Safety Practices and Hazards
Agilent 5100 and 5110 ICP-OES Site Preparation Guide 7
1. Safety Practices and Hazards
Heat, Vapors and Fumes
Heat, ozone, vapors and fumes generated by the plasma can be
hazardous, and must be extracted from the instrument by means of
an exhaust system. Ensure that an exhaust system of the appropriate
type is fitted (see Page 23). The system must be vented to the outside
air in accordance with local regulations and never within the
building. Regularly check the exhaust system by smoke test to ensure
that the exhaust system is functioning correctly. The exhaust fan
must always be switched on before igniting the plasma.
Compressed Gas Hazards
All compressed gases (other than air) can create a hazard if they leak
into the atmosphere. Even small leaks in gas supply systems can be
dangerous. Any leak (except that of air or oxygen) can result in an
oxygen-deficient atmosphere, which can cause asphyxiation. The
area in which cylinders are stored and the area surrounding the
instrument must be adequately ventilated to prevent such gas
accumulations.
Gas cylinders must be installed, stored and handled strictly in
accordance with local safety codes and regulations. Cylinders must
be used and stored only in a vertical position and secured to an
immovable structure or a properly constructed cylinder stand. Move
cylinders only by securing them to a properly constructed trolley.
Use only approved regulator and hose connectors (refer to the gas
supplier’s instructions).

Safety Practices and Hazards
8 Agilent 5100 and 5110 ICP-OES Site Preparation Guide
Use only ‘instrument grade’ gases with your spectrometer.
If using cryogenic gases (for example, liquid argon), prevent severe
burns by wearing suitable protective clothing and gloves.
Electrical Hazards
Connecting the Agilent ICP-OES to a power source that is not
equipped with a protective earth contact creates a shock hazard for
the operator and can damage the instrument. Likewise, interrupting
the protective conductor inside or outside the Agilent ICP-OES or
defeating the power cord ground creates a shock hazard for the
operator and can damage the instrument.
Other Precautions
Air flow to the cooling fans of the spectrometer and accessories must
be unobstructed. Do not block the ventilation grills on the
spectrometer and accessories. Consult the manuals supplied with
your PC, monitor, printer and water-cooling system for their specific
ventilation requirements.
The spectrometer weighs approximately 106 kg (234 lb). To avoid
injury to personnel or damage to the instrument or property, always
use a forklift or other suitable mechanical lifting device to move the
instrument.

After all safety regulations have been met, check the checklist box: Principal installation
area is in compliance with all relevant safety regulations.

2. Introduction
This publication contains the information required to successfully
prepare a site for an Agilent ICP-OES system installation.
On completion of the site preparation, fill in the checklist on Page 4,
(striking out those entries not applicable), and send this checklist to
your local Agilent agent or Agilent sales and service office. As soon
as it is received, Agilent or its agent will contact you to arrange a
convenient time for installation.
If you have difficulty in preparing for the installation, and for details
of operator training courses, please contact your Agilent sales or
field service representative.
