Operation Setting up the height Note When setting up the height, stripe- or point-shaped reflections can occur for samples with a reflecting surface. In such a case, the actual laser point (1) is hard to spot or may be confused with the reflection (2).
Page 23
Operation Set the correct height for the sample. The laser (2) helps with the setting. If the sample on the scissor lift table is at an incorrect height (3), use the setting dial (4) to adjust its position until it is at the correct height (1).
Page 24
Operation Start the measurement using the green “Start” button. The measurement is performed automatically. Perform further measurements if required. The measurement is complete. Note Measure a reference sample at regular intervals. This will allow you to identify changes of the measurement results in good time. —...
Maintenance by the operator Maintenance by the operator Note In order to ensure the availability and operational safety of the equipment, we recommend having the system checked for correct operation and performance at least once per year by specialized technicians. To find contact addresses of service organizations authorized by SPECTRO go to www.spectro.com Operator maintenance plan Caution! Ionizing radiation!
Maintenance by the operator Energy channel recalibration (MCA) In order to recalibrate the instrument, proceed as follows: In the software program, select the “Recalibration” menu item beneath the green “Start” button and then select “MCA Recalibration”. The corresponding program window is displayed. ...
Maintenance by the operator Global recalibration Note An energy channel recalibration procedure (MCA) should always be performed before carrying out a global recalibration procedure. Following this, the control sample should be measured again. A global recalibration procedure only has to carried out if the values still lie outside the tolerance range.
