SAMPLE PROCESSING, Start-Up Procedure
2-4 Sysmex SF-3000 Operator's Manual -- Revised July 1998
2.2 Turning On the Power
Turn ON the power switches in the following order: 1) Printers, 2) Pneumatic Unit and
3) Main Unit. The message "Please Wait" will be displayed on the LCD after
approximately 10 seconds. The pressure and vacuum will reach their preset values
approximately 30 seconds after the power is turned ON.
CAUTION: • If the Data Printer (DP-510) is connected, turn ON the power switch
of the Main Unit first, then the DP-510.
NOTE: • The power of the Pneumatic Unit is controlled by the Main Unit; thus,
you can normally leave the Pneumatic Unit power switch ON.
2.3 Self-Checks
The instrument performs a self-check operation automatically after the power is turned
ON. The following checks are performed in order: microprocessor check, program
loading, temperature/pneumatic check, mechanical parts check, and background check.
If any failure occurs during the self-check process, see Chapter 8: Troubleshooting.
1 . Microprocessor Check and Program Loading
When the power is turned on, the message "System test in progress. Wait for a
moment..." will be displayed and the microprocessor performs system and
memory tests automatically. If any error occurs during the self-check, an error
message appears on the screen. Jot down the message and turn the power OFF
and ON again. If the same error message appears, contact a Sysmex service
representative.
When the microprocessor check is completed, the system program will be
automatically loaded from the hard disk. The message "Now Loading System.
Wait for a moment..." is displayed during the program loading.
NOTE: If the Main Unit is powered OFF during the system hard disk is being
accessed ("HD" indicator appears in the System Status Area), the
system memory check will be performed after program loading when
the system is started next time. The message "Verifying stored data.
Please wait..." will appear. It will take approx. 15 minutes to complete
the memory check.
2 . Temperature/Pressure Check
After the program loading is completed, the messages "Running" and "Start-up"
will be displayed on the LCD. The pressure and vacuum are monitored until they
reach the preset range. At the same time, the program advances to the temperature
check and the temperature of the WBC analysis system is checked. Wait until
pressure, vacuum and temperature have reached the allowable range and the
message disappears.
If the message is still displayed 30 minutes after the power has been turned ON, the
instrument is probably malfunctioning. In this case, turn OFF the power and
contact a Sysmex service representative.
