Description
This Mettler Toledo ReactiR iC10 w FTIR Spectrometer System was removed from a university lab where it was surplus to requirements.
We had the system inspected by a qualified engineer who reported the following;
They tested the FTIR instrument using the IC IR Software loaded on the Laptop which came with it.
The system powered on in a normal way but they couldn't get any signal (the signal level is zero). A warning notification appeared on the screen to say the system is misaligned. Scanning the background came up with too many velocity scan errors/velocity warnings which led to the failure of the scan and data was not saved accordingly.
They took off the fibre optic assembly and The MCT detector with the pre-amplifier to access the interferometer and check the components. The laser and laser detector is working fine and it guides the Michaelson interferometer at the right rate. The ZnSe beam splitter looks fine.
The IR Source (SiC source) hot spot is not centric and tends to be on one side. This may be due to the fact that the emitted light is taken from the side of the so housing. No indication of the flip of the polarity of the source each 15 min. A silicon oxide layer has developed on the source and they have tried to remove it as much as they can.
A MCT detector required liquid Nitrogen for cooling, they have switched to the DTGS detector to run the scan but even with that, it hasn't got any signal.
They expect one of the two reasons for the no signal issue is that either the system misaligned or the maiiboard is not detecting any signal from these two detectors. To exclude the misalignment reason they have moved the source in various directions but there is no indication of the change in the signal level. So most likely the main board has an issue with the signal processing.
It is sold for spare/repairs.
