Our VRAY Electronic Gold Testers operate on X-ray Fluorescence (XRF) principles, emitting X-rays to excite sample atoms, which then emit unique secondary X-rays. A high-resolution detector measures their energy and intensity for precise elemental identification and concentration. VRAY boasts superior accuracy, reaching 0.01% for 9999 gold (VR-S7), 0.05% (VR-M5), and 0.1% (VR-X3). Beyond machine wear, environment, operation, and item factors, accuracy is professionally impacted by:
Calibration: Quality and frequency using certified reference materials.
Matrix Effects: Absorption/enhancement by co-existing elements.
Spectral Overlaps: Interference from closely spaced X-ray peaks.
Detector Resolution: The detector's inherent ability (e.g., VRAY's SDD/Si-Pin) to separate signals.
Sample Geometry: Non-ideal sample thickness or surface irregularities affecting X-ray interaction.
These elements require sophisticated instrument design and software algorithms for optimal performance.
Power On: Initiate the machine's power, then launch the accompanying software.
Preheat Instrument: Allow the instrument to preheat for the recommended 10 minutes to ensure stable operation.
Calibrate: Place the designated calibration sample in the detection area for precise instrument calibration. This step is crucial for accuracy.
Place Sample: After successful calibration, carefully place your sample within the designated detection area.
Start Test: Ensure the machine cover (protective door) is tightly closed, then press the "start" button to begin the analysis.
Await Results: The preliminary analysis result typically appears in 3 seconds, with the complete, final analysis result available in 30 seconds.
Print/Save Report: Once the test is completed, select the "Print" icon. You can choose to print an A4 report or use a Bluetooth thermal printer. Alternatively, you may opt to save the report digitally without immediate printing.

Properly operating your Electronic Gold Tester is crucial for accurate results and user safety. Adhering to strict safety protocols and avoiding improper actions prevents X-ray exposure, equipment damage, data inaccuracies, and costly repairs, ensuring reliable performance.
Category | Action / Risk Summary |
---|---|
Safety Door | Close tightly. Open = X-ray leakage. |
Daily Protocol | Preheat & calibrate daily. |
Power | Use regulated supply/UPS. Fluctuations = damage/crash. |
Environment | Keep dry, clean, ventilated. Poor conditions = overheating/malfunction. |
Settings | Follow manual; no private changes. Unauthorized = data distortion. |
Detector | Never touch window. Damage = high repair cost. |
Testing Process | Don't move sample/open door during test. Leads to failure/exposure. |
Maintaining your Electronic Gold Tester is key to its longevity and peak performance. Daily, wipe the outer shell and test window to prevent dust and ensure clarity. Regularly clean fans and vents to prevent overheating. Maintain room temperature between 15-30°C and humidity below 70%, avoiding direct sunlight. Always use a voltage stabilizer or UPS for stable power, and avoid prolonged high-load use, allowing for regular cooling breaks.
