Shutting Down the Instrument
Shutting Down
the Instrument
Before you decide to power down your TGA
instrument, consider the following:
All of the components of your thermal
analysis system are designed to be powered
on for long periods.
The electronics of the TGA and the
controller perform more reliably if power
fluctuations caused by turning units on and
off are minimized.
For these reasons, turning the system and its
components on and off frequently is dis-
couraged.
When you finish running an experiment on your
TGA and wish to use the thermal analysis
system for some other task, leave the instrument
on; it will not interfere with whatever else you
wish to do.
If you do need to power down your instrument
for any reason, simply press the POWER switch
to the OFF (0) position.
