If the plasma flickers or pulsates in your Ametek Measuring Instruments, clean and dry the plasma torch or replace it if there's moisture or deposits in the aerosol tube. If the aerosol pulsates due to deposits in the nebulizer, clean the nebulizer. Replacing the pump tube may also help.
How to fix sparkover at load coil in Ametek SPECTRO ARCOS FHX3X?
To address sparkover at the load coil in your Ametek Measuring Instruments, switch off the generator and dry the load coil with a paper towel if moisture is visible. If there is dirt on the load coil, switch off the generator and clean the load coil.
Why does plasma extinguish when nebulizer gas flow is switched on in Ametek SPECTRO ARCOS FHX3X?
If the plasma extinguishes when you switch on the nebulizer gas flow in your Ametek Measuring Instruments, ensure the sample introduction tube is connected to the nebulizer and properly fitted. Also, flush the system with argon before restarting and check the sample introduction system for any leaks, eliminating them.
