Agilent 5100 and 5110 ICP-OES User’s Guide
The mains power switch contains a 20 A circuit breaker, which is
reset when the power switch is cycled.
Other Connections
IEEE 802.3, Ethernet LAN cable
Personal Computer Requirements
The recommended and minimum PC specifications can be found in
the Agilent ICP-OES Site Preparation Guide.
Locate the PC keyboard and mouse for ergonomically correct access.
Gas Supplies
Liquid or gaseous argon and nitrogen may be used with Agilent
ICP-OES spectrometer systems. Agilent recommends the use of liquid
gases, which are purer, more convenient and cheaper per unit
volume.
Table 1.
Gas supply requirements
Component Gas
Plasma, nebulizer, optics interface purge
Argon
Polychromator assembly
Argon or Nitrogen (supplied through
optional nitrogen purge kit)
Gas supply regulator pressure setting may need to be adjusted to
ensure the pressure is in the permissible pressure range when
delivering the gas flow demanded during operation.

Gas requirements
Permissible pressure range*
500-600 kPa (73 to 88 psi) gauge
Recommended pressure*
550 kPa (80 psi) gauge regulated
*when supplying required gas flows
