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.

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.

8.1. Grade ID
Grade ID compares the assay to Grade IDs recorded in a library. If no library sample matches, the results
will return as NO MATCH and only the assay’s composition will be shown.
030.0058.04.3 16 of 41
Reference Manual, S1 TITAN
Figure 11
The Grade Pass/Fail Results Screen (Figure 12) returns results as Pass
(green), Fail (red), or Inconclusive (yellow), as well as the GradeID that
matches the sample, and the length of time the sample was shot. The screen
shows all identified elements from the sample, the accepted range for the
element from the grade matches, and the error. Elements that belong to the
Grade ID will be color coded, showing which elements match the library
sample. Tap the column heading to sort each column.
Figure 12
The Limits Test Results Screen (Figure 14) will turn Green to
indicate that the sample passes (i.e., is Figure 13
below the set limit), Yellow to indicate
that the match is inconclusive, or Red to indicate that the sample fails. Each
element will also display with colors to indicate if they are within the
acceptable range. The Pass and Fail columns show the established limits.
Limits may be in either parts per million (PPM) or percentage (%). See
Section 8.5 for instructions on how to change the limits.

8.4. None
Select None when you only want to receive an analysis of a sample without any comparison. The
Results Screen will show the Index Number, date and time of the assay, length of time of the assay,
and all detected elements and their percentage or PPM and its error.
Enable the LOD (Limit of Detection) Display to include elements in Results that were analyzed but
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.
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.
Display User Field. Display the value of the first user field in the results screen. See Section

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
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.
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.
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.
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

16. USB
Large drives may take longer to be recognized. Avoid using drives larger than those recommended by
Bruker.
Powering on the analyzer with a thumb-drive installed will noticeably increase boot times.
Powering on the analyzer with a USB connection to the PC may cause the analyzer to be identified
incorrectly by the host computer.
The quality of the USB cable can significantly influence USB transfers. Use those cables recommended
by Bruker wherever possible.
New USB thumb-drives may contain files and programs included by the manufacturer of the drive. It
is not necessary to keep these files/programs. Use them at your own risk.
USB thumb-drives used in interoffice environments can spread viruses. Although virus code is not
specifically written to function on the analyzer, it is not clear if they can be stored or host a virus,
thus facilitating their spread. Thumb-drives included with the analyzer are new and guaranteed to be
virus-free from the manufacturer. Bruker recommends that PCs used with the analyzer have up-to-
date antivirus software installed.
Software firewalls may block attempts to connect the analyzer to a PC. You may need to temporarily
disable firewalls, and add the analyzer to the allowed exceptions list. Refer to your firewall’s user

If remaining adhesive needs to be removed, apply a small amount of isopropyl alcohol to a lint free cloth
and gently clean around the aperture. Avoid inserting anything into the detector chamber.
If dust and dirt collects on the exterior of the analyzer, first use compressed air to remove the bulk,
followed by a damp, lint-free cloth. Avoid using harsh solvents.
The touch screen uses sensitive electronics and should be cleaned regularly using a soft, lint-free or
microfiber cloth. Do not use detergents or liquid cleansers as they may scratch the screen.
Maintenance
The S1 TITAN, when used properly, should require very little maintenance beyond window replacement
and battery recharging.

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

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.
