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.

Introduction

6 Agilent 5500 Series FTIR Operation Manual

The 5500 Series FTIR systems use technology known as Fourier

transform infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy, which is the current state-

of-the-art technique for molecular compound identification and

quantification. FTIR uses an infrared (IR) light source to pass

through the sample and onto a detector, which precisely measures

the amount of light absorbed by the sample. This absorbance creates

a unique spectral fingerprint that is used to identify the molecular

structure of the sample and determine the exact quantity of a

particular compound in a mixture.

The heart of the Agilent FTIR spectrometer system is a patented,

rugged Michelson interferometer, field-proven for onsite and mobile

use. This proprietary design is the key to successfully making FTIR

technology compact, lightweight, rugged and field-portable.

The 5500 Series FTIR instruments are controlled using an external

computer running a Microsoft® Windows® XP (32- or 64-bit) or

Windows 7 (32- or 64-bit) operating system. The computer must have

at least a Pentium® IV 3 GHz processor with 1 GB of memory and at

least 40 GB hard disk capacity. The laptop computer is offered as an

option, which provides the flexibility of supplying it yourself or

purchasing from Agilent.

The 5500 FTIR system is available in a number of different sampling

configurations to accommodate the analysis of a range of liquids,

powders, pastes and gels. The optimal use of the various

configurations of the 5500 FTIR system are:

Agilent 5500t FTIR TumblIR System: For the rapid chemical

analysis of liquids under ambient conditions.

Agilent 5500a FTIR ATR System: For the chemical analysis of

liquids, powders, pastes and gels. The attenuated total

reflectance (ATR) system is available in single reflection (most

common), three reflection and nine reflection versions. The nine

reflection version has an optional flowcell configuration.

The Agilent 5500 DialPath FTIR is for the rapid chemical analysis of

liquids under ambient conditions that require multiple pathlengths.

Introduction

Agilent 5500 Series FTIR Operation Manual 7

The 5500t FTIR system is a TumblIR liquid cell accessory-based

instrument specifically designed for onsite oil analysis. This system is

an ideal tool for oil analysis of diesel generators, wind farms, off-

shore applications or marine applications.

Both systems are equipped with a software user interface that is

intuitive, simple to use and requires no specialized technical training.

With the touch of a button, the system provides valuable information

about the identity and amount of chemical substances present in a

material.

Unpacking

To unpack your spectrometer system:

1After receiving the Agilent 5500 Series FTIR delivery, do not

immediately open the shipping container. Instead, place the

shipment in a room-temperature environment and allow several

hours for the contents of the container to reach the room

ambient temperature. This is to avoid unnecessary condensation

on the components prior to the initial setup and installation

process.

2The shipping enclosure should contain the items listed below.

Inspect the enclosure closely to make sure all items have been

removed from the shipment packaging. Also ensure that all the

items in the packing list below have arrived undamaged and are

in good working condition. Contact Agilent immediately if any

items are found to be missing in shipment or damaged.

NOTE Keep all original packing material for storing, shipping and transporting the

system in the future.

3Remove the 5500 Series FTIR system from its shipping case and

place it on a flat, stable surface. The instrument must be kept

away from hot surfaces and any sources of electromagnetic

interference.
