Location
The workbench location should permit service access from all sides.
Position the equipment for easy access to the power switch and for
disconnecting the power cable on the left side of the instrument. A
minimum of 400 mm (16 in) free space at the sides of the
spectrometer and approximately 30 mm (1.2 in) at the rear of the
instrument is required for maintenance and service access. Leave
enough space in front and to the left side of the instrument to
provide easy access to the mains power on/off switch at all times.
The ICP-OES system should not be located close to an access door,
window or any other area where drafts may cause fluctuating
temperature conditions.
The following diagrams show the relative dimensions of the main
instrument including the space needed for service access. These
dimensions should be considered during the preparation for
installation of your spectrometer.
