhaust system.
When the plasma is operating, approximately 200 W of heat from the
MP-AES instrument electronics flows into the laboratory.
Electrical power supplies
All power supplies should be single phase AC, 3 wire system (active,
neutral, ground or two active and ground) and should be terminated
at an appropriate connection receptacle that is within reach of the
system power cable. Use of power boards or extension cables is not
recommended.
Electrical requirements
The installation of electrical power supplies must comply with the
rules and/or regulations imposed by the local authorities responsible
for the use of electrical energy in the workplace.
Avoid using power supplies from a source that may be subject to
electrical interference from other services (such as large electric
motors, elevators, welders and air conditioning units).
