Carefully consider the location and configuration of incidental equipment by referring to

the following guidelines, before installing a Shimadzu ICPMS-2030 ICP Mass
Spectrometer system.

1 Installation
1.1 Temperature and Humidity of Installation Site
The installation site should be air conditioned and meet the following conditions.
A. Set the room temperature between 18 C and 28 C. Keep room temperature
variations within 2 C an hour.
B. Position instruments where they are not exposed to drafts or air flow from the
air conditioning system.
C. Position instruments where they are not exposed to direct sunlight.
D. Keep humidity between 20 % and 70 % throughout the year.

Note: The ICPMS-2030 generates about 2900 kcal/h of heat when in the 1.2 kW high
frequency output mode.
 Approximately 600 kcal/h from the plasma stand into the exhaust duct
 Approximately 700 kcal/h into the waste tap water
(If an optional cooling water circulator is used instead of tap water, then
approximately 1600 kcal/h of heat is released from the cooling water circulator.)
 Approximately 1000 kcal/h is released from the vacuum pump.
 Approximately 200 kcal/h is released from the back of the instrument.

1.2 Minimum Doorway Clearance for Transporting

Transporting the ICPMS-2030 requires a minimum clearance width of 800 mm.

2
 ZESD-4029A
2 Power Switch
2.1 Main Spectrometer Unit
Provide a 6 kVA single phase 200, 220, 230 or 240 volt supply (50 or 60 Hz) to
near the back panel of the spectrometer.
Maximum allowable voltage fluctuation is 10 %. A 6 kVA capacity voltage
stabilizer with output voltage precision within 5 % is required for power supplies
that vary by more than 10 %. For more details, contact your Shimadzu
representative.

2.2 Data Processing Equipment

The PC used for data processing with the ICPMS-2030 must satisfy the following
specifications.
1) CPU Corei5 – 4570 (3.2GHz) or better
2) RAM 4 Gbytes or more
3) HDD 2 GB free space or better
Sufficient free space is separately required for data storage.
(A single file may take up several hundred MB.)
4) Drive Drive capable of reading CD-ROM
5) Display Resolution of 1,920 x 1,080 pixels or more
6) OS Windows 7 Professional
7) LAN interface 1000 BASE-T / 100 BASE-TX / 10 BASE-T
8) Printer Page printer compatible with Windows 7 Professional

2.3 Cooling Water Circulator

If an optional cooling water circulator is used, then a single-phase 200 to 230 V AC
power supply with minimum 2 kVA capacity is required for the cooling water
circulator.

3 Ground
Provide an independent ground with a resistance of 30 ohms or less, but if
possible, provide an independent ground with a resistance of 10 ohms or less.
Measure the resistance value using a direct-reading ground resistance meter,
Kohlrausch bridge, or other appropriate means.
This spectrometer uses large amounts of power to generate high frequency
waves. Therefore, it requires an independent ground with as little ground
resistance as possible. If the distance from the instrument to ground is too far, it
will increase the chance of generating noise. Therefore, keep the ground wire
length as short as possible.

4 Table
Provide a table that is more than strong enough to support the main ICPMS-2030,
which weighs 140 kg. The exterior dimensions are shown in Figure- 1.

5 Space around the Spectrometer

Space must be provided around the instrument to ensure performance is
maintained and to allow access for servicing.
Provide the space indicated in Figure- 2.

3
 ZESD-4029A
6 Argon Gas and Associated Plumbing
Provide an argon gas supply with a minimum 99.95 % purity.
450 10 kPa of pressure is required at the instrument inlet port.

6.1 Argon Gas Consumption

For a standard configuration, the amount of argon gas consumed for analysis is
0.59 m 3/h.
Note: A gas cylinder with an internal volume of 45 liters and filled to 15 MPa
would provide 6 m 3 of gas, which would allow approximately 10 hours of
operation.

6.2 Precautions for Locating Argon Gas Cylinders Outdoors

Use either copper or stainless steel tubing for plumbing. A plumbing example is
shown in Figure- 4.

6.3 Precautions for Locating Argon Gas Cylinders Indoors

The tubing from the cylinder to the gas inlet port on the instrument is included with
ICPMS-2030. The tubing is 5 meters in length.
A plumbing example is shown in Figure- 5.
Be sure to secure the argon gas cylinder to prevent it from tipping over.

