Daily Start Up Procedure
The automatic Start Up cycle is designed to prime the flow system and
run background counts whenever the STANDBY or INITIALIZED
message appears in the Status Box on the Data Station RUN Screen. The
cycle takes approximately 3.5 minutes and is activated by pressing the
[RUN] or [PRIME] key. (The [PRIME] key will be displayed instead of
the [CLEAR ORIFICE] key if the instrument goes into STANDBY
while in the RUN screen.)
Before beginning this procedure, ensure that power to all components is ON.
The power to the Analyzer should always be ON.

panel is illuminated in green and the READY message is displayed
