    OPERATING PROCEDURE FOR POWDER MODE

    I. PROCEDURE FOR STARTING MACHINE & RUNNING TEST

    1. Switch on the main power MCB.

    2. Switch on the UPS and wait until green light appears.

    3. Switch on the Chiller MCB.

    4. Turn on 3 switches for plugged-in points behind Rigaku instrument (to start

    computer, instrument etc.)

    5. Power on XRD machine by pressing GREEN coloured button on Rigaku

    instrument.

    6. Check if the High Voltage Enable Key is in horizontal position. If it is vertical,

    turn the key clockwise to make it horizontal.

    7. Insert sample and press the door lock button to lock the door.
    8. Double-click the MiniFlex icon on the desktop to start the software. You will

    see following dialog box. Wait for few seconds until this message and other

    pop-up messages disappear.

    9. If machine was used previously on the same day, proceed to step 11. But if you

    10. Select Generator Usage from drop-down depending on previous use of the

    machine (e.g. if machine was used previous day, select Use everyday). Click

    on Execute.

    11. Select Control XG Control.


    12. Switch ON X-Ray. A pop-up will appear on top left of screen. Wait until X-

    Ray is switched on and the pop-up disappears. Then Close XG Control dialog

    box.

    13. Select 1 General Measurement. In General Measurement window, Browse for

    folder where you want to save your data and specify the File name and Sample

    name. Then select Set Meas. Conditions.

    Browse
    14. In the Set Meas. Conditions window, specify Start Angle, Stop Angle, Step and

    Speed. (If necessary, change Voltage & Current which are usually 30V and 10

    mA respectively)

    Click OK. Window will close.


    15. In MiniFlex main window, Click Run to start the test.

    16. Before starting next test, click Close from the File menu to avoid overlap of

    new test result with previous one.


    II. PROCEDURE FOR MACHINE SHUT DOWN AFTER TEST

    1. Go to Control XG Control. Change the Voltage to 20 V and Current to 2 mA.

    Then Switch OFF X-Ray.

    2. File Exit the MiniFlex main window.

    3. Switch off XRD machine by pressing white coloured button on Rigaku

    instrument.

    4. Turn off 3 switches for plugged-in points behind Rigaku instrument (to power

    off computer, instrument etc.)

    5. Wait for 5 minutes.

    6. Switch off Chiller MCB.

    7. Switch off UPS.

    8. Switch off main MCB.
