Remove the Shipping/Alignment Tool
The STA 6000 is shipped with a tool inserted through the furnace into the balance
mechanism to minimize vibration during transportation. This tool is also used to align the
system after replacing a furnace or balance. It is important that you keep this tool in a safe
place. It is also recommended that you save the shipping foam should the analyzer require
shipment to another facility in the future.
1. Remove the furnace cover and the foam inserts.
2. Grip the upper part of the shipping/alignment tool using flat tweezers and carefully lift it
straight upwards and out of the furnace.
To replace the shipping/alignment tool:

Insert the tool into the hole in the bottom of the furnace.
The flat plate must be pointing towards the front of the analyzer.
To prepare the analyzer for shipment:
1. Position the two-part foam insert on top of the shipping/alignment tool within the
furnace.
2. Place the cylindrical foam insert on top of the first foam insert.
3. Replace the furnace cover and tape it shut.
Install the Sensor
Insert the sensor into the hole in the bottom of the furnace. The flat plate must be toward
the front of the analyzer so that the contacts on the sensor engage the PCB in the balance
properly. When the sensor is properly aligned, an audible beep will be heard when contact is
made. Continue inserting the sensor until it is fully engaged.
Connect the Cooling Device to the STA 6000
The STA 6000 has an integrated cooling jacket that accepts various types of cold gases and
liquids. The recommended cooling system is the Polyscience Chiller, which operates between
–20 and 200 °C. The recommended temperature range of the coolant is 15–25 °C.
CAUTION
ATTENTION
Low temperature cooling should only be used with caution on the STA
6000, as any condensation in the furnace area could damage the
electronic circuits.
Le refroidissement à basse température ne doit être utilisé qu'avec
prudence sur le STA 6000, car toute condensation dans la zone du four
pourrait endommager les circuits électroniques.
