1 00:00:05,503 --> 00:00:10,595 The Flex Stand for DELTA Handheld XRF Analyzers. 2 00:00:10,596 --> 00:00:12,951 Welcome to this instructional video 3 00:00:12,953 --> 00:00:14,526 that shows you how to use 4 00:00:14,528 --> 00:00:19,521 The Flex Stand for DELTA Handheld XRF Analyzers. 5 00:00:19,523 --> 00:00:22,448 The Flex Stand is a lightweight mobile test stand 6 00:00:22,449 --> 00:00:24,394 with a shielded sample chamber 7 00:00:24,396 --> 00:00:26,971 for use in benchtop and field testing. 8 00:00:26,973 --> 00:00:31,008 This video will show you how easy it is to use. 9 00:00:31,010 --> 00:00:34,311 The Flex Stand provides a compact, cost effective 10 00:00:34,313 --> 00:00:37,661 and hands-free method for testing small samples, 11 00:00:37,663 --> 00:00:40,346 sample cups and bagged samples. 12 00:00:40,348 --> 00:00:42,939 The Flex Stand has two configurations, 13 00:00:42,941 --> 00:00:45,071 horizontal and vertical. 14 00:00:45,073 --> 00:00:47,535 The horizontal configuration allows access 15 00:00:47,536 --> 00:00:50,238 to the DELTA touch screen user interface, 16 00:00:50,239 --> 00:00:53,876 eliminating the need for a controlling PC. 17 00:00:53,878 --> 00:00:57,158 To assemble the Flex Stand in the horizontal position, 18 00:00:57,160 --> 00:01:00,356 remove the stanchion from its storage position. 19 00:01:00,358 --> 00:01:02,643 Place the stanchion into the base, 20 00:01:02,644 --> 00:01:04,671 making sure the notches on the stanchion 21 00:01:04,673 --> 00:01:07,491 are aligned with the tabs on the base. 22 00:01:07,493 --> 00:01:10,351 To attach the sample chamber to the stanchion, 23 00:01:10,353 --> 00:01:12,874 align the grooves on the sample chamber 24 00:01:12,876 --> 00:01:14,919 with the tracks on the stanchion, 25 00:01:14,921 --> 00:01:17,099 and slide it in place. 26 00:01:17,101 --> 00:01:20,464 Secure the DELTA XRF analyzer to the sample chamber 27 00:01:20,466 --> 00:01:22,416 with a simple push-and-click. 28 00:01:22,418 --> 00:01:24,124 and check that the end of the handle 29 00:01:24,126 --> 00:01:27,515 is securely positioned on the Flex Stand base. 30 00:01:27,516 --> 00:01:30,468 To test a sample, open the hinged lid 31 00:01:30,469 --> 00:01:34,515 of the chamber and set the sample on the platform. 32 00:01:34,516 --> 00:01:36,654 Use the knob underneath the sample chamber 33 00:01:36,656 --> 00:01:38,834 to adjust the platform height. 34 00:01:38,836 --> 00:01:43,046 Make sure the sample is directly in front of the analyzer window. 35 00:01:43,048 --> 00:01:45,590 For prepared samples in soil cups, 36 00:01:45,591 --> 00:01:49,644 there is a groove to keep the sample in place and secure. 37 00:01:49,646 --> 00:01:51,010 For bagged samples, 38 00:01:51,011 --> 00:01:52,973 there is a three-position adjustable wedge 39 00:01:52,974 --> 00:01:56,731 to keep the sample against the analyzer window. 40 00:01:56,733 --> 00:01:58,996 Once your sample is positioned securely 41 00:01:58,998 --> 00:02:02,914 against the analyzer window, close the chamber door. 42 00:02:02,916 --> 00:02:06,464 The magnetic closure will produce an audible click. 43 00:02:06,466 --> 00:02:08,906 Then begin the test. 44 00:02:08,908 --> 00:02:11,014 You can view results and easily 45 00:02:11,016 --> 00:02:14,071 adjust settings using the touch screen. 46 00:02:14,073 --> 00:02:18,571 The Flex Stand is compatible with an AC battery adapter. 47 00:02:18,573 --> 00:02:21,315 Use the “kickstand” to support the DELTA handle 48 00:02:21,316 --> 00:02:24,260 when the battery adaptor is in place. 49 00:02:24,261 --> 00:02:27,515 After testing is complete, pull the release handle 50 00:02:27,516 --> 00:02:29,298 on the sample chamber 51 00:02:29,300 --> 00:02:32,555 to remove the DELTA from the Flex Stand. 52 00:02:32,556 --> 00:02:34,709 You can now remove the sample chamber 53 00:02:34,711 --> 00:02:37,111 from the Flex Stand. 54 00:02:37,113 --> 00:02:39,861 The stanchion clicks into the underside of the base 55 00:02:39,863 --> 00:02:41,998 for easy storage. 56 00:02:42,000 --> 00:02:45,359 To use the Flex Stand in the vertical configuration, 57 00:02:45,361 --> 00:02:47,300 place the analyzer in the base 58 00:02:47,301 --> 00:02:49,486 making sure the analyzer power button 59 00:02:49,488 --> 00:02:52,944 is facing toward the rear of the Flex Stand. 60 00:02:52,946 --> 00:02:55,104 Carefully attach the sample chamber 61 00:02:55,106 --> 00:02:59,258 to the analyzer snout with a simple push-and-click. 62 00:02:59,260 --> 00:03:01,049 To connect to a PC, 63 00:03:01,051 --> 00:03:04,803 use the USB port on the side of the DELTA. 64 00:03:04,804 --> 00:03:06,384 To test a sample, 65 00:03:06,386 --> 00:03:08,511 open the hinged lid of the chamber, 66 00:03:08,513 --> 00:03:12,061 and place the sample over the analyzer window. 67 00:03:12,063 --> 00:03:17,243 Close the sample chamber lid before operating the analyzer. 68 00:03:17,244 --> 00:03:20,113 This concludes the introduction to the Flex Stand 69 00:03:20,114 --> 00:03:24,316 for Olympus DELTA Handheld XRF analyzers. 70 00:03:24,318 --> 00:03:27,884 For more information, contact
