• Refer to the DELTA User’s Manual (P/N: 103201) for more detailed information.

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.

Safety Information 3

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.

Figure 2-1 Caution radiation label on top of test stand

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.

37.5 cm (14.75 in.)

52.2 cm (20.5 in.)

To shut down the analyzer in case of an emergency

 Raise the lid (recommended method).

OR Press the Stop Test button on the user interface. OR Unplug the probe adaptor cable from the test stand’s 15-pin D-Subminiature connector (see section 1.1 on page 2).

Opening the lid will not compromise the integrity of the test data.

3. Physical Planning

3.1 Workstation Footprint

The DELTA Portable Workstation weighs 8.9 kg (19.6 lb) with the probe adaptor, analyzer, and battery included.

To make a minimum footprint for the test stand, add at least 5.1 cm (2 in.) to the actual 52.1 cm (20.5 in.) width and 37.5 cm (14.75 in.) depth. Plan for a 70 cm (27.5 in.) height when the lid is fully open (see Figure 3-1 on page 5). You should be able to comfortably access the analyzer’s lid latch and test chamber.

You can use either the removable Li-ion battery (standard) or an AC adaptor (optional). You may also want to use the DELTA docking station or a standard battery charger in the workstation area.

Both of the charging accessories require an AC power source.

4. Unfolding the Test Stand

To unfold the test stand

To avoid equipment damage, make sure that there is sufficient clearance when unfolding the test stand (see section 3.1 on page 5).

1. Place the test stand on a table or a bench with its legs facing toward you (see Figure 4-1 on page 7).

2. Make sure that the locking levers are open (see Figure 4-1 on page 7).
