Pyris Installation

NOTE: If you are going to install multiple analyzers, or just want to install a universal serial

bus, see

Install Multiple Analyzers

before you begin to install an analyzer.

This user’s guide gives information on the installation of your PerkinElmer Thermal Analysis

System, and details about the operation and maintenance of the hardware. This information

can also be found in the Pyris Installation and Hardware Help provided with your Pyris

software.

Information on the operation of the Pyris software can be found in the software Help.

In general, the installation procedure consists of the following steps:

•

Prepare the laboratory

•

Unpack the thermal analysis system

•

Set up the required system components (for example, purge gases, cooling supply, and

analyzer-specific items)

•

Connect the system components

•

Configure the analyzer

•

Calibrate the analyzer
