• The IRAffinity-1 series has a self-diagnosis function. The IRAffinity-1 series automatically checks its own status during operation or startup. When all items are judged OK, the IRAffinity-1 series can be used normally. The contents of the self-diagnosis are described below.
• Items to be checked when IRAffinity-1 series is initialized, or when [Instrument]-[Diagnostics] are selected.
1. Laser lighting
2. Light source lighting
3. Humidity level inside of the interferometer
4. Fixed mirror piezo actuator voltage
5. Infrared power spectrum shape
6. Presence of Auto-sampler
7. Laser and light source usage time
• Items always checked while the IRAffinity-1 series is operating in Status window:
1. Laser lighting
2. Light source lighting
3. Humidity level inside the interferometer
4. Status of the beam switching kit
5. Presence of Auto-sampler
6. Presence of QuickStart accessory and its information

« Self Diagnostics during Initialization »
Selecting the [Initialize] on [Instrument] button initializes IRAffinity-1S and executes self diagnostics. The result of the self diagnostics is recorded on the operation log.
When the test item passes, OK is recorded on the log. If a item failed, Fail is recorded.

When the test item passes, OK is recorded on the log. If a item failed, Fail is recorded.
If "Laser lighting" or "Light source lighting" failed, each part must be replaced. Please contact a Shimadzu sales or service representative.
If the "Humidity level inside of the interferometer" failed, the humidity in the interferometer has become too high and the optical elements may be damaged.
1. Disconnect the power cord immediately and do not use your IRAffinity-1 series.
2. Remove the Top cover and replace silica gel packages. Click here for Replacement of Silica Gels
3. Then contact a Shimadzu sales or service representative.

Because "Infrared power spectrum shape" measures a power spectrum with no sample in the sample compartment, remove any samples and accessories from the sample compartment. If this test was failed by interrupting the beam, you can execute Self diagnostics after initialization. If this test was failed with empty sample compartment, confirm the scan parameters first. Then execute [Auto Adjust]. If the test is still failed after auto adjustment, the Beam splitter might be damaged.
