Page 13: Taking A Background
DOC0893 KeitSpec Software User Manual Section 1 Getting Started. 2.6. Installation best practice Having cleaned the probe and taken a background spectrum, the IRmadillo is ready to be inserted into the reaction/process of interest. Probe installation is unique for each application. Safe installation of the probe into the process is the responsibility of the user and should be assessed by a suitably trained person. - Page 14 • The body of the IRmadillo should not be placed in direct sunlight or near a heat source. The instrument has internal temperature control, but this rating is limited and model dependant. Direct heat sources can force the instrument beyond its operating range and cause damage.