6.4 Precautions for Plumbing the Argon Gas

Use clean copper or stainless steel tubing for plumbing the gas.
Protect tubing from oil or other contaminants.
Thoroughly flush the tubing after preparing the plumbing to remove any debris,
dust or organic substance from inside the tubing.
Then connect the tubing to the instrument.

4
 ZESD-4029A
7 Helium Gas and Associated Plumbing
Provide helium gas with a minimum 99.999 % purity.
150 20 kPa of pressure is required at the instrument inlet port.

7.1 Helium Gas Consumption

Given standard specifications, 0.00036m 3/h of helium gas is used during analysis
and 0.0006/h during purging.
To prevent degradation of gas purity, regular gas cylinder replacement is
recommended.
(Generally about once a year).

7.2 Precautions for Plumbing the Helium Gas

Use the tubing specified by Shimadzu.

5
 ZESD-4029A
8 Oxygen Argon Mix Gas and Associated Plumbing
The oxygen argon mix gas ratio is 70 % argon and 30 % oxygen.
450±10 kPa of pressure is required at the instrument inlet port.

8.1 Oxigen Argon Mix Argon Gas Consumption

For a standard configuration (sample: ethanol), the amount of argon gas
consumed for analysis is 0.009 m 3/h.
Note: A gas cylinder with an internal volume of 45 liters and filled to 15 MPa
would provide 6 m 3 of gas, which would allow approximately 650 hours of
operation.

8.2 Precautions for Plumbing the Oxigen Argon Mix Argon Gas
A plumbing example is shown in Figure- 7.
Be sure to secure the argon gas cylinder to prevent it from tipping over.

 ZESD-4029A
9 Local Ventilation Equipment
Ventilate the exhaust gases from the plasma stand to the outdoors.
Figure- 3 illustrates one example of ducting work.
A. Use oxidation resistant materials for the plasma stand ventilation system
(exhaust ducting, hood, fan, etc.) that are appropriate for acids from samples.
B. An exhaust duct (122 mm I.D.) with an exhaust capacity between 1.4 m 3/min
and 2.0 m 3/min is required for the plasma stand. Include a damper in the
plasma stand exhaust ventilation system.
If the ducting connection kit (P/N: S211-93832-41 duct adapter) recommended
by Shimadzu is used, provide flexible stainless steel ducting.
C. Use the exhaust ventilation made of heat-resistant material if it is directly linked
to the plasma stand exhaust ducting. Depending on measurement conditions,
the internal temperature can exceed 100 C.

10 Cooling Water

11 Dust
The ICPMS-2030 uses high voltages and tiny electrical currents. Therefore, dust
can cause it to malfunction.
Implement dust-prevention measures in the doors and windows of the room where
the system is installed to prevent dust.

12 Vibration
Do not install the system where there is large amounts of vibration.

13 Liquid Waste Tank

Approximately 1 mL/min of sample solution is discharged from the plasma stand
sample injection area when plasma is emitted. Therefore, provide a liquid waste
tank that is resistant to corrosions. Alternatively, use an optional liquid waste tank.

Liquid Waste Tank Square Hand-Held Bottle, 10 L (P/N 210-15534)

Place the liquid waste tank as near the plasma stand as possible.
Tubing (2 m) from the sample injection area to the liquid waste tank is included.
After operating the instrument, close the cap of the liquid waste tank or remove
the waste liquid promptly. If waste liquid is left for long time with the cap open, off-
gassing could cause corrosion in the surrounding areas.
Also provide a liquid waste tank if an optional autosampler is used. Up to
6 mL/min of sample solution is discharged from the autosampler AS-10, in case of
ASX-520/260, 23 mL/min, when it is in operation.

15 Room Lighting and Lighting Fixtures
This system is operated via a (computer) video display terminal (VDT). The same
considerations are required with respect to lighting for the health of analytical
operators as are considered for general office equipment.

(1) Avoid large differences between light and dark areas inside rooms and
prevent glare.
(2) Adjust the vertical illuminance and horizontal illuminance levels on documents
and keyboards to appropriate levels.
Guidelines:
 Vertical illuminance should be 500 lux or less
 Horizontal illuminance should be between 300 and 700 lux
(3) Cover bright windows with blinds, curtains or other coverings, and adjust the
brightness as necessary.
(4) The operator's field of vision should be free from bright light fixtures, windows,
wall surfaces, or flashing lights and such lights should be kept from reflecting
on the display screen.
