Reference Manual, S1 TITAN

1. Overview
1.1. Device Description
The S1 TITAN is a fully field portable analyzer based on energy dispersive XRF (EDXRF) technology
and uses an X-ray tube as its excitation source. The S1 TITAN measures elemental concentrations of
a sample. When energized, the device generates low-energy X-rays.

The instrument is factory calibrated, based on the customer ordered configuration. Calibrations are
available for various applications, such as:

 Alloy Analysis
 Mining Analysis
 RoHS Chemical Content
 Soil Contamination Analysis
 Lead and other Heavy Metals in Toys & Consumer Products
1.2. Safe Use
When the S1 TITAN is used properly, X-ray radiation from instrument poses no potential for harm to
the user or others. A properly trained user will use the S1 TITAN in a manner that eliminates or
minimizes the risk of unnecessary exposure to X-ray radiation.
Safe use of any XRF device is based on the principles of:
 Time – managing the amount of time during which X-rays are being produced by the instrument
 Distance – keeping all parts of the user’s body as far away from the X-ray producing nose as
possible, pointing the analyzer away from others, and keeping others away from the instrument
during use
 Shielding – ensuring that the S1 TITAN is mechanically intact and sound, and using the shielded
sample cup accessory when measuring physically small or unknown samples that might allow
unnecessary X-ray radiation to escape.

Collectively, these practices are known by the phrase “As Low as Reasonably Achievable” (ALARA).
Safe practice is further discussed during user training.

Users should never use the S1 TITAN for any purposes other than its intended use.

2. Radiation Safety
See Radiation Safety Manual for more details.

2.1. Radiation Profile


IEC 62495 (2011), Nuclear instrumentation – Portable X-ray fluorescence analysis equipment utilizing
a miniature X-ray tube, was used as a guide in establishing the S1 TITAN radiation profile. This
industry standard requires the measurement of stray radiation (leakage and scatter) be conducted
at 10, 30, and 100 cm distance from the surface of the XRF analyzer, with the analyzer set at the
maximum voltage and current established for analysis, with a standard material sample over the
examination window. Additionally, the geometric size of the X-ray beam and the open beam
radiation dose equivalent rates were recorded at the surface, 5, 10, 30, and 100 centimeters.

2.2. Stray Radiation


Stray radiation measurements were conducted using a Thermo micro-rem low energy plastic
scintillation radiation survey instrument. The survey meter was calibrated by the survey meter
manufacturer and measurements were taken referenced to the center of the detector volume. The
stray radiation profile reflects the radiological conditions during normal operation at the maximum
voltage and current settings. The provided readings are rounded up to the nearest 5 µRem/hr value.
Displayed isodistance contours show the maximum value that is likely to be encountered. The
readings (values in Rem/hour) in Figure 1 are taken at 50kV, 39 µA, and filter 1 (Al/Ti) settings with
a Duplex 2205 sample over the examination window. A radiation profile is measured on each
instrument before it leaves the factory.

2.3. Geometric Size of X-ray Beam


Figure 2 provides the primary beam geometric
shape and dimensions of the X-ray beam from
the examination window port. Table 1
provides specific diameter at selected
distances from the beam port.

100 cm 36.5 cm

2.4. X-ray Beam Radiation Dose Equivalent Rates


Measurement of the primary X-ray beam was conducting using a Victoreen (Fluke) Model 470A ion
chamber at a reference distance of 30 cm. The Rad/h results were multiplied by the deep and
shallow dose factors of 0.79 (deep) and 1.10 (shallow) for the NIST H30 beam code. See Table 2 for
the open beam dose equivalent rate levels.

