    And all configurations of the Raman Rxn2 analyzer are designed for use with the Endress+Hauser line of Raman fiber-optic probes and optics. An ergonomic mobile cart, including built-in probe and optic storage, is available as an option for all Raman Rxn2 configurations.
  • Page 10: Raman Runtime Software Overview

    The Raman Rxn2 starter configuration The standard Raman Rxn2 starter configuration is the analyzer with a single Rxn-10 Raman spectroscopic probe. There is an optional upgrade to configure the analyzer with up to four channels, and the analyzer is compatible with the full range of Endress+Hauser liquid or bioprocessing probes.

  • Page 17: Initial Analyzer Setup

    In some cases, Endress+Hauser requires that installation and initial analyzer setup is performed by trained service personnel from Endress+Hauser or its affiliated channel partners. This section provides only a basic overview of the analyzer setup process and does not facilitate a full onsite installation or IQ/OQ. For IQ/OQ, a trained representative from Endress+Hauser or one of its authorized representatives must be present for both initial inspection and installation of the Raman Rxn2 analyzer.

    7.4.1 Laser The laser used in the Raman Rxn2 is a special version of Endress+Hauser’s Class 3B laser. It has a lockable injector that requires no routine adjustment. The laser can be turned on and off using the LASER ENABLE switch on the front of the base unit at any time while the Raman Rxn2 is operating.
  • Page 33 (ATX) power supply, which has no external fuses. If a short circuit were to occur inside the Raman Rxn2 it would be on the DC output side of the power supply. In this event, the power supply would turn itself off and the user must manually reset the power by removing the plug for 5 minutes after the source of the short circuit is resolved.
  • Page 34 Air filter The Raman Rxn2 incorporates a tacked polyester spun air filter element to reduce dust intake into the base unit. The air filter is accessed by a magnetically secured access panel on the front of the instrument. The air filter should be cleaned with compressed air once every month or if the embedded software is reporting an internal over-temperature error (if ambient temperature is within specification).
  • Page 35: Operation

    Raman RunTime embedded software Raman RunTime is the embedded control software installed on all the Raman Rxn2 analyzers. It is intended for easy integration with standard multivariate analysis and automation platforms to enable a real-time, in situ process monitoring and control solution.
  • Page 36: Calibration And Verification

    Probe calibration The sensitivity of the Raman Rxn2 varies with wavelength due to variations in the throughput of the optics and the quantum efficiency of the CCD. The probe calibration function in Raman RunTime can be used to remove the effects of this variation from measured spectra.
  • Page 37 8.3.3 Probe verification The probe verification wizard may be used to verify that the Raman Rxn2 is performing within specifications. Probe verification acquires a Raman spectrum of a standard Raman sample, usually 70 % IPA or cyclohexane, and analyzes the resultant spectrum for peak positions, peak area ratios and Raman signal strength. The peak position verification confirms that the spectrograph and laser wavelength calibrations are within specification.

  • Page 41: Maintenance

    Prior to performing a camera alignment operation, it is important to ensure that no stray light is entering any of the probes that are attached to the Raman Rxn2. Alignment is performed with an internal white light source, and stray light entering on any of the attached probes can interfere with the alignment light source.
