3 Startup, Shutdown and Status
Starting the Instrument
There are three states from which the Agilent 7500 can be started:
• Unplugged
• Shutdown mode
• Standby mode
This section explains how to start the instrument from all three states.
Starting the Instrument from Cold
Use the following procedure to startup the instrument after it has been
unplugged for a move, maintenance, or a long- term shutdown.
1 Ensure that the instrument is plugged in.
Plug the instrument into a NEMA L15- 30R power receptacle.
2 Ensure that the hoses and power cables of the rotary pumps, the Ar gas
hose, the Ethernet or GPIB cable to the Agilent 7500, and the water
hoses are all properly connected.
The hoses and the cables are connected on the rear side of the instrument.
For more information, refer to the Figure 2 (Chapter 1).
3 Turn on the rotary pump power switches.
A manual power switch located on each of the rotary pumps must first be
switched ON before attempting to turn on the pumps. Always check this
switch before starting the instrument’s vacuum. When the switches are in
the on position, the pumps can then be turned on from MassHunter
Workstation (or ChemStation). The pumps will remain off until the vacuum
is turned on by the MassHunter Workstation (or ChemStation) software.
4 Turn on the main power breaker and the pump switch(es) on the Agilent
7500.
These three switches are located on the rear of the instrument. (Figure 14)
