Installation of Iris Adapter:
The Iris Adapter is used for round sample cups,
beakers, vials, and other stationary samples.
The Sample Carrier must be removed before
installation of the Iris Adapter.
Align the holes in the Iris Adapter with the pins
on the sample platform, and carefully lower into
place. The pins hold the Iris Adapter securely in
position over the sample window.
Use the adjustment to open the iris as needed.
When using the Sample Transport for
stationary samples, select the correct
type of “Cell:” in the DCM, as shown:
The black highlighted setting must be
“Stationary” when using the Iris
Adapter.
(Full information on the DCM is given
in section 6.0.)
Use the iris to center samples in the window
area. Push the handle to the right to center the
sample, then to the left to move the iris from the
sample window area.
Close the door of the sample chamber to exclude
ambient light.

the material.
If the sample carriage moves upon initiating a
sample scan, the “Cell” must be reset to
“Stationary” in the DCM.
