Ludlum Measurements, Inc. Page 5 November 2017
Connect the instrument to mains power using the power cable provided and
then turn the instrument on “|” using the front panel power switch (lower
left corner).
Upon power-up, the LCD displays become backlit, front panel indicators
(LEDs) illuminate, and the alpha display shows all eights (888888). Then the
firmware version is displayed. Parameters will display before initialization
completes if the “Show Parameters during power-up” box is checked in
“General Settings” within the interface program. After initialization is
complete, both displays are blanked, and all front-panel indicators (LEDs)
are turned off.
If using the computer interface, start the interface program from the
appropriate directory and set the desired operating parameters described in
detail in Section 6 of this manual
Perform a QC check by following the directions imprinted on the
instrument front panel if available, ensuring the tray latch switch (Model
3030) is placed in the TRAY UNLATCHED position before attempting to pull
out the tray. Once the tray is slid out, place the check source in the center,
slide the tray back in place, and place the tray latch switch in the TRAY
LATCHED position. See Section 6 of this manual for further details on “QC
Check.”
The COUNT TIME MINUTES switch should be set based on the count rates
being observed and the desired statistical accuracy. Set the VOLUME control
to the desired level of audio.
Proceed to use the instrument. For further information on instrument
controls or functions, consult Sections 4 and 7 of this manual.
