Gas Purity Problem

Atmospheric Oxygen, moisture and volatile organics entering the cell gas lines will result in poor/unpredictable ORS interference removal, and severe signal drift or changes in sensitivity due to contamination of the octopole (which will then have to be replaced).

The common causes are:

Use of existing He and H

2

lab supplies, instead of using dedicated cylinders for the 7700 ICP- MS

Dirty, or previously used piping to connect the cylinder to the 7700 ICP- MS

(or use of Cu instead of stainless steel)

Use of gas cylinder regulators with plastic diaphragms (use only stainless steel diaphragm regulators designed for use with high purity gas supplies)

Use of a Hydrogen generator (we don't recommend the use of these as the moisture content of the H

2

is too high)

Use of cell gas of less than 99.999% quality

Sharing of cell gas lines with other instrumentation

G3280-90010 (Rev.B) Agilent 7700 Series ICP-MS Site Preparation Guide

The fitting of a gas purifier offers further protection for the ORS - for example if a cylinder of contaminated gas is connected, the gas purifier assures peak performance (spectral interference removal) of the ORS cell.

Follow the instructions below to ensure your system is operating at peak performance.

Essential Requirements for Cell Gas Supply Installation

The cell gas pathway from the source to the mass spectrometer must be as short and as clean as possible to ensure correct operation of the ORS. Only dedicated cylinders of 99.999% pure gas are to be used. House gas supplies are not allowed, and sharing of gas supplies with other instruments (except another

Agilent ORS ICP- MS) is not allowed. The Agilent Gas Purification Kit (Part#:

G3269A) detailed in

Table 6

should be used to ensure the highest quality supply of He and H

2

cell gas. Only the Agilent stainless steel tubing

(Part# G3270- 65035) should be used to connect the He and H

2

cell gas cylinders to the 7700 ICP- MS, and the length of the tubing must be less than 3m. No other valves, fittings or connections are to be inserted along the length of the cell gas supply lines. The 2 position gas purifier (one position for He, one for H

2

) must be fitted with the triple filters specified.

Power Requirements

You are responsible for providing appropriate electrical power and power outlets for all of the components in your 7700 ICP- MS system. Power considerations include voltage ranges of major components, power configurations, power plugs and cords, water circulator requirements, and general power requirements.

Voltage Ranges of Major Components

The 7700 ICP- MS mainframe requires a single- phase 30A circuit. Table 8

lists the voltage ranges and power requirements for the 7700 ICP- MS and related equipment. Extra power capacity for future additions is strongly recommended.

Each product listed requires a dedicated circuit. The 7700 ICP-MS and data system should each have a separate circuit breaker.

C A U T I O N

The 7700 ICP- MS system includes a wide- range power supply that can operate without reconfiguration, however the foreline pump must be configured for either of two voltage ranges of single- phase alternating current (ac):

200- 219Vac, 50/60Hz (typical for the U.S. and Japan)

220- 240Vac, 50/60Hz (typical for Europe)

The foreline pump will be configured according to the standard voltage in the country where the instrument is ordered.

If an instrument is being ordered from one location, but is to be installed in another location with different electrical power characteristics, a special note must be made on the order that the electrical power at the site is different from the standard electrical power in that country.

G3280-90010 (Rev.B) Agilent 7700 Series ICP-MS Site Preparation Guide 15

General Power Configuration

Power for the 7700 ICP- MS is supplied in single- phase, Split phase, 3 phase star

4 wired, High- leg delta or 208 Wye configuration (see Table 7 ).

Correct grounding for the 208 Wye configuration must be verified by an electrician. The neutral wire cannot be used for safety grounding. The ground wire (green or green/yellow) should carry zero current except for ground- fault current or static electric discharge. The entire system should share an isolated, noise- free electrical ground.

Agilent Chiller (G3292A) Power receptacle requirements

The chiller requires a 12.2A single- phase electrical outlet. The power cable of the chiller will ship with the power receptacle for the country of installation.

Agilent Chiller for Japan (G3159A) Power receptacle requirements

The chiller requires a 20A single- phase electrical outlet. The power cable of the chiller will ship with the power receptacle for Japan.

Agilent Heat Exchanger (G1879B) Power receptacle requirements

The heat exchanger requires a 5.5A (400VA) single- phase power receptacle.

The power cable of the heat exchanger will ship with the power receptacle for the country of installation.

Power Conditioner/Uninterruptible Power Supply (UPS)

If the power supplied is outside the limits specified, a power conditioner may be required. Power conditioners aid in filtering impulses caused by lightning strikes, line spikes, oscillatory transients and electrical noise impulses.

It is the customer’s responsibility to install the power conditioner and supply any additional equipment, circuit breakers, switches, etc., before the Agilent

Technologies engineer arrives on site.

It is your responsibility to comply with all local and national electrical and safety codes.

Check with your electrical department!

Data system components and accessories have power cords with plugs depending on the voltage and power cord option ordered. Power cord lengths for the data system components and accessories are 2.5m.

WA R N I N G

Do not use extension cords with Agilent Technologies equipment. They cannot provide enough power to the system and can be a safety hazard. If the desired location of equipment does not permit its standard power cord to reach an power receptacle, your electrician should install additional outlets. Otherwise, you should relocate the equipment closer to existing power receptacles.

N O T E

The 7700 ICP-MS has a start up rush current of 150A for 15 milliseconds.

General Power Requirements

Table 8 lists the power requirements for the 7700 ICP- MS and associated

equipment. Extra power capacity for the future growth of your laboratory should be considered now. Power requirements and considerations include the following.