2.5. Do’s and Don’t’s


 Prior to using the S1 TITAN,
read the Bruker document
030.0011, Radiation Safety
Manual.
 Be aware of the direction that
the X-rays travel before
pulling the trigger.
 Do not place any part of your
body (especially the eyes or
hands) near the examination Do not place hands near nose of device while in operation!
area during measurement.
 Do not hold a sample to the window for analysis by hand. Instead, hold the window to the sample.
 The infrared (IR) sensor located on the nose is designed to prevent the emission of X-rays in the
absence of an object.
 Do not defeat the IR sensor in order to bypass the safety circuit. Defeating this safety feature could
result in unnecessary exposure of the operator. Occasionally, a sample may not be reflective enough
to trigger the IR sensor. In these cases, place a piece of white paper or other reflective material
between the sample and IR sensor.
 Use the optional safety shield or benchtop stand accessory for testing small or thin samples or low-
density materials, such as plastic, wood, soil, paper, or ceramics.
 Wear an appropriate dosimeter if required by a regulatory agency when operating the analyzer.
 Pregnant women should be aware that improper handling or improper use of the instrument could
result in radiation exposure.
 The operator is responsible for the security of the analyzer. When in use, the device should be in the
operator's possession at all times.
 Do not allow anyone other than trained personnel to operate the analyzer.
 Always store the instrument in a secure location when not in use.
 During transport to and from the field, store the instrument in a cool, dry location.
 In the event that the analyzer is damaged, even if the analyzer remains operable, immediately
contact Bruker Elemental at (800) 466-5323 or (509) 783-9850 or [email protected]
for assistance.
 If you suspect the analyzer is damaged, remove the battery pack and disconnect all power sources.
 In the event the analyzer is lost or stolen, immediately notify the appropriate regulatory agency in
the state or country in which the device was located. Additionally, notify local law enforcement
authorities and Bruker Elemental at (800) 466-5323 or (509) 783-9850 or hhservice@bruker-
elemental.net.
 Maintain records to keep track of all instruments owned, the operators assigned to use them, and
the locations they were used. Include records of the storage, removal, and transport of the analyzer.
Know its whereabouts at all times.
 Never remove labels from the analyzer.
 Comply with all instructions and labels provided with the device.
 Only sell or transfer the analyzer to persons registered to receive it.

Reference Manual, S1 TITAN

2.6. Transportation Requirements


Check with your local regulatory agency prior to transporting or shipping an analyzer. Generally, you
must notify the local regulatory agency at least two weeks in advance of intent to transport and use
the instrument in that locale.
When transferring control or ownership of the analyzer, the owner must verify that the recipient is
authorized to receive the analyzer. No verification is required when returning it to Bruker Elemental,
the original manufacturer.
For travel or shipment within the U.S., there are no special Department of Transportation (DOT)
interstate travel and shipping regulations. All batteries meet the requirements of 49CFR § 173.185
and IATA Packing Instruction 968, part 1, special provision A88, A99, A154, A164, for shipping as
“normal cargo.” The analyzer may be shipped using any available means. If the user is flying, it is
recommended that the device be checked through due to possible concerns about the X-ray unit in
the main cabin.

2.7. Certifications
The S1 TITAN was tested by TUV SUD against safety requirements of IEC 61010-1, “Safety
Requirements for Electrical Equipment for Measurement, Control, and Laboratory user, Part I
General Requirements,” and complies with EN61326, 61000-3-2, 61000-3-3; FCC Part 15 Class B; and
2006/95/CE and 2004/108/CE.

2.8. Registration/Licensing
See Bruker Document 030.0050, Registration and Licensing FAQ, for information on how to register
and/or license your analyzer.

2.9. Safety Features


The S1 TITAN is designed with a fail-safe safety system to prevent unsafe operation of the analyzer.

Primary Power Switch


A push-button main power switch controls power to all components. The switch must be activated
before any other actions can be initiated. When power is activated, the switch turns green.

Password Protection
Once the instrument has initialized, the user is prompted to enter a password. The analyzer will
neither operate nor generate X-rays without the password being entered.

Software X-ray Radiation Warning


Once the password is successfully entered, a splash screen displaying an X-ray radiation warning
symbol ( ) and a text warning are displayed. Pull and release trigger to continue.

