Injector Pump Floating Guide Check
1. The purpose of this test is to ensure that the cassette tracks freely
through the pump, is under control at all points, and that the
cassette bars are a constant dimension from the sensor tip.
2. Inspect the floating guides and make sure they are clean and contain
no build-up of H2O2 preservative. If build-up is observed, clean the
guides before continuing with the test.
3. Insert a cassette so that the leading edge is approximately 20 mm
past the drive roller. Start the cassette adjustment test and press
START on the control panel.
4. Watch the cassette as it travels on to the rear portion of the injector
pump. Observe the gap between the floating guide and the cassette.
The gap should be less than 0.5 mm. Press CLOSE DOOR to stop
cassette from traveling.
5. If a larger gap exists, perform the floating guide adjustment
procedure in Chapter 5.
Cassette Optics Test
1. Open the control enclosure and interrupt power to the enclosure by
defeating the safety interlock.
2. Remove the CPU board, and install the AutoTest board.
3. Apply power to the enclosure by enabling the safety interlock.
4. Start the AutoTest procedure.
5. Remove the AutoTest board at the completion of the test.
RF Power Test
1. Disconnect the RF (COAX) cable from the RF generator.
2. Connect the cable to output connector of the 4412 Bird Watt Meter.
3. Connect a test cable from the RF generator to the input end of the
4412 Bird Watt meter.
CAUTION: Make sure the cable is securely connected so that it
does not short across the enclosure.
4. Set up a Bird Watt meter on the X10 kilowatt scale. The slug arrow
should point towards the RF match. Start the Vacuum RF Test in
AutoTest. At this point you may continue the entire RF Power Test
using the AutoTest Vacuum_RF menu.
