4. Instrument Shipping Information
Generally, Agilent ICP-OES instruments are sold as ‘Free On Board’
to the shipping point, with the transportation from this point at the
customer’s expense. Due to the size and nature of the spectrometer,
it is advisable that a third party is engaged to assist with
transportation from the point of unloading to the final placement of
the instrument in the laboratory. The Agilent field Sales and Service
Offices will be able to assist in the task of recommending a third
party that specializes in the transportation of precision scientific
instrumentation.
NOTE
The Agilent field service engineer cannot start the installation until the
instrument is situated on the intended work bench.
In-house Transit Routes
In-house transit routes must be carefully considered. Vertical,
horizontal and turning clearances should be calculated from the
shipping crate dimensions of the spectrometer, which is the largest
unit in any system arrangement.
Figure 5 provides an indication of the minimum turning clearance
and minimum door width required for the spectrometer in its
shipping crate.
