TMA Q Series Getting Started Guide

Starting the TMA

1. Check all connections between the TMA and the controller. Make sure each component is plugged into the

correct connector.

2. Set the instrument power switch to the ON (1) position.

After the proper power up sequence, the TA Instruments logo will be displayed on the touch screen, this indi-

cates that the instrument is ready for use.

NOTE: Allow the TMA to warm up for at least 30 minutes before performing an experiment.

Shutting Down the TMA

Before you decide to power down your 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 TMA 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 discouraged. Therefore, when

you finish running an experiment on your instrument and wish to use the thermal analysis system for some

other task, it is recommended that you leave the instrument on.

To ensure proper shutdown of the instrument, it is recommended that you initiate the "Shutdown Instrument"

function before turning off or resetting your instrument. This function is available on the instrument touch

screen or through the Instrument Control software.

To power down your instrument set the power switch to the OFF (0) position.
