1 00:00:06,196 --> 00:00:12,536 DELTA XRF Analyzers Quick Start Video 2 00:00:12,538 --> 00:00:15,435 Hello my name is Mabray Andrews. 3 00:00:15,436 --> 00:00:18,683 This video will show you how quick and easy it is 4 00:00:18,685 --> 00:00:23,378 to use your DELTA XRF Analyzer right out of the case, 5 00:00:23,380 --> 00:00:26,121 and how to be safe when using it. 6 00:00:26,123 --> 00:00:28,831 When you first open the case you’ll find 7 00:00:28,965 --> 00:00:32,845 the shipping papers and documentation for your DELTA, 8 00:00:32,978 --> 00:00:35,251 your DELTA analyzer, 9 00:00:35,385 --> 00:00:37,958 two Lithium-ion batteries, 10 00:00:38,091 --> 00:00:40,493 the CalCheck coupon, 11 00:00:40,626 --> 00:00:42,535 USB cables, 12 00:00:42,668 --> 00:00:47,668 a USB drive that includes software and user documentation, 13 00:00:47,801 --> 00:00:51,175 either Kapton or Prolene windows, 14 00:00:51,308 --> 00:00:55,231 and the AC adaptor for the docking station. 15 00:00:55,365 --> 00:00:59,923 Underneath the first layer of protective foam you’ll find 16 00:00:59,925 --> 00:01:01,356 The docking station 17 00:01:01,490 --> 00:01:05,428 and the AC adaptor for the analyzer, if you bought one. 18 00:01:05,561 --> 00:01:09,331 To use the analyzer, pull open the battery latch, 19 00:01:09,333 --> 00:01:12,111 and insert one of the fully charged batteries, 20 00:01:12,113 --> 00:01:14,888 then close the latch. 21 00:01:14,890 --> 00:01:17,741 The batteries only go in one way. 22 00:01:17,743 --> 00:01:20,601 If the battery isn’t sliding into position, 23 00:01:20,603 --> 00:01:25,826 take it out, rotate it, and slide it back in. 24 00:01:25,828 --> 00:01:30,515 Press the Power button on the top of the analyzer. 25 00:01:30,516 --> 00:01:34,740 After it powers up, the Radiation Safety Notice appears. 26 00:01:34,741 --> 00:01:38,280 After you read it, tap Start. 27 00:01:38,281 --> 00:01:41,521 Because this is your first time using the analyzer, 28 00:01:41,523 --> 00:01:43,636 it will need a Calibration Check. 29 00:01:43,638 --> 00:01:46,251 The Calibration Check, or CalCheck, 30 00:01:46,253 --> 00:01:49,278 makes sure that the analyzer is working correctly. 31 00:01:49,280 --> 00:01:53,445 The analyzer will need a CalCheck every ten hours, 32 00:01:53,446 --> 00:01:57,200 whether it’s being used for those ten hours or not. 33 00:01:57,201 --> 00:02:00,140 Put the CalCheck coupon on a flat surface 34 00:02:00,141 --> 00:02:03,418 and place the analyzer window on the coupon. 35 00:02:03,420 --> 00:02:07,121 Tap the CalCheck icon on the analyzer screen. 36 00:02:07,123 --> 00:02:12,333 CalCheck takes less than 30 seconds. 37 00:02:12,335 --> 00:02:15,246 CalCheck is an X-ray test, 38 00:02:15,248 --> 00:02:18,176 so the red X-ray indicator will be flashing 39 00:02:18,178 --> 00:02:21,876 to warn you that X-rays are being emitted. 40 00:02:21,878 --> 00:02:25,135 This is a good time to talk about X-ray safety. 41 00:02:25,136 --> 00:02:28,475 As long as you use your DELTA analyzer correctly, 42 00:02:28,476 --> 00:02:31,173 and follow the recommended testing techniques 43 00:02:31,175 --> 00:02:33,695 and safety precautions found in your manual, 44 00:02:33,696 --> 00:02:36,663 you and everyone around you will be safe. 45 00:02:36,665 --> 00:02:39,220 Our instruments are secure and dependable, 46 00:02:39,221 --> 00:02:43,320 but there are a few things that are important for you to know 47 00:02:43,321 --> 00:02:48,620 When the red light is flashing, X-rays are being emitted. 