For information on how to determine if the radio is enabled, see page 30. Follow these safety precautions when performing a scan of a material that may be shock- or friction-sensitive: Scan the smallest possible amount of material (<300 µL, 1 drop, or less than 300 mg). Wear all necessary personal protective gear. Use caution when scanning shock- or frictionsensitive materials. CAUTION Shock- or friction-sensitive materials can pose a hazard of explosion if mishandled during the scanning process. Examples of materials known to be shock- and frictionsensitive include (but are not limited to) TATP, gunpowder, nitroglycerine, and match tips. Thermo Scientific TruDefender FT and TruDefender FTi User Guide 9 2 Scanning The Keys to Getting a Good Scan The FTIR light beam emerges from the center of the sampling tip. Because the beam can only penetrate a few microns into a sample, to get a good scan you must ensure that sample materials are in very close contact with the sampling tip. The keys to getting a good scan are: When scanning powders or solids, use the sample crusher or firmly press the instrument into the material. Center the sample material on the sampling tip. The Best Practices table (see page 11) shows proper positioning for the most common scanning situations. When possible, grind powders to a fine and even consistency. Whenever possible, use the sample crusher to scan powders. The sample crusher exerts the firm and constant pressure that is necessary to ensure good contact. TruDefender FT generally displays results in less than 30 seconds. Scans may be prolonged or may not finish if: • The sample material is not in close contact with the sampling tip. • The sample material interacts little or not at all with infrared light (for example, pure elements). TIP Dilute solutions will return a positive match for water because water strongly interacts with infrared light. Cleaning the Sampling Tip Before every background check, clean the sampling tip thoroughly. To clean the tip, scrub it with an alcohol wipe, then allow it to air dry, or wipe it with a clean paper towel or cloth. If the tip is visibly dirty, wipe off as much of the material as possible before scrubbing the tip with an alcohol wipe. 10 TruDefender FT and TruDefender FTi User Guide If the sampling tip is contaminated with an oily substance, scrub it with mineral spirits or paint thinner. TIP In very cold weather, liquid from the alcohol wipe may freeze on the sampling tip and cause inaccurate scan results. To prevent this, remove any frozen residue by scrubbing the sampling tip with a paper towel or cloth. Thermo Scientific 2 Scanning Best Practices for Scanning For this situation Do these things Puddled liquid Immerse the sampling tip in the puddle. The instrument may touch the underlying surface. At least 1/4 inch (6 mm) deep Non-volatile liquid in a container Stand the instrument on its bottom. Volatile liquid See “Scanning a Volatile Liquid” on page 17. Thinly spread film or droplets of liquid Saturate a swab with the liquid. Thinly spread paste Collect some of the paste on a swab. Place a drop of liquid on the sampling tip. Press the swab firmly on the center of the sampling tip. Press the swab firmly on the center of the sampling tip. Thermo Scientific TruDefender FT and TruDefender FTi User Guide 11 2 Scanning For this situation Do these things Powders If the powder is coarse, grind it to a fine and even texture. For best results, use the sample crusher (see page 16). If you cannot use the sample crusher, firmly press the sampling tip in contact with the powder. TIP Solids If possible, grind a powder until the granules are no larger than grains of table salt. If the material can be ground, grind it to a fine powder and scan it with the sample crusher (see page 16). If the material cannot be ground, press the sampling tip firmly into the material. NOTE To scan the inside of a coated tablet, scrape off the coating, finely grind the remaining material, and scan it with the sample crusher. To scan the coating, scrape it off and scan separately. 12 TruDefender FT and TruDefender FTi User Guide Thermo Scientific 2 Scanning Performing a Scan NOTE If you own a TruDefender FTi model, you can send scan results wirelessly via a cellular connection to an email or SMS address. For details, see page 29. Step 1 Choose a scanning technique (see the Best Practices table on page 11). See page 16 for guidelines on using the sample crusher. Press the Wake/Sleep key if the instrument is not powered up. The Main menu appears. TIP If you are using the sample crusher or holding the instrument upside down, press the Flip Screen key. Step 2 Press the Quick Scan key. The Background Check screen appears. Clean the sampling tip now (see page 10). Step 3 (Optional) Create a new session for the scan. Select Session > Create new session > press the Enter key. The New Session Name keyboard appears. Enter a new name or accept the default name. (For help with the keyboard, see page 17.) Thermo Scientific TruDefender FT and TruDefender FTi User Guide 13 2 Scanning Step 4 Select Go > press the Enter key. The instrument performs a background check. If the background has changed since the last scan, the instrument automatically performs a new background scan. NOTE Do not put the instrument in the sample crusher for the background check. During a background scan, the sampling tip must not be in contact with any sample material. Step 5 When the background check or the background scan finishes, the Position Unit screen appears. Place the sampling tip in contact with the sample (see the Best Practices table on page 11). If you are using the sample crusher, place a small amount of the test substance on the sampling platform, then insert the instrument (see page 16). Step 6 To start the scan, select Scan > press the Enter key. The Scan in progress screen appears. Hold the instrument steady during the scan. To monitor the progress of the scan, observe the progress bar on the bottom of the scan screen and the signal strength meter. The progress bar displays the estimated time to scan completion. When the scan finishes, the instrument displays a result (see page 19). TIP If the scan time is lengthy and the signal strength meter shows only a few or no