2.7. Secondary Safety Windows

2.7.1. Secondary safety windows should be fitted into the sample port of the LAB-X5000
before any measurements are made. These prevent dust, accidental sample spillage,
etc. from entering the analysis head and contaminating the system.
2.7.2. Assembly of secondary safety windows
2.7.2.1. Safety windows are assembled using a secondary window stage with clamping
ring and a window film. This film will depend on the application.
2.7.3. Secondary Window Assembly
2.7.3.1. Place the plastic outer ring on a flat surface. Note: If the ring has a stepped end,
place the stepped end upwards.
2.7.3.2. Place a piece of window material on top of the ring and press the plastic inner ring
fully down onto the outer ring, trapping the window material.
2.7.3.3. Check that the assembled window is perfectly flat. If not, repeat the mounting
