6 Close the worksheet by clicking ‘Close’ from the ‘File’ menu but
leave the ICP Expert software running. You may switch off the
printer, monitor and any accessories if desired.
Ensure that the Powersave option on your PC is disabled (this will
prevent the shutdown of your hard disk). If this option is not
disabled, you could lose data during an unexpected shutdown.
WARNING
Noxious Fumes
Inhalation danger. The exhaust system MUST remain on if the gas supplies
are on.
Turning off the instrument for long term shutdown
To shut down your instrument completely:
CAUTION
The ICP-OES gas control unit supplies uninterrupted gas purge to the
polychromator assembly during the run and idle states only to minimize the
ingress of moisture. It is recommended that both the instrument and gas
supplies be left on at all times except during long periods of non-use.
1 Follow Steps 1-6 of the idle state procedure.
2 Switch off any accessories (where applicable), and then shut
down the argon gas supply at the cylinder.
3 Switch off the Power at the front lower left of the instrument.
4 Wait for the front power on/off switch green LED to stop blinking
and then switch off the mains power switch on the left side of the
instrument. This will turn off the complete instrument as well as
the polychromator thermostating system.
5 Turn off the laboratory exhaust system.
6 Exit the ICP Expert software, if it is no longer required, by
choosing Exit from the File menu. Switch off the printer and
monitor.
