we have MP 4200 has Error : Magnetron anode current too high during igniting the plasma

Hello,

Please try replacing the torch. If that does not resolve your issue, please contact Agilent customer support to begin the process of opening a repair service order. It is possible that your waveguide has failed. Have a great day 

Dear John,

Thanks a lot for your help and support. Actually we have already replaced the Torch. BUT how can we check the waveguide ?!!

Thanks & Regards 

Only Agilent service professionals should replace a waveguide. This is for safety reasons. Have a nice day 

ok we dint have a problem with that. BUT the service engineer will come on 20. November and the instrument out of service two weeks.

as we are in remote Arae (phosphate Mine) so please could you show me how to check it and test it at least so that we may order it and get it before the service engineer visit.

I'm the Analytical instruments specialist in our department. 

Thanks & Regards

thanks a lot for your support

I have measured the Magnetron filament and found it 2.0 ohm NOT 0.3-0.4 !!! is this indicate that we have a problem with magnetron filament?!!!