030.0058.04.3 9 of 41
Reference Manual, S1 TITAN

Infrared (IR) Proximity Sensor


The IR proximity sensor senses when an object is within range of the examination window. X-rays
cannot be generated if the sensor is not detecting an object. The supervisor may disable this
feature. See Section 9.4 , page 21.
Operator Trigger Interlock
X-rays are generated when the trigger is pulled. When using the manual trigger setting, the trigger,
which is spring-loaded, must be continuously squeezed during measurements. If the switch is
inadvertently released, the spring mechanism will return the switch to its idle position and stop X-
ray generation.
Auxiliary Trigger (Optional)
The auxiliary trigger, available as an option, requires both triggers to be activated before X-rays are
generated.
Minimum Backscatter Detection
The count-rate is continuously monitored during each measurement. If the count-rate drops below
the allowable threshold (as it would be in the absence of a sample), the safety circuit will shut down
X-ray generation, minimizing potential exposure.
Red X-ray Warning Lights
When the trigger is pulled and the infrared sensor is engaged, the red lamps along the side of the
instrument and beneath the screen will illuminate, indicating the generation of X-rays. The lamp
incorporates redundant LED elements for increased reliability. If any of the red LED elements fail, X-
rays cannot be generated.
X-ray Buzzer (optional)
When the trigger is activated, an audible alarm will alert the operator and those nearby to the
potential for exposure.
Operator Time-Out
If the analyzer remains idle for a period greater than 5 minutes, the program will require the
operator to log back in. Upon login, the previous session will be restored. The supervisor may
disable this feature. See Safety, Auto Log Out, page 22.
Warning Labels
Safety-warning labels identify the analyzer as a radiation producing instrument. The manufacturers’
plate mounted under the analyzer housing near the handle contains regulatory information. Labels
should not be tampered with or removed.

In the event of an emergency, disconnect power source and remove battery from instrument.

3.1. Instrument components

3.2. Power Sources


AC Adapter
To operate the analyzer using the optional AC adapter, connect the AC Adapter to a 90-240V AC wall
outlet with the supplied cord. Connect the AC adapter to the analyzer’s power port.

Batteries
The analyzer is supplied with two Lithium Ion (Li-ion) batteries (P/N 160.0009) and one battery
charger (P/N 160.0010). Use only the provided battery charger to charge batteries.

The analyzer may be connected to the AC adapter prior to removing the battery so that power to
the unit won’t be lost.

To remove a battery pack, push the front of the battery cover, depress the battery lock and pull the
cover down, and then pull down on the battery. Insert a charged battery into the handle until it
snaps into place. Do not force the battery into the handle.

Proper Care of Batteries

General Battery Warnings


 Do not disassemble, crush, or puncture a battery.
 Do not place a battery in fire or water.
 Do not charge a battery except with the supplied charger.
 Do not short the battery terminals.
 Do not put batteries in the trash.
Disposal of Batteries
Contact local waste management regarding disposal and recycling programs. Bruker will accept used
batteries from its products. If a battery fails to operate normally within the battery’s warranty
period, return it to Bruker for evaluation and disposal.

3.3. Optional Setup


Desktop configuration
For applications requiring a more static workspace or for analysis
of smaller samples, the analyzer may be configured to operate as
a desktop analyzer through the use of the optional Desktop Stand
(Figure 3).

The stand is comprised of four parts: the foot, the post, the table,
and the lid. Place the handle of the analyzer through the slot in
the post, the set the back end of the analyzer in the foot. Slide Figure 3
the table onto the post, ensuring that the IR sensor and
examination window appear through the slot in the table. Place
the lid on the hinge to complete the setup. We recommended
using the Bruker Remote Control Software when using the
instrument in this configuration.

Background Plate
The Background Plate (Figure 4) is specially made to provide a Figure 4
neutral background when analyzing small samples, eliminating
interference from other materials behind or around the sample. The plate also absorbs X-rays,
providing additional safety from X-rays that might otherwise penetrate a desk, table, or other
surface.