bars, the sampling tip may not be in good contact with the sample, or the sample may not be scannable by FTIR. 14 TruDefender FT and TruDefender FTi User Guide Thermo Scientific 2 Scanning Reading the Activity Indicator Light • Blinking red: The instrument is not receiving any signal. The activity indicator light on the bottom of the instrument also indicates scan status: • Blinking yellow: The scan has just begun or the instrument is receiving adequate signal from the sample. • Solid green: The scan has successfully completed. • Solid red: The scan has stopped because of some error, or you pushed the Escape key to halt the scan. • Blinking green: The instrument is receiving strong signal from the sample. Speeding Scan Time by Restricting the Library Search During the analysis phase of a scan, the instrument normally searches the entire library to find the best match for the scan data. You can constrain this search to only factory-added library items or only user-added library items. In the Main menu, select Tools > press the Enter key. Select Libraries > press the Enter key. Select a display option > press the Enter key. Constraining the library search reduces scan time and is most useful when you are only interested in detecting the presence of particular user-added items. For information on creating user-added library items, see page 35. Thermo Scientific TruDefender FT and TruDefender FTi User Guide 15 2 Scanning Using the Sample Crusher DO NOT scan pressure-sensitive materials with the sample crusher (see page 9). CAUTION Place the sample crusher on a level surface. Clean the sampling platform with an alcohol wipe. Place a small amount of sample material in the center of the sample platform. Use only enough material to completely cover the center of the platform. Perform steps 1 through 5 of the scanning procedure (see page 13). Do not put the instrument into the sample crusher until the instrument has finished the background scan. Press the instrument into the sample crusher (see the figure at the left) until the side latches snap into place. If you have trouble inserting the instrument, you may need to clean the sample crusher (see page 42). Whenever possible, use the sample crusher to scan powders, because it is difficult to manually apply enough pressure to get a good scan. The sample crusher holds a powdered sample in firm and close contact with the sampling tip during the scan. TIP Initiate the scan (see step 6 on page 14). When finished, press the latches to release them, and remove the instrument. NOTE 16 TruDefender FT and TruDefender FTi User Guide To minimize the risk of dislodging the sample during insertion, hold the instrument at a slight angle on the front-to-back axis and insert the nose into the crusher, then straighten the instrument and push it down to complete the insertion. If the scan progresses slowly, remove the instrument and reinsert it into the sample crusher. If scan time does not improve, stop the scan, remove the instrument, and make sure that the sample is centered on the sample platform. Thermo Scientific 2 Scanning Scanning a Volatile Liquid Use the sample crusher to scan a volatile liquid. This will help prevent the liquid from evaporating before the scan is complete. Clean the sampling platform with an alcohol wipe, and place the sample crusher on a flat surface. Perform steps 1 through 4 of the procedure for performing a scan (see page 13). When the Position Unit screen appears, use a pipette to place drops of the liquid on the center of the sample platform. The liquid must completely cover the crystal tip in the center of the sample platform. Immediately place the instrument into the sample crusher (see page 16). It is not necessary to latch the sample crusher into place. Complete the scan (see step 6 on page 14). Remove the instrument from the sample crusher. Using the Keyboard The instrument displays a keyboard when you need to enter data into the system, such as a session name. To enter data into the keyboard • Enter data one character at a time. When finished, select Done > press the Enter key. • To enter a character, use the arrow keys to select the character > press the Enter key. • To enter a space, select the space bar > press the Enter key. • To backspace delete characters, select Delete > press the Enter key. • To enter a capital letter or a symbol, select Caps > press the Enter key, then select the character > press the Enter key.

Multiple Positive Match The data matches two or more library items, meaning that the sample could be any one of them. Mixture Match The data matches a mixture of library items. The percentages indicate the proportion of the data that matches the individual items. The percentages are not concentrations. The percentages will not add up to 100 if any of the data cannot be matched. Mixture identification is a complex analysis. It is more susceptible to false positives than the Single Positive or Multiple Positive results. 20 TruDefender FT and TruDefender FTi User Guide Thermo Scientific 3 Understanding Results Similar Item Match The data is similar to one or more library items. Be careful when interpreting this type of result! This screen does not mean that the listed substances are present, only that the data resembles them in some respects. Possible reasons for a Similar Item match include the following: • The sample is chemically interacting. • The substance does not produce detectable levels of signal or is not scannable. • Your scanning technique was improper for the situation, so the instrument could not collect enough data. Consult the Best Practices table (page 11) and repeat the scan. If this result persists, contact Thermo Fisher Scientific Customer Support. No Match The data did not match anything in the library, including mixtures of library items. The text on the No Match screen contains important information. Read it carefully. Possible reasons for a No Match result include the following: • The substance does not produce detectable levels of signal or is not scannable. • Your scanning technique was improper for the situation, so the instrument could not collect enough data. Consult the Best Practices table (page 11) and repeat the scan. If this result persists, contact Customer Support.

