1064Defender Quick Start Guide
This Quick Start Guide provides an introduction to Safety,
Battery Installation, Login Information, and Scanning. Use
this guide along with the Thermo Scientific™1064Defender™
User Guide.
Safety
The instrument IS NOT designed to be intrinsically safe. Do not use the
instrument in any potentially explosive or unknown gas environment.
• Never point the laser in the instrument at yourself or others.
• Never activate the laser unless a sample fully covers the laser aperture.
• Always ensure that the laser is deactivated before removing the sample from the
laser aperture.
• The Nominal Ocular Hazard Distance, NOHD, for the 1064Defender analyzer,
is 63 inches (160 cm). Ensure that there are no people or reflective surfaces
within 63 inches of the laser beam path when analyzing samples in glass or clear
containers. Laser radiation may not be completely blocked by these materials.
• Never hold a potentially energetic material with your hands during a scan.
• Identify and wear appropriate protective equipment for the situation. Always
wear laser safety glasses and dress appropriately to minimize exposed skin.
Laser safety eye wear of OD 3 at 1064 nm must be worn when the laser hazard
cannot be controlled.
• The instrument is in Vial Mode when the sample is placed in a vial, and the vial
is placed in the vial holder. When mitigating hazards of energetic or thermally
sensitive materials, always remove the vial cap when scanning in Vial Mode so
that pressure cannot build up inside the vial, which could cause it to explode.

• Never activate the laser unless a sample fully covers the laser

• Always ensure that the laser is deactivated before removing the
sample from the laser aperture.
• The Nominal Ocular Hazard Distance, NOHD, for the
1064Defender analyzer, is 80 inches (203 cm). Ensure that
there are no people or reflective surfaces within 48 inches of the
laser beam path when analyzing samples in glass or clear
containers. Laser radiation may not be completely blocked by
these materials.
• Never hold a potentially energetic material with your hands
during a scan.

remove the vial cap when scanning in Vial Mode so that
pressure cannot build up inside the vial, which could cause it to
explode.
• Use the Scan Delay feature which allows you time to get away to
a safe distance before the laser is activated. Use Scan Timeout to
limit the amount of time that the laser is activated.
• Use Vial Mode whenever possible.
Laser Information Label: Provides information about the class,
wavelength, and output power of the laser contained within the
instrument. The label is located on the back of the instrument.
Laser Aperture Label: Alerts the user that the energy from the laser
exits through this aperture. This radiation can harm the eyes.
Therefore, take care that the eyes are suitably protected. The label is
located on the top of the instrument, above the display.

Sample Scanning and Scan Results
Self Test PASS: Instrument
correctly identified the
polystyrene rod, indicating
proper functionality.
Self Test FAIL: Instrument
could not properly identify
polystyrene and should not be
used until the problems are
corrected. Wipe the polystyrene
rod with a damp cloth, place
in vial holder and perform a
second Self Test. If the result
is FAIL, contact Customer
Support.
If your drug sample is in a closed transparent plastic bag, the instrument will be able
to analyze the substance directly through the bag.
1. Remove the polystyrene rod from the vial holder, and remove the vial holder from
the laser exit aperture.
