NOTICE
Static electricity can permanently damage critical components in your spectrometer. To help prevent
such damage, follow these recommendations:

Before you disconnect the power supply, discharge any static electricity you may have accu-
mulated by touching the spectrometer’s metal base.

Weekly Maintenance
VERIFY THE SPECTROMETER PERFORMANCE
The OMNIC Paradigm software includes qualification and performance verification (PV) workflows for
your Summit spectrometer. The qualification workflows are standard industry-wide qualification tests
you most likely recognize (for example, European Pharmacopoeia, Japanese Pharmacopoeia, etc.).
The PV workflow runs a series of standard tests to verify instrument operation and ensure the accuracy
of your data. Any required reference standards are supplied inside the instrument and controlled by the
OMNIC Paradigm software.
We recommend that you run the PV workflow or your preferred qualification workflow at least once a
week.
CLEAN THE SPECTROMETER
The spectrometer can be cleaned only as recommended. See "Clean the Spectrometer" .
