TURNING ON AND OFF
To turn the instrument on,
set the Safe/Arm in position A
(Armed) and
push the trigger for more than 3 seconds
: a
long beep will accompany the lighting of the display.
At the start up, the instrument performs an
initialization/self-calibration procedure of the
CCD (about 3 seconds)
during which there must be NO object in the measurement field and NO dirt on the optical windows.
We suggest to clean the optics before switching the device on
If the initialization is not performed correctly for one of these reasons, on the display will show an error message
INIT
CCD FAIL! REMOVE PIECE FROM THE FIELD.
In this case, remove the piece from the measuring field and press a
function key to restart the instrument.
At startup is also made a test to find dirt on the optical windows. If dirt is detected the following message appears on
the display
DIRTY DETECTED POWER OFF & CLEAN
At this point, using the function keys, you can choose:
F1 - Ignore
Start the gun ignoring the message of dirt
F4 - Power Off
Turn off the instrument for cleaning of optical windows
If you decide to ignore the message about the dirt, the gun will start normally, but the measurements may be not
accurate. In this case the display will show the icon
. The number on the icon indicates the type of detected dirty:
1 = smooth dirty, 2 = localized dirty, 3 = smooth and localized dirty.
To switch off, press and hold (> 2 sec) the
F3 key
(
Power Off
) and then the
F1 key
as indicated on the display.
Attention!
In case of malfunction of the gun, the instrument can be reset by pushing the trigger for 45 seconds,
ignoring any error messages that appear on the screen.
