Specac Golden Gate GS10500 Series Quick Start Manual

Quick Start Guide For Golden Gate™ ATR
Accessory P/N GS10500 Series
This Quick Start Guide is intended to help you through the steps required for the correct first time installation and
alignment of the Golden Gate™ ATR Accessory into your IR spectrometer system. This guide is a supplement to
the Instruction Manual provided for the accessory itself where more detailed information can be found.
Step 1 – Install the Benchmark™ Baseplate into your spectrometer
The Benchmark™ baseplate supplied allows the Golden Gate™ ATR Accessory to be
positioned correctly in the sample compartment of your specific spectrometer.
Please consult the relevant page of the Benchmark™ Baseplate Installation Guide
instruction manual (2I-549-000-7) if you need more information.
Step 2 – Fit the Golden Gate™ ATR Top Plate to the Optical Unit
For any Golden Gate™ ATR Accessory that is supplied, the ATR crystal
Top Plate assembly of choice (with diamond or germanium crystal option)
will normally already be fitted to the Optical Unit. If these parts are separate,
install the Top Plate onto the Optical unit using the two fixing thumbs screws.
(The Top Plate will only fit to the Optical Unit one way evenly and flat
with the stud and pin fix fixings on the Optical Unit passing correctly
through the slot and circular holes on the Top Plate.)

The Golden Gate™ ATR Accessory can now be fitted onto the

tightened into the central front pillar.
