Installation
5.1 Install the ASC6 in ARL EQUINOX
Insert the sample holder in the sample holder mounting hole of the instrument, do not use
any unnecessary force. The sample holder and the mounting hole (Ø 30 mm) are designed
to avoid any mechanical clearance resulting in irreproducible results. The pin of the
sample holder has to be inserted in the reference hole.
For more detailed information refer to the ARL EQUINOX instruction notice.
5.2 Connections to the Power Supply
The ASC6 sample holder is supplied by 12 VDC and 24 VDC.
The power supply plug for the spinning sample holder is located below the sample area in
the ARL EQUINOX.
Refer to the ARL EQUINOX reference manual for more details.
5.3 Setting of the Incident Angle
The incidence angle indicator consists of two rings. One ring is fixed while the second one is
free. This allows the sample holder to rotate in order to change the incidence angle. This
second ring can be tightened to avoid changes of the incidence angle. The way of reading
the incidence angle indicator is described in the picture below. The longest line represents
the incidence angle equal to 0° (
2
). Each short line represents 2° of incidence angle (
4
).
The medium long lines represent 10° of incidence angle (
3
). Then, the indicator (
1
) serves to
read the total incidence angle.
The sample holder is equipped with a positioning pin to avoid any position mistake and
an incidence angle indicator to read the incidence angle.
