A wide range of optional MIR and NIR accessories, such as the Universal ATR accessory, fit
in the sample compartment (Figure 6).

It is easy to remove an internal accessory and to replace it with another. See
Appendix 1:
Changing the Sample Area Accessory
on page 96.
The instrument identifies the type of accessory fitted using a coded connector on its
baseplate that plugs into a socket on the rear wall of the sample compartment.
External accessories
The external beam port on the right side of the instrument is used, for example, with the
optional External Near Infra Red Accessory (External NIRA). Spectrum software enables you
to switch the instrument between this external accessory and another accessory fitted in the
sample compartment.

NOTE: To use your instrument with an external accessory, you require the optional External
Beam Pack. If you did not purchase the External Beam Pack with your spectrometer,
it is available as a field-fitted upgrade (L1280248).
For information about removing or refitting an external accessory, refer to its User’s Guide,
which is distributed on the
IR & Raman Manuals CD
(L1050002) as a .pdf file.