48 00:02:48,621 --> 00:02:52,271 Never point the analyzer at yourself. 49 00:02:52,273 --> 00:02:56,810 Never point the analyzer at anyone else. 50 00:02:56,811 --> 00:03:01,501 Never place your hand in front of the analyzer window. 51 00:03:01,503 --> 00:03:06,171 Once CalCheck is done, your analyzer is ready to use. 52 00:03:06,173 --> 00:03:10,606 Your analyzer has been configured to your specifications. 53 00:03:10,608 --> 00:03:13,166 The DELTA in this video has been configured 54 00:03:13,168 --> 00:03:15,496 for metal alloy identification, 55 00:03:15,498 --> 00:03:18,450 so we are going to test some metal. 56 00:03:18,451 --> 00:03:20,625 DELTAs with an alloy calibration will have 57 00:03:20,626 --> 00:03:23,188 the Window Guard System installed. 58 00:03:23,190 --> 00:03:25,246 For Premium and Professional models 59 00:03:25,248 --> 00:03:27,551 capable of testing lighter elements, 60 00:03:27,553 --> 00:03:29,436 you must remove the Window Guard window and 61 00:03:29,438 --> 00:03:34,625 change your mode to Alloy Plus to test for these elements. 62 00:03:34,626 --> 00:03:38,085 Testing is a short, simple, three-step process: 63 00:03:38,086 --> 00:03:41,260 place, test, view the result. 64 00:03:41,261 --> 00:03:43,760 Your DELTA is configured to end testing 65 00:03:43,761 --> 00:03:46,115 when an alloy has been identified, 66 00:03:46,116 --> 00:03:49,571 so you don’t have to determine when a test has ended. 67 00:03:49,573 --> 00:03:51,618 As soon as your test is over, 68 00:03:51,620 --> 00:03:54,085 you can go on to the next test. 69 00:03:54,086 --> 00:03:59,798 Remember: when the X-ray indicator is flashing X-rays are being emitted. 70 00:03:59,800 --> 00:04:02,565 When the X-ray indicator is solid red, 71 00:04:02,566 --> 00:04:06,688 the X-ray tube inside the analyzer is powered on 72 00:04:06,690 --> 00:04:09,751 but not emitting X-rays. 73 00:04:09,753 --> 00:04:13,781 The battery in the analyzer should last for about 4 hours. 74 00:04:13,783 --> 00:04:16,045 All DELTAs have hot-swappable batteries, 75 00:04:16,046 --> 00:04:18,831 so you don’t have to power down the analyzer 76 00:04:18,833 --> 00:04:21,661 just to put in a fresh battery. 77 00:04:21,663 --> 00:04:24,595 To swap batteries, just open the battery latch, 78 00:04:24,596 --> 00:04:28,041 pull out the battery, and insert a fresh one. 79 00:04:28,043 --> 00:04:33,540 A countdown screen shows you how much time you have to complete the swap. 80 00:04:33,541 --> 00:04:35,451 Once the fresh battery is in 81 00:04:35,453 --> 00:04:39,156 you can keep right on testing. 82 00:04:39,158 --> 00:04:42,861 When you are not using the DELTA for any length of time, 83 00:04:42,863 --> 00:04:45,363 place it in the Docking Station. 84 00:04:45,365 --> 00:04:49,056 The Docking Station will: Automatically run a CalCheck 85 00:04:49,058 --> 00:04:51,788 Automatically charge the battery in the analzyer 86 00:04:51,790 --> 00:04:55,471 And automatically charge the backup battery. 87 00:04:55,473 --> 00:04:58,215 As long as the analyzer is powered on 88 00:04:58,216 --> 00:05:00,921 the Docking Station will recognize it. 89 00:05:00,923 --> 00:05:03,681 The status of both batteries will be displayed 90 00:05:03,683 --> 00:05:09,211 on the analyzer screen and a Cal Check will be performed automatically. 91 00:05:09,213 --> 00:05:14,483 This concludes your introduction to the Olympus DELTA XRF Analyzer. 92 00:05:14,485 --> 00:05:17,666 For more information contact your local representative 93 00:05:17,668 --> 00:05:27,833 or visit us online at
