2 Turn on the printer.
3 Turn on the monitor.
4 Turn on the data processor system. The window to enter a password is displayed.
Enter the password.
5 Check the water level of the argon gas bubbler.
(See "4.1 Argon gas bubbler".)
6 Adjust the argon gas flow rate during standby to 1L / min and the flow rate during
analysis to 10L / min.
(See "4.2 Checking gas flow rate".)
7 Confirm that the pump leak valve is closed, and then turn on the vacuum pump.
When the vacuum pump is OFF, confirm that the vacuum status
inside the spectrometer is “OK” on Instrument Check screen of the
data processing software at least once a day.
If it is “Air”, turn ON the vacuum pump and wait until the vacuum
status becomes “OK”, and then continue to run the vacuum pump at
least three more hours.
8 Wait for four to five hours until the spectrometer temperature stabilizes.
9 When the inner pressure of the spectrometer becomes OK on Instrument
Check screen on the data processor system, turn on the photo detector.
(See "4.3 Turning ON / OFF photo detector".)
10 Carry out waste discharge.
(See "5.10 Waste discharge".)
11 Carry out recalibration.
(See "4.7 Recalibration".)
