The machine is operated using the ELEMENTS software. The program is delivered on a USB
stick and is already installed on the PC if this has been ordered.
The following conditions must be met before operating the machine to analyse samples:
• The machine has been commissioned, see “Commissioning the machine”.
Proceed as follows to perform analyses:
1. Ensure that the PC has been switched on and the ELEMENTS software started (see
“Commissioning the machine”).
2. Open the “Analyses and results” window.
Create a new analysis and select a suitable application.
(see Elements Software “Application”)
3. Prepare a crucible with sample material.
Only use crucibles (Part number 90148 or 90149) from Eltra GmbH.
4. Use the automatic transfer of the sample weight from the balance to the PC or enter the
sample weight manually. Give a name for the sample in the “ID” box.
5. If you wish to analyse the sample using the induction furnace of the analyzer, place the
crucible into the crucible holder using crucible tongs (see Pos. (9) in “Front”).
Ensure that the main switch of the analyzer is set to Position 2.
6. To start the analysis, ensure that the desired analysis has been marked then press F5 or
click on the green arrow in the ELEMENTS software.
