Step 5 – Alignment Procedure
With the spectrometer in its energy monitoring mode, use the 2.5mm all driver (supplied) to adjust the alignment
screws in the following sequence (the screws are identified in the diagram opposite). Rotate each screw in turn (one
at a time) to o tain the maximum energy level.
Screw sequence 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6.
Do not adjust any ot er screws
If the energy has increased significantly after these
adjustments, repeat them again in the same order. This will
ensure that the accessory is in its optimum alignment.
Remem er, this alignment process only has to e done
once when first setting up the accessory in the spectrometer
– so it is worth spending a small amount of time now in
order to get the est performance from it in the future.
Step 6 – Replace t e Front Cover
Once aligned, the front cover can e replaced to maintain a sta le environment inside the accessory. To fit the purge
ellows or a dry air supply to purge the accessory, refer to page 18 of the Quest ATR Accessory instruction manual.
