Instrument Status LED Color Coding
The instrument status indicator light on the front top right of the
Agilent ICP-OES displays different colors to represent the status of
the instrument:
A green light indicates the following:
The instrument and software are connected and are ready to
attempt a plasma ignition sequence, or
The instrument and software are connected and the plasma
ignition sequence is underway, or
The instrument and software are connected, the plasma is lit
and running and it is possible to run analysis of samples.
A yellow blinking light indicates the instrument and software are
not connected (instrument is off-line).
A yellow light indicates that the instrument and software are
connected, but the instrument is not ready to begin a plasma
ignition sequence due to a tripped door or torch handle interlock,
low gas pressure, low water flow or low cooling air flow. User
intervention is required to resolve the problem.
An orange pulsing (intensifying/fading) light indicates the
instrument is booting up or performing a firmware update.
A red light indicates an instrument firmware error causing a halt
to analysis or restricting normal instrument operation. User
intervention is required to resolve the problem.
Front Power On/Off Button
The LED in the front on/off button indicates the basic instrument
on/off state.
Off indicates that the instrument is completely unpowered when

instrument is unpowered, with the exception of the front panel
Power on/off button switch sensing circuit inside the mains
power module. Press the front panel Power on/off button at the
front to fully power up the instrument.
