    Opening at the bottom of the cable tray

    Several types of tray are used in different applications. A solid-bottom tray provides the maximum protection to cables, but requires cutting the tray or using fittings to enter or exit cables.

A ventilated tray has openings in the bottom of the tray, allowing some air circulation around the cables, water drainage, and allowing some dust to fall through the tray.

    The spectrometer cannot shut off the argon gas

    If it is inevitable to switch off the spectrometer, please proceed with the following steps: - Switch-Off the multipliers via the software (Spectrometer Test Run --> Tools --> High Voltage Off). - Close manually the ball valve. The spectrometer should not be switched off. • Are all power switches turned ON? Confirm that the power is supplied to the instrument at every necessary location. If any power cannot be turned ON, check the switchboard supplying the power to. Do you have the necessary supplies to restart and run for a month or more?
