Introduction
Agilent 5500 Series FTIR Operation Manual 5
1. Introduction
The Agilent 5500 Series FTIR instruments are small sized, mid-
infrared region spectrometer platforms specifically designed to
provide the capabilities of much larger, traditional FTIR
spectrometers, but without the complexity, maintenance
requirements or cost. The instrument dimensions are only 20.3 x 20.3
x 11.4 centimeters (8.0 x 8.0 x 4.5 in) high and it is very lightweight
(3.6 kg; 8 lb). Although the hardware platforms are in many ways the
same, the Agilent 5500t FTIR system is designed specifically for
onsite oil analysis, and the Agilent 5500a FTIR system is designed for
sample analysis in challenging, multi-user environments. Both
platforms provide versatility for use in a traditional analytical
chemistry laboratory, a temporary field laboratory or even in the
field. However, it is primarily intended for indoor use and is not
designed for water-resistance or other extreme outdoor conditions.
WARNING Fire Hazard
5500 Series FTIR systems are NOT intrinsically safe. Use the system only in
atmospheres that have been tested for flammable materials. If the equipment
is used in a manner not specified in this manual, the protection provided by
the equipment may be impaired.
