Technical Infos

trinamiX PAL One is a portable NIR spectrometer designed for on-site material analysis, such as identifying plastic types or analyzing nutrient content in feed.

Design and ergonomics: Compact, easy-to-use, with a centrally positioned button for enhanced comfort and control.
Durability: IP65-rated, dust and water-resistant for use in harsh environments.
Measurement principle: Uses near-infrared (NIR) light reflection to analyze molecular composition. Data is sent via Bluetooth to a smartphone app for real-time results.
Calibration: Includes an integrated reference standard for accurate measurements, protected by a snap-on cover.

Spare Parts

The spectrometer includes two on-site replaceable spare parts: the reference standard and the lamp module. To purchase a spare part, please contact your sales representative or reach out to our customer service team. customerservice@trinamix.de

To learn how to replace spare parts yourself, please refer to the instructions below or download the corresponding manuals.

The reference standard is a crucial part and should be replaced if it becomes dirty or if it is damaged.

You can order a new reference standard via our support team.

The lamp has a lifetime of up to 250,000 scans.

1. Open the spectrometer

Ensure the device is turned off. Hold the spectrometer body in one hand with the specimen interface facing you. With your other hand, rotate the spectrometer head (1) counterclockwise until it is fully opened (2).

2. Replace the lamp module

Carefully loosen the existing lamp module by lifting it up (the module is only connected via a 2-pole header connector) (1). Take the new lamp module from the packaging and attach it in the same direction as the old module (2).

3. Inspect spectrometer and O-ring

Before closing the spectrometer, inspect the lamp module and optical filter to ensure they are free from dust, dirt, fingerprints, and other contaminants. Additionally, check the O-ring in the head for any damage, abrasion, brittleness, or improper fit that could compromise the seal. Replace the O-ring if needed.

However, reducing this frequency may affect the accuracy of your results. We recommend to calibrate your spectrometer every hour.

You can measure when being offline, but the results are calculated in the cloud, so you need to get internet connection to see the measurement results.

The scan window is made of sapphire and thus quite scratch resistant with Moh’s1 hardness of 9. For comparison: a diamond has a Moh hardness of 10, steel of 4.5.

Yes, PAL One complies with the product class IP65 and are therefore classified as protected against dust and water jets. Please note: the USB charger of PAL One is designed for indoor use only (dry location).
