    NIRS™ DA1650 Operating Instructions Routine Start-up Turn on the analyzer by pressing the On/Off switch placed at the rear of the instrument. The analyser will now start up, initializing the software. This will take several minutes. Once the software is ready, the instrument will go through the start-up tests. The instrument is ready for analysis when the start-up test has succeeded.

  • Page 32: Analysis Procedure

    Please wait 5-10 minutes and repeat the selftest by going to the Care menu and select Instrument Diagnostics. If the problem persists, please contact your local FOSS representative and also forward the diagnostic report to them. You can still carry out analysis but every result will be highlighted in yellow, with a warning stating that the Startup test was not completed.

  • Page 33: Analysing The Sample

    NIRS™ DA1650 4.2.2 Analysing the Sample Instrument should be warmed up 30 minutes prior to first analysis. Choose the appropriate sample cup for the sample. See chapter 2 for information about the different cup types. Carefully prepare your sample and fill the sample cup all way up. Sample types that tend to form voids if simply poured in should be compressed using the back of a spoon or similar.
  • Page 34 NIRS™ DA1650 Products are installed and configured in FossManager. (Please refer to the Installation Guide for details.) Select a product and press Start to initiate the analysis sequence. Fig. 4:6 The specific cup to use with the selected product can be indicated along with the product name.

    Typically these log-files contain detailed and traceable information about the instruments operation but they do not contain any sample data or results. This command is used when log-files are requested by your FOSS representative e.g. for support issues. Log files can be exported to the internal hard drive but the recommendation is to export them direct to a USB memory key so they can be forwarded via e-mail or archived elsewhere.

    On the FossManager Configuration tab you enter the Address and Port number for the FossManager Network server to be used for this particular instrument. This information will be provided to you by the Network manager or the FOSS representative at time of installation.
  • Page 51 On the Reporting tab you set the paths for Manual/Automatic reports and for LIMS export. If the NIRS DA1650 is not connected to a local network, then the recommendation is to set these paths to point to a USB memory connected to the instrument, allowing easy access to the reports and exported files.

  • Page 55 NIRS™ DA1650 Absolute limits If Absolute limits are defined in FossManager for your check sample then the target has no meaning. The check sample test will give a Warning or Error based on the defined absolute limits. Example: • Error Low: 8 %; Warning Low: 9.5 %; Warning High: 12.5 % ; Error High: 14% Running a check sample definition is then not necessary as no target value is needed.
  • Page 56 NIRS™ DA1650 Press Start and enter pin code “1234” to run the check sample definition. Fig. 4:43 The check sample will now go through a series of analysis. ISIscan Nova may ask you for a Sample number (depending on settings in Operation profile. A Sample number is not required, but if you have more than one check sample it could be wise to enter the Serial number of the check sample in this field for future reference.
