3.4 Operation
• Switch on the instrument. The green LED (power on) indicates the
instrument is ready
• Make sure the L-shaped plate positioner is correctly set as described in
chapter 2.4
• Insert the plate with the application front first (to the rear of the
instrument, check chapter 2.6 Reference point)
• With the timer arrow keys select the lighting time you want
• Press the appropriate lamp key to select an illumination source. The
respective control LED of the selected illumination will turn on and the pre-
selected blue timer LED will flash
• To start the RT White mode hold down the R White key while pressing the
T White key or vice versa
• Lighting continues until the pre-set time has elapsed or the selected lamp
key is pressed again
• Changing the time resets the timer and the newly selected time starts
without switching off the illumination. Changing the type of lighting
immediately turns off the working tubes and turns on the newly selected
tubes
• The blue sliding gate must be closed in order to turn on UV light. If you
open the gate while a UV light is on, the illumination stops. In both cases
an optical and acoustic signal is issued.
• If you have to start UV illumination while the blue sliding gate is open, you
have to hold down the UV lamp key for about three seconds until the light
is turned on. The light stays on as long as you are holding the lamp key
down.
