Moving the Instrument
WARNING
The RamanStation 400 weighs about 45 kg. Two people are needed to
lift the instrument.
Before moving your instrument you must install the supplied packing assembly to prevent
damage to the stage.
To install the packing assembly:
1. Remove your sample holder from the stage.
2. In the Scan and Instrument Setup dialog in the Spectrum software, click Park Stage
on the Instrument page.
This moves the stage to the center of possible travel in the X and Y axes, and at its
lowest position in the Z axis. The front and right sides of the stage will be aligned.
3. Close Spectrum software.
4. Remove the alignment camera assembly from the sample compartment by removing
the USB cable from the socket labeled
and then unscrewing the lens snout from
the stage.
5. Lower the packing assembly into the recess in the center of the stage and use the 5
mm Hex key to tighten the bolt in the center of the assembly.
Note: When the instrument has reached its destination and has been reassembled, you
should perform the calibration routines described in
