IRAffinity-1
Chapter 5 Maintenance and Inspection
IRAffinity-1 has two Indicators - the Power indicator (green) and the Dry indicator (orange) - on the front panel.
The Power indicator lights up when the switch is turned on. The Dry indicator lights up when humidity in the
interferometer is low enough.
The IRAffinity-1 keeps the inside of the interferometer at low humidity by driving the dry unit and monitors
humidity inside of the interferometer, even while the IRAffinity-1 is not used. Accordingly, always let the power
plug of the IRAffinity-1 be connected to the AC power supply to keep the power supply. Confirm that the orange
Dry indicator is lit.
If the Dry indicator is not lit, please confirm following checkpoints.
1. AC for IRAffinity-1 is correctly the connected to AC line.
2. The AC line is correctly alive.
If the Dry indicator is not lit even if above points are not troubled, it may be caused by hardware trouble in the
IRAffinity-1.
In this case;
1. Unplug the AC power cord of IRAffinity-1 immediately, and do not use IRAffinity-1.
2. Open the top cover and install NEW SILICA GELs immediately.
3. Then contact your SHIMADZU representative.
