Chapter 3 System Startup
The HVI 900 is a sophisticated instrument that requires specific
instruction and training to be used properly. Only operators that have
received proper training should use the HVI system.
Before beginning to use the instrument, make sure the system has been
properly installed (see Chapter 2). Power should be ON for the
instrument, monitor, and balance.
Attention: If the instrument's power has been OFF,
allow at least four (4) hours for the colorimeter to
warm up before calibrating and testing.
The top switch on the front of the length/strength plexiglass cover for
Version 3 hardware that is using Version 4 software is the power
switch.
• Press the power switch to turn ON the instrument power.
• Before testing, you must turn on the blower. The blower switch is
located just below the main power switch. A warning message is
displayed during system startup if the blower has not been turned on
previously.
Most of the screens shown in this manual were taken from a Version 3
900 Semi-Automatic instrument with Length/Strength, Micronaire, and
Color/Trash. The software is Version 4.
CAUTION:
Keep hands, jewelry, and clothing away from the color trays and
color hand. Make sure the area around the Length/Strength and the
Color/Trash start buttons remains clear so that the buttons are not
accidentally pressed.
