5.2 Taking the EDM 180 into operation
Please choose previous to the measurement how the data shall be gathered and processed (Online data
collection via network and storage onto the PCMCIA data storage card / only storage of the data onto the
PCMCIA data storage card without online data collection).
In order to collect data via network or connected PC via the RS 232 interface see chapter 8.4
.
The PCMCIA storage card has to be inserted into the spectrometer 187 previous to the measurement.
Here the storage card has to be accepted by the device. Please mind the information in chapter 4.8 for
installation and operation of the storage card.
An inappropriate installation of the data storage card might lead to loss of data!
After switching on the device the LCD display shows the model designation and software version number.
After app. 5 seconds date and time will be shown.
With an installed data storage card the size of the card (Card), the version number (Version), the set data
storage interval (interval can only be changed within stand-by mode with the keys + and -) and the
remaining storage space will be shown.
By pressing the key [Standby] (only if „filter changed? Press +:yes -:no“ is on the display) lets you request
the serial number and number of operation ours. Operation hours are the hours of pump and laser service
life. The other keys have the same function like described in chapter 5. Now you will be asked if the filter
has been changed (filter changed?). Answer with [-] if the filter has not been changed. If you answer with
yes [+] the calculated filter weight and its according sample volume will be set to zero. These values are
important for the service (judgment of the filter loading). In order to avoid an accidental deletion of the
values, a delayed keyboard inquiry is installed. You have to press the key for at least one second until a
beep tone resounds. Now the measurement starts beginning with a ca. 30 seconds lasting self-test.
Every measurement is being introduced by a self-test at which the optical chamber is being rinsed with
pure air. There several different internal measurements are being done which reveal the status and
condition of the device.
