Agilent 5110/5100 ICP-OES Service Manual Agilent Restricted 13
1 Safety Information
General
General
Warning – High Voltage. To prevent Electric Shock always turn the power off at the main
switch before accessing the interior of the instrument. This is for your own safety as well as
to avoid damage to the electronics.
When disassembling and reassembling the instrument and parts, be sure to reinstall all screws.
The screws serve the additional purpose of holding the many RF shielding panels and parts
firmly in place. Failure to install and tighten all screws can allow RF interference leading to
degradation in performance.
The following precautions should always be taken during operation or maintenance of the
Agilent 5110:
• Check acid concentration. Continuous aspiration of a highly concentrated acid might
attack the inside of the instrument.
• Close the instrument door and panels before operation.
• Check the exhaust system for a positive extraction at the exhaust duct.
• Handle solvents correctly.
•Check the drain vessel frequently.
•Store argon safely.
• Wait for the instrument to cool before performing any maintenance operations.
• Check the condition of the pipes, replace as needed.
• Pay close attention to the cautions and warnings within this manual and the Agilent 5110
ICP-OES Users Manuals.
• Always turn OFF the main power switch and disconnect the power cable to avoid any
electric shock when accessing the electronics components in the instrument.
• When storing or handling PCAs (Printed Circuit Assemblies), always place them in static
control envelopes or enclosures.
• Always make sure you are properly grounded (e.g., wearing an ESD strap) before handling
electro-static sensitive components such as Printed Circuit Assemblies.
• When disconnecting plugs, pull on the plug, not the wires.
Warning – UV Radiation. The plasma emits UV radiation. This is harmful to the eye if one
views the plasma directly. To prevent such an occurrence, the instrument interlocks must not
be disabled. If it is necessary to observe the plasma visually, this must be done with approved
safety spectacles or through an inspection glass. Care and attention must also be exercised
with regard to exposure of the face or hands to UV radiation.
