Page 266: Installation Guide (5110 Icp-Oes) Introduction
Only those parts which are not applicable to the type of system being installed may be omitted. The Agilent 5110 ICP-OES requires a minimum of two hours of purge time before running the analytical test in this section. For best results, the polychromator of the Agilent 5110 ICP-OES spectrometer should be allowed to thermally stabilize at +35°C.
Page 267: Standard Installation Times
All users of these systems must be familiar with correct operating procedures and safety practices as explained in this manual and in the Agilent 5110 ICP-OES Operation manual.
Page 268: Install Icp-Oes System
Installation Guide (5110 ICP-OES) Install ICP-OES System Install ICP-OES System Following is an outline of the order of tasks you should perform during installation. A detailed explanation of procedures follows later in the chapter: 1 Connect power to the instrument and turn on mains switches. The instrument firmware will turn on the polychromator heaters automatically and it may take up to 4 hours to stabilize at +35°C.
Page 269 Installation Guide (5110 ICP-OES) Hardware installation The Agilent 5110 ICP-OES instrument weighs 180Kg crated and 106Kg uncrated and should WARNING not be moved without the correct lifting equipment. Not following correct procedure for lifting heavy equipment could result in injury.
Page 270: Mains Connection
(large electric motors, elevators, welders and air conditioning units etc). The 5110 ICP-OES requires a single phase mains input voltage of 200-240VAC 50-60Hz and draws a maximum of 14.5 amps RMS at 200volts (2.9kVA) with a power factor of approximately 0.99.
Page 271: Water Chiller Connection
Installation Guide (5110 ICP-OES) Water chiller connection If Nitrogen is required for the polychromator purge, you may need to install the optional Nitrogen purge block into the Gas Control panel depending on the model. This allows the flexibility of using nitrogen for the polychromator purge, while keeping argon for the plasma and camera purge.
Page 272: Water Chiller Connection To The Spectrometer
Installation Guide (5110 ICP-OES) Water chiller connection to the spectrometer The 5110 ICP-OES instrument is shipped from the factory with the installation kit that includes components for connecting the spectrometer to the water cooler in kit form. Each kit provides the hardware to connect the cooling hoses to the instrument via 12mm tubing compression fittings and corresponding fittings to connect to the water chillers.
Page 273: Software Installation
Operation of a water cooler without water for an extended period of time may damage the CAUTION pump seals. The 5110 ICP-OES instrument requires the expulsion of all air pockets from the cooling system. NOTE Air pockets in the system may cause intermittent water cooling pressure sensing interlock errors.

Page 300: System Description And Specifications
Water cooling system Water cooling system The Agilent 5110 ICP-OES instruments rely on water circulation to remove heat generated within the spectrometer system. Water is used to cool the camera via one circuit and SSRF, torch coil and cooled cone interface via the other circuit. Both circuits are in parallel and the SSRF circuit is switched on only when there is a plasma present to prevent condensation build up on the coil with no plasma on.
Page 301: Water Cooling System Location
Anti-algae requirements The Agilent 5110 ICP-OES instrument water cooling system consists of copper, brass, PTFE and nylon. To prevent growth of aerobic bacteria in the instrument cooling system, add an algaecide as recommended by the water cooler manufacturer.
Page 302: Installation Hints
4 Using the water cooler operation manual as a reference, complete the assembly of the water cooler. The Agilent 5110 ICP-OES instrument systems have a maximum water cooling inlet pressure of NOTE 440 kPa (58 psi). When using water cooling systems with a Positive Displacement pump, a water pressure regulator should be fitted.
Page 303: Connection To The Spectrometer
Peripherals Connection to the spectrometer Connection to the spectrometer 1 Locate the water cooling plumbing kit supplied with each instrument and remove the appropriate fittings and clamps. 2 Install the 12mm hoses to the instrument by pressing into compression fittings and tightening fitting.

Peripherals Leak testing 3 Turn the water cooler on and set the operating temperature to 20 °C. Leave the water cooler running for 30 minutes. A quick inspection of all the plumbing should be made to check for any water leaks. 4 Turn the water cooler off and remove the return hose from the barb of the water cooler.
Page 305 Peripherals Routine maintenance Preventative Maintenance visit: 1 Disconnect the return hose at the water cooler. 2 Turn the water cooler on; empty the water into a suitable container and dispose of it. 3 Turn the water cooler off and disconnect from mains supply. Locate and remove the strainer. Refer to the water cooler operator instruction booklet for further details on the location of the strainer.
