Page 7: Introduction
1. INTRODUCTION This section is intended for users who have not received the operation training but want to get the instrument up and running. It also contains useful reference information on the set-up of the instrument (hardware and software) and on packing the instrument in order to ship it. This section also contains information on the handling of hygroscopic materials and should be studied by customers having ordered optional hygroscopic optics for their MR system. -
Page 9: Unpacking And Setup
This is important for making a claim should the equipment have been damaged during shipment. Please notify the After Sales Service Department at ABB. Before unpacking the system a minimum delay of 12 hours is recommended to allow the equipment to reach thermal equilibrium with the environment. -

3. HARDWARE STARTUP a. CONNECTOR PLATES There is only one connection between the Spectroradiometer and the computer: a 25 pins serial cable for the MR100 or an optical fibre cable for the MR200. One end of the data cable connects to the respective connector plate for each instrument as indicated on the next two figures. - Page 12 It is used to show the progress of the power up self test sequence and to indicate faults in the instrument. When the instrument is working correctly the display will show 7, 9 or A depending on MR Series FT-Spectroradiometers...

DSP board, making sure that it is well inserted in the slots. When the computer is not purchased from ABB, the DSP board comes delivered as a separate item. To install it in the computer, please proceed as follows:... -
Page 17: Putting The Basic System Together
You must locate two adjacent free slots for the installation of the MR100 DSP, three for the MR200. You may have to re-arrange the location of existing boards to achieve that goal. Some blank holding plates (please refer to A on the above picture) may be present and must be removed. Please keep the screws. - Page 18 Connect the data cable at the proper location on the connector plate of the instrument. 10. Connect the other end of the cable into the DSP board located inside the computer. 11. Turn on both the computer and the spectroradiometer. MR Series FT-Spectroradiometers...

6. HANDLING AND CARE OF HYGROSCOPIC MATERIALS a. INTRODUCTION The window and beamsplitter materials that are frequently used in the field of FT-IR (Fourier Transform InfraRed) spectrometry can be damaged by exposure to moisture in the surrounding environment of the instrument or storage location. - Page 26 TlCl KRS-5 KRS-6 Optical material Figure 5-1.

Page 27: Handling And Care
c. HANDLING AND CARE The handling and care of the different halide components is not very difficult, but it does require a conscious effort to be made by the user to follow the suggested guidelines. Some suppliers of these optical materials had been contacted and their procedures for handling of such elements have been reviewed and are restated here for clarity. -
Page 28: Instrumentation
If the relative humidity is expected to constantly, or frequently, be higher than 35%, then a dry oil free gas purge to the instrument housing should be applied. (Consult your ABB representative on this aspect.) Exposed hygroscopic materials on the instrumentation, such as a window on top plate or at side port location, can be protected by placing desiccant material near the exposed surface and to cover and seal the optical element and desiccant with a non-water-absorbing material. - Page 29 Some notes are given here involving relative humidity as this term can be confusing as it represents only a relative measurement of water and not an absolute one, and, so, will vary with conditions encountered. The relative humidity with respect to water is defined as being the ratio of the amount of water that the air actually holds to the amount of water that the air can possibly hold [or in technical terms;...
