1. Product Overview
The DELTA Portable Workstation provides a fully shielded, rugged test stand for benchtop or remote-controlled testing. It
is comprised of:
• An A020-D test stand (U8990865)
• Any DELTA handheld analyzer model (including the Premium, Standard, or Classic)
In this configuration, the DELTA is controlled by the Olympus DELTA PC software. The open-beam handheld analyzer is
then converted into a safe closed-beam workstation.

2. Safety Information
2.1 Radiation Safety Information
The DELTA Portable Workstation is a secure and dependable system when used in accordance with recommended testing
techniques and safety procedures. The radiation detected in the area outside the closed workstation is below the prescribed
limit for unrestricted areas.
• Olympus analyzers must only be used by trained and authorized operators in accordance with proper safety
procedures. Improper use may impair safety protection and cause potential harm to the user.
• Read all warning signs and labels.

X-ray indicator cutout
• DO NOT USE the workstation if it exhibits any sign of damage, as doing so could result in unintentional emission of
stray radiation. If any damage is found or suspected, have a qualified professional perform a radiation safety test and
repair the workstation.

2.2 Safety Interlock Structure
This mandatory feature ensures that the DELTA Portable Workstation functions as a closed-beam X-ray system. To
establish a radiation-safe test chamber, the lid must be completely closed over the test platform. Until this condition is met,
no test analysis or Cal Check procedures can be initiated.
Examples of the safety interlock structure:
• If the lid is not closed (the safety interlock structure is not engaged for X-ray emission), the Cal Check button or Start
Test button is disabled (grayed out). It is not possible to force the X-ray On condition.
• If the lid is opened during an active test, the X-ray tube turns off immediately, and a “Test Aborted” message is
displayed.
The instrument turns off.
2.3 X-Ray Indicator
The X-ray indicator is located on the top of the test stand (see Figure 2-1 on page 4). This indicator consists of a fourelement amber LED array and has two key functions:
X-ray indicator continuously On (solid amber LED array)
This signifies that the X-ray tube is enabled.
X-ray indicator flashing On (blinking amber LED array)
This signifies that the analyzer is emitting X-ray radiation through the analysis window.
2.4 Software Proximity Sensor
Within one second of the start of a test, the analyzer detects the sample in front of the measurement window. If no sample
is detected, the X-rays automatically turn off.
2.5 Shut Down Under Emergency Conditions
If you believe that the analyzer is locked up in an On condition, and the amber LED array continues to blink, perform the
following procedure.
