General

Unless otherwise specified, statements in this manual apply to the

Agilent 4100, 4200, and 4210 MP-AES instruments.

Operation of an Agilent Microwave Plasma Atomic Emission

Spectrometer (MP-AES) involves the use of compressed gases, high

microwave energy and hazardous materials including corrosive fluids

and flammable liquids. Careless, improper or unskilled use of this

instrument can cause death or serious injury to personnel, and/or

severe damage to equipment and property. Only trained personnel

should use this equipment.

Safety Practices and Hazards

8 Agilent Microwave Plasma Atomic Emission Spectrometers User’s Guide

The MP-AES instrument incorporates interlocks and covers that are

designed to prevent inadvertent contact with any potential hazards.

If the MP-AES instrument is used in any manner not specified by

Agilent, this protection may be impaired. It is good practice to

develop safe working habits that do not depend upon the correct

operation of the interlocks for safe operation. It is essential that no

interlock or cover is bypassed, damaged or removed.

The safety practices described below are provided to help the user

operate the MP-AES instrument safely. Read each safety topic

thoroughly before attempting to operate the MP-AES instrument and

always operate the MP-AES instrument in accordance with these

safety practices.

If you are unsure of the effects of any liquid, gas or chemical on the

MP-AES instrument, consult your Agilent field service engineer or

approved representative before use.

If the MP-AES instrument is to be used in conjunction with other

non-Agilent equipment, the safety requirements of any system

incorporating the MP-AES instrument is the responsibility of the

assembler of the system.

Verifying Safe State

The following general safety precautions must be observed during all

phases of operation, maintenance and service of this instrument.

To ensure continued safety of the instrument after maintenance or

service procedures verify the instrument is returned to a safe state

before use. This includes running performance checks to verify the

instruments safety systems are functioning correctly. Check the

general condition of the instrument during operation for wear or

signs of corrosion that are likely to inhibit function or safety.

Failure to comply with these precautions or with specific warnings

elsewhere in this manual violates safety standards of design,

manufacture, and intended use of the instrument. Agilent

Technologies assumes no liability for the customer’s failure to

comply with these requirements.

Safety Practices and Hazards

Agilent Microwave Plasma Atomic Emission Spectrometers User’s Guide 9

Plasma

The plasma is extremely hot (about 6,000 °C, 11,000 °F) and operates

using high levels of microwave energy. The plasma emits high

intensity light. Always wear appropriate eye protection if viewing the

plasma. Close contact with the operating plasma can result in severe

heat burns to the skin, and exposure to microwave radiation can

cause sub-surface skin burns.

Do not operate the plasma if:

the microwave excitation assembly appears to be damaged

foreign material is present in the viewing port (left end of the

microwave excitation assembly) or the torch aperture (vertical

space for the torch)

the space above the chimney is not clear of objects

the MP-AES instrument exhaust system is not connected or

turned on

The microwave excitation assembly is designed to reduce microwave

radiation to safe levels while still permitting easy installation of the

torch and viewing of the plasma. The MP-AES instrument has an

interlock system that is designed to extinguish the plasma if either

the pre-optics window holder is opened or the torch is unloaded

before the plasma has been extinguished. Do not attempt to bypass

the interlock system.

Before opening the pre-optics window holder or unloading the torch,

extinguish the plasma by:

pressing SHIFT and F5 on the keyboard

selecting the ‘Plasma off’ option from the ‘Plasma’ drop-down

arrow on the MP Expert software toolbar

pressing the Plasma Enable switch on the front of the MP-AES

instrument

The torch remains hot for up to five minutes after the plasma is

extinguished. Touching the torch before it has cooled sufficiently may

result in burns. Allow the torch to cool before removing it from the

loader.

Safety Practices and Hazards

10 Agilent Microwave Plasma Atomic Emission Spectrometers User’s Guide

The plasma system has been carefully designed to operate safely and

effectively when using torches and related components that conform

to Agilent’s design criteria. Use of non-approved components in the

MP-AES instrument may render the system inoperative and/or

hazardous. It may also invalidate the warranty on the MP-AES

instrument. Use only torches and related components supplied or

authorized by Agilent.

Heat, Vapors and Fumes

Heat, ozone, vapors and fumes generated by the plasma can be

hazardous, and must be extracted from the MP-AES instrument by

means of an exhaust system. Ensure that an exhaust system of the

appropriate type is fitted (as specified in the site preparation guide).

The system must be vented to the outside 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) can result in an oxygen-

deficient atmosphere which can cause asphyxiation. The storage area

must be adequately ventilated and must comply with the rules and

regulations imposed by the local authorities responsible for such use

in the workplace.

Gas cylinders must be 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.

If gases are to be plumbed from a remote storage area to the

instrument site, ensure that the local outlets are fitted with stop

valves, pressure gauges and suitable regulators that are easily

accessible to the instrument operator. The gas outlets must be

provided within 1.5 meters (5 feet) of the MP-AES instrument.
