Set-Up
(Ⅰ) Installation of the apparatus
Once the instrument has been turned on, it will go through a series of self diagnostic checks. During this
time a malfunction code may arise if there are any problems with the instrument. At this time any
troubleshooting needed should be done.
Once the instrument has started up normally and the screen in figure 4 appears then a standard strip
should be run to make sure that the optics and printer are working properly. The calibrator kit comes with
two standard strips and the values that should come from running the strip as a sample. If there is a
deviation in the results the standard strip and that on the values on the standard kit then there may be a
problem with the instrument.
