Install the FTRN Accessory
The Lubricant Analysis System includes a FTRN accessory and its custom baseplate designed to fit in the sample compartment of a Nicolet Summit X spectrometer. The baseplate fits over two alignment pins in the spectrometer sample compartment and is held in place by strong magnets.
To install the FTRN Accessory
- Install the iD Base Adapter baseplate with the attached slide-mount sample holder in the spectrometer sample compartment.
Once the two alignment holes in the baseplate line up with the alignment pins in the spectrometer sample compartment, the baseplate seats itself.
- Slide the flow-through cell into the slide-mount sample holder.
The cell does not ship with tubing attached as shown here. We explain how to attach tubing later in this document.

To remove the baseplate (with or without the FTRN accessory installed), grasp the slide-mount sample holder and lift the sample holder and baseplate straight up and off the spectrometer. Store the accessory and baseplate in a clean, dust-free environment such as its shipping box or a cabinet.
