This manual describes the operation of the Agilent 5500 Series FTIR Spectrometer.
The Agilent 5500 Series includes two main platforms: the 5500t FTIR designed for onsite oil analysis using a TumblIR accessory, and the 5500a FTIR designed for multi-user environments analyzing liquids, powders, gases, pastes, and gels. Both systems utilize Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy with a rugged Michelson interferometer to identify molecular structures and quantify compounds.
The instrument measures 20.3 x 20.3 x 11.4 centimeters (8.0 x 8.0 x 4.5 in) high.
The instrument weighs 3.6 kg (8 Ib).
The instrument must be controlled by a computer running Microsoft Windows XP.
