Note:

Retain all packing materials.

1.

Following the instructions provided in the SMART Turbo shipping carton, carefully remove the instrument and place
it on the vibration-free workbench or laboratory table in a location that

a. provides a draft free, dust free, dry environment. The temperature of the room must be between 50 °F and 85 °F

(10 °C - 29 °C). Temperature should not vary more than 10 °F (5 °C) per day. Relative humidity range should be
0-85%.

b. is free from vibration of large equipment and/or excessive walk-through traffic.

c. is capable of supporting the combined weight of the SMART Turbo and the SMART Trac II magnet {165 lbs. (75

kg)} and, if applicable,

does not have a steel (iron) top

d. . Materials such as wood, plastic, aluminum, or non-magnetic stainless steel

are suitable surfaces. Ensure that no steel bar, supporting the work surface, runs directly beneath the magnet.

e. provides adequate bench space — 44 in. (112 cm) in length and 30 in. (76 cm) in depth minimum - SMART

f. allows the instrument to be connected to a dedicated, grounded outlet as specified in the instrument

specifications and capable of accepting the plug of the power conditioner illustrated in this manual.

2.

Carefully remove the SMART Trac II processor module from its shipping carton and, based on available space, place
it on the workbench, on a shelf above the workbench or on the floor under the workbench. The processor

Note:

module must be within 9 ft. (3 m) of the magnet.

3. Cut the bands securing the cardboard on the magnet.

4. Lift the cardboard from the magnet.

5. Remove the foam from the top of the magnet.

6. With two people positioned on the sides of the magnet, one on each side, use the straps and carefully lift the magnet
from the skid and place it on the workbench beside the SMART Turbo. The magnet weighs approximately 110
pounds (50 kg).

7. Inspect each component of the system for visual damage.

If damage is noted, do not attempt instrument operation.

Ne pas mettre en marche si l’instrument est endommagé.

8. If any instrument component has been damaged in shipping, contact the freight carrier to report the damage and to
file a damage report. Contact CEM Service or the nearest subsidiary or distributor to request service information.

9. Verify that all accessories illustrated and listed on page 6 are included.

10. Unpack the power conditioner and place it on the work bench or the floor as far away from the SMART Trac II
Magnet as possible.

CAUTION

Ensure that the power conditioner is not placed in close proximity with the SMART Trac II magnet to prevent
demagnitization of the magnet.

11. Carefully connect each cable provided in the SMART Trac II cable kit and the cable in the accesssory kit. Ensure that
each cable is connected properly. (Refer to the illustration on pages 4 and 5. Use caution to prevent bending or
damaging the pins of the connectors.

12. Unpack the heater and heater block. Plug the heater power cord into one of the receptacles of the power conditioner
as illustrated on page 4. Place the heater block inside the heater. Press the “Power” button first, then press the
“On/Off” button as illustrated below. Follow the manufacturer’s instructions included with the heater block to set the
temperature of the heater to 40 °C. Place the Trac Standards (p/n 160065 and 160570) in the heater block and
permit the standards to heat for at least four (4) hours. Note: The label on the bottom of the heater indicates the
actual voltage

13. Plug the power cords from the SMART Turbo and the processor module into the power conditioner.

14. Plug the power cord of the power conditioner into the appropriate electrical outlet. Turn the power conditioner on.

Note: The above power cord is applicable to the U.S. only. Power cords for instruments installed in other countries will be
supplied based on electrical specifications for the applicable country.

ON

OFF

15. Position the power switch of the SMART Turbo and the SMART Trac II processor module in the “on” position.

Note: CEM Corporation recommends that the SMART Trac II System power cords be connected to electrical outlets and
the power switches remain in the “on” position at all times. After 15 minutes of idle time, the SMART Turbo assumes a
“sleep” mode.

16. Permit the system to warm up.

CAUTION

The SMART Trac II System requires a warm up period of at least4-8hours prior to operation. If the
instrument is switched off for an extended period of time (weekend, holidays, etc.), ensure that warmup
time is permitted prior to use.

17. When the warm-up time is complete, the blue indicator light on the front of the magnet will remain constant.
indicating that the heater is functioning properly.

18. Perform the QuickCheck MONITOR tests as outlined in the instructions supplied in the MONITOR package.

19. Perform the magnet temperature and homogeneity tests.

a. Temperature - From the SMART Turbo Main Menu, select “7 - SMART Trac.” Select “Next Page,” “1 - Diag-

nostics,” and “1-System Check.” Variable number 17 is the magnet temperature. The temperature should be
between 39 °C and 41 °C.

b. Homogeneity - Press any key on the keyboard. Select “4 - Magnet Homogeneity.” Follow the on-screen

instructions. The displayed homogeneity should be <20.0.

20. The SMART Trac II is ready for operation. Contact the local sales representative to arrange initial training or refer to

the SMART Trac II Operation Manual to begin analysis.
