Removing the sample compartment base
Cary 100/300
The Cary 100/300 has a rectangular base plate in the sample
compartment to protect the connectors from spills. You will need to
remove this plate when you install an accessory that plugs into one of
the sockets underneath the sample compartment.
The plate should be replaced in the sample compartment when the
accessory is removed to prevent damage to the connectors from
liquid spillage.
Cary 4000/5000/6000i/7000
The base of the Cary 4000/5000/6000i/7000 sample compartment is
completely removable. This allows for large apparatus to be
positioned in the sample compartment.
NOTE
Once the floor of the sample compartment has been removed, the optical
alignment with respect to the floor has been lost. Before performing any
microcell analyses, you will need to realign the optics.
To remove the base:
1 Remove the front door.
2 Remove the cover plate between the floor and the horizontal
extrusion.
3 Remove the horizontal extrusion by unscrewing the 2 screws in
its base.
4 Remove the lower cover plate.
5 Undo the fasteners holding the sample compartment floor.
6 Remove the sample compartment floor — the LockDown
mechanism will also be removed.