Reference Manual, S1 TITAN

Some of the S1 Titan software features are available only when in Supervisor Mode. The screen shots used in
this section are Supervisor Screens. Some of the buttons will not appear when in User Mode. Features
available only in Supervisor Mode are marked with the following icon:

5. The Main Menu: Application Button


The Main Menu (Figure 7) includes the Application button. Depending on the instrument configuration,
you may be able to select from a menu of applications
which determine how the instrument is intended to be used
and create predetermined settings. These settings establish
different voltage, current, and filter settings. Available
applications vary based on the purchased configuration,
and can include standard alloys, restricted materials,
mining, precious metals and other special applications.
Once an application is selected, its name will appear on the
Application Button. Whenever the application is changed, Figure 7
the instrument will default to the last used settings for each
application. For most operations, once an Application and
Method have been selected, the correct instrument settings will be selected automatically.

6. The Main Menu: Method Button


The instrument is equipped to analyze a sample using a variety of calibrations, or Methods. The
instrument can choose a method Automatically, or you can choose specific methods Manually.

Figure 8
6.1. Automatic Calibration Selection (checkbox)
If checked, the instrument will automatically select the appropriate method for the chosen
application.

030.0058.04.3 14 of 41
Reference Manual, S1 TITAN

6.2. Manual Selection


Uncheck the Automatic Calibration Selection box to see available methods (Figure 8). Select the
method that best fits your measurement needs. Available methods are linked to the selected
Application Type. Selected Method will appear on the Method Button on the Main Screen.

6.3. Coefficients
Tap the Coefficient button (Figure 8) to open the list of available coefficient sets. Tap the set you
want to use, then tap OK. For more information on Coefficients, see Section 14.

7. The Main Menu: Settings Button


Define trigger behavior and Dual Mode phase times by selecting
Settings (Figure 9). By default, the phase (measurement) time is
Unlimited and the trigger setting is Manual, which allows the
analysis to continue as long as the trigger is pulled and safety
criteria are satisfied.

7.1. Phase Settings


Some samples contain critical light elements and are
difficult to quantify with a 40 or 45kV source. Many
calibrations operate in two phases: the first phase uses a Figure 9
higher voltage for a preset time (generally, five seconds), and then drops to a lower voltage and
continues analysis until the trigger is release or the measurement concludes.

To manually set the length of each Phase, uncheck Use Default Settings, and then set each phase
duration. Check Unlimited to continue the analysis at that voltage until the trigger is released or
safety criteria fail.

If Unlimited duration is selected for Phase 1, the instrument will NOT use Phase 2. If a method does
not use dual phases, the 2nd phase will be grayed out. To disable the 2nd phase, set the duration
at 0.

7.2. First Result


You may manually set the time before the First Result will display and record. This assures that
results from shorter, less accurate test times will not be displayed or recorded.

7.3. First Test


You may manually set the time before the First Test will display and record. Tests compare the assay
to a table or library entry, generally giving a pass/fail identification. Longer test times tend to be
more accurate. First Test settings must always be as long as or longer than First Results times.

Reference Manual, S1 TITAN

7.4. Activate Beep


This feature toggles on/off the audible alarm that alerts the user that a grade match has been found.

7.5. Trigger Options


By default, the analyzer will run unlimited measurements (i.e., it will continue to collect data as long
as the trigger is pulled and safety criteria are satisfied).

Manual Trigger Active – The trigger must be depressed completely to take a measurement. The
measurement will continue for the set measurement duration or until the trigger is released or
safety criteria are disturbed.

Auto Trigger Active – The trigger is pulled and released to begin the analysis. Analysis time is
controlled by the Phase Durations. The measurement can be stopped at any time by pulling and
releasing the trigger again.

have an assay less than the limits of detection. The LOD is defined as n*Standard Deviation. Select
the Number of Decimals to show in the results, and the Standard Deviation STD Limit (number of
standard deviations to on the Results screen). Values of 1 to 5 are allowed. This value is referred to
as “n” throughout this User Guide. The error displayed with an assay is n times the standard
deviation (n*STD). If the assay is less than n*STD, the assay will be reported as <LOD.

