To install the touchscreen monitor
1. Prepare the spectrometer.

b. Turn off the purge, if applicable, and disconnect the purge line to the instrument and
any accessory.
c. Remove any accessory from the sample compartment.

2. Remove the WiFi compartment cover from the back of the spectrometer.
While standing in front of the spectrometer, gently squeeze the left side of the cover and
lift the cover up and off of the spectrometer, as shown in Figure 1. This cover can be
discarded or stored for future use.

3. Install the touchscreen monitor.
The base of the touchscreen mount attaches to the spectrometer with three captive screws,
as shown in Figure 2.
Figure 2. The base fits over three pre-drilled holes
a. Guide the front bottom of the mount into the compartment and then rotate the
mount past the sides of the compartment, as shown in Figure 3.

b. Using the 9/64-inch hex driver, begin tightening each of the three captive screws to
ensure that the mount is aligned over the holes. Once each screw is started, finish
tightening all of the screws until they are snug. You may have to rotate the screen out
of the way to access each screw.
Figure 4. Rotate the screen out of the way if it is blocking access to the captive screws
4. Connect and position the three cables.
The touchscreen monitor connects to the spectrometer with three cables: an HDMI
cable, a USB cable, and the power cable. We recommend routing the cables in the
sequence described below to ensure that the cover sits properly over the cables.

a. Plug the thin power cable into the power port and then lay the cable along the guides
running along the top of the compartment, as shown in Figure 5.
Figure 5. The three cables wrap behind the spectrometer’s sample compartment
b. Plug the HDMI cable into the HDMI port, but leave the cable outside of the cable
guides for now. Slide the ferrite choke as close as possible to the HDMI port.
c. Plug in the USB cable and lay the cable on top of the thinner power cable in the cable
guides.
d. Tuck the coiled portion of the HDMI cable into the compartment in front of the
base of the touchscreen mount, as shown in Figure 6. It may be easier to roll the cable
into place rather than pushing it.

e. Lay the HDMI cable on top of the USB and power cables in the cable guides, and
tuck any excess cable in front of the touchscreen mount.
If you have a Summit PRO spectrometer, route the HDMI cable between two of the
vertical fins of the heat sink, as shown in Figure 7.
The HDMI cable should fit tightly along the side of the touchscreen mount. Excess
or loose cable can obstruct the compartment cover and prevent the cover from
closing.

5. Install the new cover and turn on the spectrometer.
a. Insert the tabs on the cover’s right edge into the slots in front of the touchscreen
mount, and then lower the cover over the cables and press the cover down until it
snaps into place. There should be only a thin, uniform gap between the covers.
Figure 8. Position the cover around the touchscreen mount first, then lower it into place
b. Plug in and power on the spectrometer.
c. To turn on the touchscreen, press the power button on the rear side of the monitor.
Congratulations. Your touchscreen monitor is installed and ready for use. With the
touchscreen monitor installed, you can open OMNIC Paradigm software and switch to the
touchscreen interface for a convenient, streamlined experience.

WARNING To ensure a good ground connection and avoid shock hazard, do not
use an outlet that is connected to a conduit ground. The ground must be a
noncurrent-carrying wire connected to earth ground at the main distribution
box.
