Installing baseplate-mounted accessories
For information about installing accessories that are mounted on a baseplate, please refer to
the procedure for installing a baseplate. For additional information about using baseplate-
mounted accessories, see "Installing a sample" and "Adjusting sample height."
Installing slide-mounted accessories
The sample holder is designed to accommodate slide-mounted accessories (such as a variable
angle ATR) as well as thin film samples and optical filters. To install a slide-mounted
accessory:
1.
—
Slide the accessory into one pair of slots in the standard sample holder.
2.
—
Tighten the thumbscrew against the accessory support to hold the accessory in place.
Installing other accessories
Note: The following procedure explains how to install accessories that are not Smart
accessories. This procedure applies only if a sample compartment expansion kit has been
installed.
Notice: Your accessory must be mounted on one of our baseplates. If it is not, you can
remove an accessory from one of our baseplates and install your accessory on that baseplate,
or you can contact our sales or service representative in your area or visit our web site at
www.thermo.com/spectroscopy for assistance.
1.
—
Remove any Smart Accessory, or if a Smart Accessory is not installed, remove the
baseplate. Disconnect any cables that are connected at the back of the sample
compartment.
2.
—
If the accessory is purged through the windows in the side of the sample compartment,
install sidewall adapters.
3.
—
Install the accessory.
Use the instructions that came with the accessory to make any adjustments or perform
any alignment procedures that are necessary.
Note: Please see "Installing a sample" and "Adjusting sample height" for additional
