Agilent 7500 ICP-MS ChemStation Operator’s Manual
Startup, Shutdown and Status
Starting the Instrument
There are three states from which the Agilent 7500 can be started:
• Unplugged
• Shutdown mode
• Standby mode
This section explains how to start the instrument from all three states.
Starting the Instrument from Cold
Use the following procedure to start up the instrument after it has been unplugged
for a move, maintenance, or a long-term shutdown.
1 Ensure that the instrument is plugged in.
Plug the instrument into a NEMA L15-30R power receptacle.
2 Ensure that the hoses and power cables of the rotary pumps, the Ar gas hose, the
computer GPIB cable to the Agilent 7500, and the water hoses are all properly
connected.
The hoses and the cables are connected on the rear side of the instrument. For more
information, refer to the Hardware Manual.
3 Turn on the rotary pump power switches.
A manual power switch located on each of the rotary pumps must first be switched
on before attempting to turn on the pumps. Always check this switch before starting
the vacuum of the instrument. When the switches are in the on position the pumps
can then be turned on from the ChemStation. The pumps will remain off until the
vacuum is turned on by the ChemStation software.
4 Turn on the main power breaker and the pump switch(es) on the Agilent 7500.
These three switches are located on the rear side.