Select Grade ID Settings


Select Grade ID
Settings (Figure 16)
and select from the
following:

 Use Color
Coding and
Grade Limits in Figure 16
the Results.
When enabled, the elements will be color coded, based on their assay vs. the grade definition.
If the assay is within the limits, the element will be colored Green. If the assay is outside the
limits but within the limits +/- n*Standard Deviation (STD), the element will be colored Yellow.
If the assay is outside the limits +/- n*STD, the element will be colored Red. If Tramp\Residual
processing is enabled and the element is not defined in the grade, but the assay is greater than
the Tramp\Residual limit for the element, the element will be colored Red.

030.0058.04.3 18 of 41
Reference Manual, S1 TITAN

 Enable Tramp/Residual Element Processing. When enabled, the assay of elements that are not
defined in the Grade Definition will be compared to the Tramp\Residual maximum allowed for
the alloy class. The Tramp\Residual table contains the maximum allowed concentration for
each element, separated by alloy class. If the assay is less than the value in the Tramp\Residual
table, the element will be displayed with the notation <TR and not considered in the calculation
of the Grade Match Number. If the assay is greater than the maximum value allowed in the
Tramp\Residual table, it is displayed with the notation >TR and colored Red and considered in
the calculation of the Grade Match Number.

 Enable Nominal Chemistry Processing. When enabled and the Grade Definition in the grade
table indicates that it contains nominal chemistry, the midpoint of the range of each light
element (e.g. Mg-S) will be reported and highlighted in Blue. The error column will contain the
notation NOM to indicate that the assay was not measured, but was taken from the Grade
Definition. Nominal Processing is only performed while the instrument is operating in Phase 1.

 Display Multiple Alloy Grades. By default, only the first matching grade is displayed in Results.
When this feature is enabled, multiple grades (up to 3) will be displayed if the difference in the
Grade Match Number is less than the Threshold set in Multiple Grade Display Threshold.

 Select the Grade Display Threshold. This value determines how close the Grade Match
Number must be for multiple grades to be displayed.

 Select the Match Quality Threshold. This value is the threshold for Grade Match Number. If the
value of a Grade Match Number is > Match Quality Threshold, the Grade ID is displayed. If the
Grade Match Number for all alloys in the Grade Table are less than the Match Quality
Threshold, No Match is displayed.

13.2. Averaging
You can choose to average several results by
selecting Averaging from the Results Screen
(Figure 28), and then checking Enable
Averaging. Select either the Default setting to
average a set number of results, or User
Selected to manually select the results to use in

that result in the average.

The averaged results are saved in Results list and Results.CSV file. Grade Matching and Pass/Fail
analysis is done for Average result. The Index numbers of averaged results are listed on results
screen and Results.CSV file.

Averages are calculated for both elements and +/- values. If an element is missing from one of the
averaged results, the value is considered to be 0.

14. Type Standardization (Coefficients)


The use of coefficients will change the factory calibration. Incorrectly set coefficients
will lead to erroneous analysis results!

Coefficients (Figure 29) enables Type Standardization by adjusting factory calibrations. Coefficients enable
the user to fine tune methods by setting up offset and slope corrections. This feature is intended for
mining and specialty applications where site specific or sample
specific calibration optimization is required.

Generally, coefficients should not be used for standard alloy


application. Coefficients are specific to selected method and are
applied only to selected method or method group.

Multiple coefficient sets can be saved for each calibration, which


in practice makes it possible to create “sub-calibrations” for
different sample types. Once a coefficient set has been defined
for a specific method, it will be applied to that method in all Figure 29
instances when the method is used.

Coefficient sets are then applied to the final measurement result of specific element and can contain slope
and offset correction for multiple elements. It is possible to create and save multiple coefficient sets to
one calibration method, but only one coefficient set can be active at a time. Once a coefficient set has

030.0058.04.3 27 of 41
Reference Manual, S1 TITAN

been activated, the adjusted results are reported on the results screen and in Results.CSV file. The original,
uncorrected results are not saved.

