Install a Reference Pan in a DSC 4000,
DSC 6000, Pyris 6 DSC or Jade DSC with
AS 6000 Autosampler
When running samples with the DSC 4000, DSC 6000, Pyris 6 DSC or the Jade DSC it is
recommended that a reference capsule be used in the furnace. The best reference material is
an empty sample pan and lid of the same type in which the sample material is encapsulated.
Because the autosampler and its base plate cover access to the reference pan area, they
have to be removed first. The procedure to do this and place a reference pan inside is as
follows:
1. Make sure that the power is off.
2. Remove both sample trays.
3. Remove the four screws that attach the autosampler to the base plate.
NOTE: Never remove the screws from the plate that is directly attached to the analyzer's
cover. This plate is positioned with respect to the furnace. The positioning is
performed by the service engineer upon installation.
4. Place the tips of your fingers in the indents in the sides of the base plate and lift the
autosampler to disengage the D connector and the two standoffs on the base plate.
5. Remove the upper furnace lid and the base plate lid holder.
6. Remove the lower furnace lid and the lower furnace lid holder.
This exposes the reference pan position. The sample pan position is the one closer to
the side of the instrument. The reference pan position is closer to the center of the
instrument.
