DAILY CHECKS
Perform the following steps daily if radioisotope activity
measurements are to be taken.
The Self-Test is automatically initiated at power-up. Because
the Atomlab 100 is capable of using multiple chamber units,
the Self-Test on this system checks to see if more than one
chamber is in use. This results in approximately a 20-second
delay from power-up to the start of the test. If only one
chamber is connected to the display unit the Self-Test will
automatically resume and, providing no errors are detected,
the unit will advance to its normal operating mode. If any
faults are detected, refer to Ap pen dix A or the Atomlab Dose
Calibrator Trouble-shooting Guide.
If two or more chambers are connected to your Atomlab 100,
the system must be programmed to initialize each chamber
as explained in the following procedure.
1) With the Atomlab turned OFF, turn the switch box dial to
chamber one.
2) Reach behind the display unit and flip the Power Switch to the
ON position. Allow the unit to complete the standard Self-Test.
3) Press SETUP. The SETUP LED should come ON.
4) Press TEST three times in succession. The message CH-
1 will be displayed in the Electronic Thumbwheel display.
5) Using the ETD ⇑ and ⇓ arrow keys, enter the total number
of chambers connected to the display.
6)Press TEST twice.
7) Press SETUP. The system should now be in standard
operating mode. The SETUP LED should be OFF.
8) Turn the switch box dial to the next chamber (#2) and repeat
steps three through seven. Do this for each chamber connect-
ed to the display.