To adjust Coefficients for Type Standardization, tap the Method Button, and uncheck the Automatic
Calibration Selection box. Select the Method being modified. Tap the Coefficient button. Tap the
Coefficient Name field to access the keyboard, and give the new Coefficient a name (when using the
keyboard, it is helpful to use a stylus). Tap OK to close the keyboard. Select an element of interest and tap
on the Slope column. Using the keyboard, enter a slope value. Repeat for the offset value in the Offset
column. Check the Normalize box to adjust the results to equal 100 percent. Save your new coefficient
and return to the Main Screen.

Determining Slope and Offset


Multiple samples (with a minimum of three) should be used to define correct Slope and/or Offset
correction for reliable results. If only a simple Offset or Slope correction is required, the value can
be determined without calculation.

Examples:
 If the result are always relative 10% too low, the slope coefficient is 1.1
 If results are always absolute 0.3% too high, the offset coefficient is -0.3
Whenever the relation between the measured values and the reference values (expected correct
values) is more complicated, it is recommended that you use multiple samples to determine
Coefficients and to use the Excel sheet (available from Bruker Elemental) to determine both Slope
and Offset values for each element that needs adjustment.

Note
• Coefficients allows you to fine-tune analytical results by using either Slope or Offset correction
or both.
• Coefficients are applied to the final measurement result of specific element.
• It is possible to create and Save multiple Coefficient sets to one calibration method, but only
one coefficient set can be active at the time.
• Offset correction adjusts elemental result with the same absolute Offset value.
• Example 1 (Ni Offset 1.5): Original result: Ni:10%
•  Corrected result: 11.5% (10 + 1.5)
• Slope correction adjusts elemental result by multiplying it with the Slope factor.
• Example (Ni Slope 1.1): Original result: Ni:10%
•  Corrected result: 11% (10 * 1.1)
• Slope and Offset correction
• Example (Ni offset 1.5 & slope 1.1): Original result: Ni: 10%
•  Corrected result: 12.5% (1.5 + (10 * 1.1)) = 12.5

The batteries must be charged before using the Dual XGPS 150A. This can be
done with the supplied power supply or from a computer using a USB cable.

After pairing and selecting the Dual XGPS 150A (see Appendix F), a small icon
with the letters GPS will appear in the status bar at the top of the TITAN
screen. If the icon shows a red circle with a slash, the GPS is connected, but

Appendix G Barcode Reader


Installing Batteries

Install the batteries and charge the Socket CHS 7Ci according to the instructions in the User Guide.

Selecting the SPP mode

Before pairing the Socket CHS 7Ci with the TITAN instrument, you must scan the barcode below. This puts
the Socket CHS 7Ci in the mode needed to interact with the TITAN instrument (SPP Mode). The TITAN will
not recognize the other (HID) mode.

Note 1: Make sure the CHS is not connected to a host or device before scanning a command barcode.

Note 2: To use the scanner on multiple hosts, perform the unpair sequence (Power on the CHS. Press
and hold down the trigger button. Press and hold down the power button. After you hear 3
beeps, release both buttons. The CHS will disconnect and automatically power off). The next
time you power on the CHS, it will be discoverable.

Note 3: Print out sheet before scanning, do not scan barcode onscreen!

The Socket CHS User Guide has other Command Barcodes, (e.g., to stop the beeping). Refer to product’s
user guide for more information.

Barcode Tests

Note: Print out sheet before scanning, do not scan barcode onscreen.

The Socket CHS 7Ci must be on before entering the keyboard dialog. This has two consequences: one, if
the barcode reader is not on, but is selected, there will be a slight delay when switching to the
keyboard dialog; two, you must exit and reenter the dialog to use the barcode reader.

Appendix H Changing Windows


To change the protective window on the S1 TITAN, carefully unscrew the nosepiece using the supplied
screwdriver.

Peel the old window off. Do not put anything into the instrument aperture as this may damage the
detector.

Peel the white backing off the new window and carefully apply it to the nose. Ensure the alignment
arrows are centered over the middle of the aperture and that there are no wrinkles in the window.

Peel off the clear front protective cover.

Replace the nosepiece. Do not over-tighten the screws.
