Installation
Before installation, make sure the spectrometer is working properly in the near-infrared region
without the Falcon Heated NIR Transmission Cell Accessory. This should be performed by
following the FTIR User’s Manual.
The Temperature Control Module must be installed before mounting Falcon NIR Transmission Cell
Accessory.
1.
Connect the RTD sensor cable to the front of the Falcon accessory and to the back of the
low profile temperature controller.
2.
If using a PC version temperature controller, install PIKE TempPRO
TM
software following the
instructions provided with the TempPRO instruction documentation. Connect the USB cable
to the back of the temperature controller and to a PC USB slot. Step 2 applies only to PC
controllers.
3.
Connect the power cord to DC Power In outlet located at the back of the low profile
temperature controller.
4.
Connect the 1/4 inch OD external tubing for liquid circulating fluid to the front of the Falcon
Accessory. These are quick-disconnect fittings. Push the tubing into the fitting to secure. To
release push the black ring around the fitting and pull the tubing. Test the seal of the quick
disconnect prior to putting the accessory in the bench by circulating the fluid using an
external circulator or by connecting the tubing to a running water tap.
5.
Place the Falcon Accessory in the sample compartment of the spectrometer. The accessory
plate assures the alignment of the accessory relative to the beam coming from the
spectrometer. Screw down the accessory. The baseplate is fixed in place without requiring
access to the inside of the accessory.
6.
Plug the AC power cord into a wall outlet.
