  • Page 7: Safety Precautions

    Safety Precautions SAFETY PRECAUTIONS Use the following safety guidelines to help ensure personal safety and to help protect the detector system from potential damage. HIGH VOLTAGES Exercise extreme caution where this label is found. High Voltage is present and can cause burn, shock and/or cause serious injury.

  • Page 8: Radiation Safety

    Safety Precautions RADIATION SAFETY The electron microscope generates ionizing radiation when the electron beam is energized. The detector is designed to have radiation leakage far less than the allowable level when properly mounted with all covers and shielding in place. EDAX warrants that its detectors and microscope interfaces when assembled and installed per EDAX Engineers or Representatives, will provide Radiation Safety performance levels that will be in compliance with the original Microscope design specifications.

  • Page 9: Prevent Particle Contamination Inside The Sample Chamber

    Safety Precautions 2.6.2 PREVENT PARTICLE CONTAMINATION INSIDE THE SAMPLE CHAMBER Particulates inside the sample chamber have a tendency to become entrained in the gas flow while venting the sample chamber. The gas flow during a chamber vent or increase in chamber pressure is generally turbulent meaning that entrained particles can fly in all directions, including toward the detector window.

  • Page 10: Avoid Touching The Window

    Safety Precautions 2.6.5 AVOID TOUCHING THE WINDOW Recommendations: • Exercise extreme caution when working near the SUTW. The collimator provides a physical barrier to protect the SUTW. Do not work with tools near the SUTW. • If it is necessary to remove the collimator, the collimator should be removed and installed by a trained technician so as not to touch the window or stress the end cap tip.

    Basic Detector Operation 4.2.2 USING AN OCTANE DETECTOR WITH TEAM SOFTWARE Check all detector functionality in the TEAM software. See the next section for Genesis software. Turn the detector cooling on in the Detector Status area. The detectors may be hardware or software interlocked with the microscope. Some or all may simply be software buttons that the user must acknowledge that it is ok to cool the detector.

  • Page 16: Using An Octane Detector With Genesis Software

    Basic Detector Operation 4.2.3 USING AN OCTANE DETECTOR WITH GENESIS SOFTWARE When a detector is used with the Genesis software, a small icon is placed in the Windows Task Tray that provides control for the detector for cooling and driving the optional motorized slide. The detectors may be hardware or software interlocked with the microscope.

  • Page 17: Motorized Detector

    Basic Detector Operation MOTORIZED DETECTOR If the detector is configured with a motorized slide, when a user wants to use the detector for analysis, after cooling the detector, there will be a software control to insert the detector into the analyze position.

    Basic Detector Operation LIGHT ELEMENT OPERATION 1. Check that the geometry is correct when collecting spectra. For example, an incorrect tilt used, giving an incorrect Take Off Angle, will affect the Quant results. You can also correct this after the data has been collected by editing the spectra file parameters. 2.

  • Page 25: Troubleshooting

    Troubleshooting TROUBLESHOOTING REMOTE DIAGNOSTICS When possible, it may be useful to use a remote access program such as Teamviewer to diagnose the system before an on-site visit. Remote access will allow an EDAX engineer to examine log files, diagnose system operation and allow service-level updates and adjustments to the detector.
