1. Powering up the unit

1.1 Inserting the battery

The X-550 is battery operated. The battery is part of the bottom of the handle.

The battery is housed in the handle and forms the bottom of the

handle.

Insert the battery into the handle, until the connectors click into

place.

The battery is directional and keyed to only go in one way, so

don’t force it.

1.2 Turning on the unit

The on/off button is on the top of the unit.

Press it to turn the unit on.

2. Logging in

The factory-set name is admin.

The factory-set passcode is 12345.

The administrator can change this later on.

The X-Ray warning screen appears.

X-Rays can cause serious harm to people and animals!

Tapping OK on this screen means you understand that, and that

you will not use this XRF unit improperly.

The Analyze screen appears.

Tap Analyze to start your first analysis of a sample.

The screen listing the applications installed on your unit will

appear.

Tap the mode intended for the type of analysis you intend to do.

The rest of the screenshots in this QuickStart are

from the Alloy App.

3. Calibrating the unit

If this is the first time the unit is being used (or the first time the

unit being used for the day), the unit will need calibrating.

If calibration is required, the unit will automatically bring up the

Calibration window.

Place the 316 coupon that came with the unit on the nose.

If the coupon is not available, use a clean, known 316 steel

sample.

Make sure the 316 coupon completely covers the analysis

window

Tap Calibrate to begin the process.

Calibration takes 15 seconds.

1 of 15 means the first second of the 15 seconds of the

calibration.

When the calibration is successful, the Start screen appears.

Remove the coupon from in front of the aperture.

You can now use the instrument to test your samples.

If the calibration fails, an error message will be displayed.

Confirm the piece of 316 coupon is positioned correctly in front

of the window and retry the calibration.

If the calibration continues to fail, please contact SciAps

technical support at +1 339-927-9455

4. Taking a test

Align a sample with the window and tap START.

—OR—

Squeeze (and release) the trigger at the top of the handle.

The test will start.

Tests report findings in real time, so as the test continues and more information is obtained, the data

on the screen will be updated.

When the COMPLETED screen appears, the test is done and the final values are given.

5. Looking at Results

The top portion of the screen lists:

•

Test Number

•

Top Grade Match

•

Grade Match Score where 100 is a perfect score meaning

that all elements measured fit within the alloy grade

specification.

The first column on the left lists all detected elements. Scroll down

to see additional elements.

The second column is the concentration of that element.

The third column is the “confidence”or “uncertainty”of the

measurement.

The green column on the right is the Specifications column.

Specifications column lists the specification of the best alloy grade

match for the determined chemistry of the sample.

The grade specification will be highlighted in green if a detected

element is specified in the alloy grade and the amount detected is

within the grade’s specification.

In this example test, all elements found in the sample are in grade

316 and are within spec for that grade.

SciAps X-550 and X-505 QuickStart Guide

To see the complete information in the Specification column, tap

it.

The column will expand, showing the range of the spec for the

detected element for that grade.

In this test, all the detected elements are both found in SS 316,

and are within range for SS 316, so all the ranges are green.