Each product listed in Table 8 requires a dedicated circuit. The 7700 ICP- MS

mainframe, PC/PC monitor, water recirculator, etc. should each have a separate circuit breaker.

The entire 7700 ICP- MS system should share an isolated, noise- free electrical ground. This system ground should be electrically separate from the ground for the rest of the building, i.e. back to the main ground of the facility. (See

Figure 12

Power must meet the stability and transient specifications listed in

Table 8 . We

recommend your site power specialist use a line monitor to check power stability. If your line power is unstable, you may need to install a line conditioner.

Separate convenience outlets should be provided for building maintenance and other appliances. Convenience outlets must be on circuits separate from the

7700 ICP- MS system and must share the normal building distribution ground, not the 7700 ICP- MS system ground.

N O T E

In some geographical areas it may be advisable to install lightning protection for personnel and equipment.

Electromagnetic interference (EMI) generated by NMRs, radio transmitters, and microwave links, may interfere with system performance. Protect the system from static electricity by observing humidity and temperature requirements.

Minimize the presence of non- conductive products such as carpets and vinyl floor tiles.

Emergency- off push buttons that will disconnect power to the ventilation system and all electric equipment in the room except overhead lighting are recommended.

A minimum of 4 power receptacles are required for data system installation; 6 power receptacles are recommended. Surge protection on the data system circuit is also recommended.

There is a power receptacle on the rear of the 7700 ICP-MS, it is dedicated for the Foreline

Pump. DO NOT USE FOR ANY OTHER AUXILIARY EQUIPMENT.

Be sure to add the additional heat output of other optional equipment and system peripherals installed in the lab.

Agilent Technologies recommends you set up the water recirculator outside the laboratory; if possible in a well ventilated room. Additional allowances should be made for other heat sources, such as heat from adjacent rooms.

Exhaust Venting

The 7700 ICP- MS can produce ozone and high temperatures, therefore a ventilation duct must be connected to the exhaust port of the instrument during operation for removal of these waste products.

WA R N I N G

User safety requires that the exhaust gases from the plasma and vacuum systems be vented externally to the building and not recirculated by the environmental control system. Health hazards include chemical toxicity of solvents, samples, and foreline pump fluid vapor.

N O T E

Exhaust gas venting must comply with all local environmental codes.

N O T E

Agilent Technologies engineer will not install your 7700 ICP-MS system until an adequate exhaust system is present and functioning.

Your exhaust system must have the capacity to maintain negative pressure with

6m

Cooling Water Requirements

The 7700 ICP- MS requires a controlled supply of cooling water for the RF generator, turbo molecular pump, load coil, spray chamber and interface. The water supply is specified by its cooling capacity and its cleanliness.

Table 12

lists Cooling Water Requirements for the 7700 ICP- MS.

The preferred cooling system is the Agilent Chiller (G3292A) or heat exchanger

(G1879B) filled with Poly- Clear Fluid (G3292- 80010).

* When not using the Chiller or Heat Exchanger in conjunction with Poly-Clear Fluid.

Continued operation with inadequate cooling can cause automatic shutdown of the

7700 ICP-MS and risk potential degradation in the performance of your instrument.

Using tap water can cause contamination to the drinking water line from ICP-MS.

The temperature of water exiting the system should be maintained at less than 40°C.

Water Quality

In the event that the chiller or heat exchanger with Poly- Clear Fluid is not used, and another type of water re- circulator is used, the reservoir should be filled with distilled water having a conductance in the range of 50- 150 µs. Distilled water will keep the system clean. When the Chiller or heat exchanger in combination with Poly- Clear Fluid is not being used, refer to

Table 13 for the

water quality standards and recommendations.

Unfavorably high total ionized solids (TIS) can accelerate the rate of galvanic corrosion. These contaminants can function as electrolytes which increase the potential for galvanic cell corrosion and lead to localized corrosion such as pitting which can be observed at the studs and on the outside surface of cooling coils of the chiller. Eventually, the pitting will become so extensive that the coil will leak refrigerant into the water reservoir.

As an example, raw water in the United States averages 171ppm (of NaCl). The recommended level for use in a water system is between 0.5 to 5.0ppm (of NaCl).

Initially fill the tank with distilled water. Do not use tap water as the total ionized solids level may be too high.

Do not use deionized water as it will corrode the system.

Communications

Network Connection to Company LAN (not needed for instrument operation)

If you need to connect the 7700 ICP- MS computer to your company LAN, we only recommend connection via a switching HUB. A small 10/100 6 port switch can be obtained from many sources at a low cost.

When connecting via a switching hub your IT department must reserve two fixed (static) IP addresses that share the same subnet mask and are dedicated to the 7700 ICP-MS.

C A U T I O N

How a Switching Hub Works

Suppose you want to send a packet of data from the PC to the 7700 ICP- MS.

The first time the packet is sent, it will go to the Server and the Server determines where the 7700 ICP- MS is located. The packet is sent to the Switch and the Switch sends it on to the 7700 ICP- MS. But the Switch memorizes the location of the original message. Since the location of the original sender is on the same Switch, the Switch builds a memory table within the Switch’s internal memory. Now the Switch can respond directly to the PC.

Once the 7700 ICP- MS sends a packet to the PC, it will have its location memorized and again any traffic between the PC and the 7700 ICP- MS will not have to go through the Server. Traffic is reduced on the LAN. The only time that the corporate LAN is affected is on the initial packet.

The 7700 ICP-MS system does not support the use of a computer with two network interface cards. It has been observed that the use of two network cards frequently results in crosstalk between the cards. This crosstalk can cause communication failures.
