Unpack and Get Started with the
Spectrometer
Unpacking and setting up your Thermo Scientific Nicolet Summit OA Spectrometer requires you to
place the instrument in your workspace, to connect and power on the spectrometer, and to run a short
performance test.
Before You Begin
NOTICE
Wait 24 hours before taking the spectrometer out of its plastic shipping bag to prevent
condensation from forming that can damage internal optics. The warranty will not cover damage
due to opening the sealed plastic bag before the instrument has come to room temperature.
Reminder: Review the spectrometer's Site and Safety Information to ensure that the workspace is
safe and suitable for the instrument.
Unpacking and Setup
The steps for unpacking and setting up your spectrometer vary somewhat depending on the options
you purchased.
1. Unpack the shipping box
Remove the spectrometer from the shipping box and bag and remove additional packing
materials.
The spectrometer comes with a removable dust cover over the ATR crystal. Use the dust cover
when storing or moving the instrument, and remove it for regular use.
2. Connect the power supply to the spectrometer and to a properly grounded AC power source.
3. Connect the monitor, keyboard, and mouse.
a. Connect your monitor to the spectrometer's Mini DisplayPort connection.