Thermo Scientific TruDefender FT and TruDefender FTi User Guide 41 6 Maintenance and Getting Help Cleaning the Instrument To remove nonhazardous contaminants from the outside of the instrument and the sample crusher, wipe them with a soft cloth moistened with water or isopropyl alcohol. If the instrument is contaminated with potentially hazardous substances, follow the instructions in “Decontaminating the Instrument and the Sample Crusher” on page 43. Cleaning the Sample Crusher Clean the sample crusher regularly, or whenever it becomes difficult to insert the instrument. Contaminants enter the sample crusher at its moving parts (the spring-loaded sampling platform and the latches) and eventually make it difficult to insert the instrument. A buildup of hardened accumulations in the recesses of the top of the sample crusher can also prevent instrument insertion. To clean the sample crusher, disassemble it and clean its parts with alcohol wipes, or with mineral spirits for oily contaminants. NOTE Soaking the sample crusher without disassembling it will not adequately clean its internal parts. 42 TruDefender FT and TruDefender FTi User Guide To disassemble the sample crusher Remove the sample crusher boot. Unscrew and remove the large nut in the bottom of the sample crusher and remove the spring. Push the sampling platform out. To remove the latches, insert a small tool in the holes on the back side of the crusher and push out the pins inside. To clean the sample crusher Scrub the sample platform top and rim, especially the crevices at the top and bottom of the black O-ring. Scrub the top of the sample crusher, especially the corner recesses. Scrub the hole that houses the spring. Wipe all other parts. Apply a small amount of a light lubricant to the O-ring. Reassemble the sample crusher. Thermo Scientific 6 Maintenance and Getting Help Decontaminating the Instrument and the Sample Crusher You may immerse the instrument and the disassembled sample crusher for up to 1 hour in either water or a solution of 1 part household bleach (5% sodium hypochlorite) and 10 parts water. Be sure to follow your organization’s decontamination guidelines. NOTE NOTE Before decontaminating the instrument, be sure to: • Press the Wake/Sleep key to put the instrument to sleep. • Close the battery compartment door and the access door, making sure that the access door gasket is fully seated and the door is locked in place (see page 6). • Disassemble the sample crusher (see page 42). If you need to perform a self test after decontaminating the sample crusher, make sure that the crusher is completely dry first. You may want to remove the instrument boot before decontamination. Although the boot fits tightly, contaminants may enter along its edges. To remove the boot, place your thumbs on either side of the boot at the bottom end of the instrument and push the boot off, then peel it away from the instrument. Rebooting the Instrument If the instrument becomes unresponsive, reboot it by turning it off, then on again. If the instrument still fails to reboot, contact Customer Support. NOTE If you are rebooting because you are experiencing problems with wireless transmission, see page 44. Recharging the Battery You can recharge the battery in two ways: • Connect the power cable to the instrument and plug it into an electrical outlet. The battery will automatically charge, even if the instrument is powered down. Charge time for a depleted battery is less than 4 hours. TIP • Insert the battery into the battery charger and plug the charger into an electrical outlet. The battery charger light changes from red to green when the battery is fully recharged. Thermo Scientific TruDefender FT and TruDefender FTi User Guide 43 6 Maintenance and Getting Help About the System Card The system memory card resides in a slot at the back of the battery compartment. The card holds the instrument software, chemical library, user-added library items, and stored scans. The system memory card does not hold any usermodifiable software or data. Do not remove the card unless instructed to do so by Customer Support. Troubleshooting Wireless Transmissions If you are having trouble sending wireless transmissions, try the following troubleshooting procedures: • Test your instrument’s connection to the TruDefender FTi servers (see below). • Try sending a different type of message. • Make sure that the radio power switch is on (see page 34). • Try sending a scan to a different contact. • Reboot the instrument. • Use the Wireless Options to manually disable and re-enable the radio (see page 34). • Contact Customer Support if none of these suggestions fix the problem. • If there are only a few or no reception bars, try moving to a different location. • Determine whether the instrument can find the carrier: Select Tools > Wireless Options > Cell Info. If the Network field says “Unknown,” the instrument cannot find the carrier. Reboot the instrument. Testing the Wireless Service If you are having difficulty sending messages, Customer Support may ask you to test your connection to the TruDefender FTi servers. 44 TruDefender FT and TruDefender FTi User Guide In the Main menu, select Tools > Wireless Options > press the Enter key.
