Agilent 5110/5100 ICP-OES Service Manual Agilent Restricted 205
7 Service Diagnostics and Fault Finding
Typical Event logs (Plasma)
In this example a general alarm will be logged for the Poly temp criteria highlighted but note
General Alarm will also need to be ticked under both “Events” and “Event triggers” for the
Alarm to be logged.
5 Disconnect from the instrument (using Connect/Disconnect button on tool bar) and then
reconnect to enable recording of results.
The results for these data logs are stored as CSV files in:
C:\ProgramData\Agilent\ICPExpert\Log\Instrument serial number\Diagnostics\result name
.CSV (file name).
Typical Event logs (Plasma)
Plasma Start up Typical Event log
The following sequence is a typical Event log for Plasma ignition with no fault conditions. When
reviewing error logs for possible fault conditions refer to this list as a reference.
• Sequence entered start-up state, Vps = 50 V, ramping Ips to 2000 mA
• Supply current step detected, 2.0 A
• Sequence entered pre-ignition state
• Oscillator entered ready for ignition state, 300 seconds
• Oscillator entered ignite state, Vps 180 V, ramping Ips to 3700 mA
• Igniter on
• Plasma detected by power supply current step, Ips 12468 mA after 342 mS
• Igniter off
• Oscillator entered ready for go state, Waiting for 2000 ms
• Oscillator entered post-ignition state
• Oscillator entered run state
Plasma Extinguished Typical Event log
The following sequence is a typical Event log if a Plasma extinguishes. These are not
necessarily fault conditions being logged. When reviewing error logs for possible fault
conditions refer to this list as a reference.
• Power supply current (1985 mA) below minimum threshold (3500 mA)
• Oscillator entered ramp-down state
• Oscillator entered off state
• RF PCA failed to sustain plasma, oscillator exited running state
