Starting An Experiment; Stopping An Experiment; Maintaining The Instrument; Cleaning The User Interface Screen - TA DISCOVERY DSC2500 Getting Started Manual

Starting an Experiment

Before you start the experiment, ensure that the DSC is connected with the controller and you have entered
all necessary information through the instrument control software.
Start the experiment by selecting Start on the instrument control software or touching the START button
on the instrument user interface. When you start the instrument, the system automatically runs the experi-
ment to completion.

Stopping an Experiment

If for some reason you need to discontinue the experiment, you can stop it at any point by selecting Stop
through the instrument control software or touching the STOP button on the instrument user interface.

Maintaining the Instrument

The primary maintenance procedures described in this section are the customer's responsibility. Any fur-
ther maintenance should be performed by a representative of TA Instruments or other qualified service per-
sonnel. Consult the online help installed with the instrument control software for further information.
DANGER: Because of the high voltages in this instrument, untrained personnel must not
attempt to test or repair any electrical circuits.
DANGER: À cause de la présence de tensions élevées dans cet instrument, le personnel non
formé ne doit pas essayer de tester ou de réparer les circuits électriques.
CAUTION: Before using any cleaning or decontamination method except those recommended by
TA Instruments, check with TA Instruments that the proposed method will not damage the instru-
ment.
MISE EN GARDE: Avant d'utiliser une méthode de nettoyage ou de décontamination autre que
celle recommandée par TA Instruments, vérifiez auprès de TA Instruments que la méthode proposée
n'endommagera pas l'instrument.

Cleaning the User Interface Screen

You can clean the DSC user interface screen as often as you like. The instrument should first be turned off
in order to prevent activating the touch screen switches, which can result in unexpected instrument behav-
ior. The user interface screen should be cleaned with a household liquid glass cleaner and soft cloth. Wet
the cloth, not the user interface screen with the glass cleaner, and then wipe off the screen and surrounding
surfaces.
WARNING: Do not use harsh chemicals, abrasive cleansers, steel wool, or any rough materials
to clean the user interface screen, as you may scratch the surface and degrade its properties.
AVERTISSEMENT: N'utilisez pas de produits chimiques agressifs, de nettoyants abrasifs, de la
laine d'acier ou tout autre matériau rugueux pour nettoyer l'écran de l'interface utilisateur, car
vous pourriez égratigner sa surface et dégrader ses propriétés.
