General Information
Introduction
This manual will help you prepare your facility for the arrival of your new
Agilent 7700 Series ICP- MS. The specifications in this manual ensure
consistent, reliable and safe installation of your 7700 ICP- MS system.
Please contact Agilent Technologies to help you coordinate the arrival of your
equipment and the preparation of your facility. Your Agilent Technologies
engineer will install the instrument and familiarize you with it.
Customer’s Site Preparation Responsibilities
The following are NOT included in the Agilent Technologies installation; they
are the customer’s responsibility unless other arrangements are made with
Agilent Technologies.
•Planning, scheduling and preparing all site facilities according to the
specifications in this manual is the customer’s responsibility.
•The customer is responsible for furnishing power receptacles as required.
Site electricians should provide a male plug along with the receptacle if not
able to have the receptacle that specified in this document.
•Your electrician is responsible for verifying that the electrical environment is
safe and adequate for the 7700 ICP- MS system installation and operation.
•The customer is responsible for compliance with all local laws (codes,
ordinances, and regulations) for mechanical, building, and electrical
distribution systems. Compliance must exist prior to installation.
NOTE
Sites failing to meet requirements may delay installation of the instrument or may be subject
to additional charges. Agilent Technologies provides service during warranty, and under
maintenance agreements, only if the specified site requirements are met.

Receiving the System
When your 7700 ICP- MS system is delivered, it is your responsibility to provide
for the removal of the shipping containers from the truck and their storage until
installation. Contact your Agilent Technologies engineer as soon as your
shipment arrives to arrange an installation date.
Unloading
The shipping containers are heavy. They require a loading dock and a fork lift
or similar lifting device.
Storage
It is your responsibility to store the containers until installation. Do not open
any shipping containers until an Agilent Technologies representative is present.
Warranty claims for missing items will not be honored unless an Agilent
Technologies representative is present to verify the contents of each container
as it is unpacked.
The 7700 ICP- MS shipping container has the following dimensions.
The environment in the storage area should be between 5°C and 50°C with 20%
to 80% relative humidity, and a non- condensing and non- corrosive atmosphere.
CAUTION
The shipping containers must be kept upright at all times to prevent damage to the
instrument.

Installation and Verification
Once the installation has begun, it should progress in a timely manner to
completion. Delays due to inadequate site preparation could cause loss of
instrument use during the warranty period. In extreme cases, Agilent
Technologies may ask to be reimbursed for the additional time required to
complete the installation.
The final step in the installation process is system verification. Your Agilent
Technologies engineer tests the system against standards as documented for the
product(s) you have purchased.
NOTE
The Agilent Technologies engineer will not test your system against your standards or
samples. Further, the Agilent Technologies engineer will not set up your laboratory
procedures. Assistance with laboratory procedures can be obtained from your local Agilent
Technologies Applications Engineer on a consulting basis at additional cost.

Site Requirements
Space, Weight and Access Requirements
Your site must have enough space for the 7700 ICP- MS and all of its associated
equipment. The bench in your laboratory must be able to support the weight of
the entire the 7700 ICP- MS system.
In addition, there must be sufficient space around the system for ventilation
(especially for water recirculator) and maintenance access. Table 2 lists
dimension and weight information for the 7700 ICP- MS and related
components. Be sure to allow space for the following:
•7700 ICP- MS
•7700 ICP- MS MassHunter Workstation PC, PC monitor and Printer
•Foreline pump
•Autosampler
•Power line conditioner (only required when site power supply is unstable)
•Tables
•Chairs
•Water recirculator
•Other optional hardware
NOTE
Space around the system for ventiration and maintenance access: At least 60cm (24in) on all
sides of the instrument must be kept clear.
The bench in your laboratory must be able to support the entire 7700 ICP-MS system and
other laboratory equipment.

Argon Gas Requirement
The Argon gas needed for installation will be supplied by the customer.
It is recommended that there be a shutoff valve and a regulator with a pressure
gauge within 5m of the 7700 ICP- MS.
The customer will supply and prepare any gas piping from a remote gas storage
area. This must be at least 1/4 inch in diameter and should be made of stainless
steel.
Gas cylinders or liquid Argon may be used. Typically a cylinder of Argon lasts 8
hours. A 260L tank of liquid Argon lasts for approximately one month of daily
(8 hours) operation.
