Internal Calibration
This section describes the internal calibration procedure.
Starting the Circuit Calibration Procedure
1. Prior to starting the Circuit CAL, verify that the Laser Head and Optical Rail are
properly aligned.
2. Install the delivery system with a 3 mm Handpiece.
3. Go to the Main Screen.
4. Press and hold the wrench/file icon for a few seconds until a keyboard shows up on the
screen. Enter the code 882347 to go to the Circuit CAL screen. Note that other
Maintenance Mode tab selections are grayed out providing no access to their
functionality.
Laser Energy Circuit CAL
The Laser Energy Circuit CAL basically pulses the laser into an external meter and then into
the system's Calport at low and high energies to calculate slope and offset calibration values.
1. Put on AlexTriVantage laser safety eyewear. Warning: The laser will enter the READY
mode for the entire calibration procedure.
2. Press the Cal Energy Ckt button to begin the Circuit CAL. A message will appear on
the screen: "Are you sure you want to calibrate the Energy Circuits? All factors reset
when initiated". Press "Yes" to initiate the Energy Circuit calibration and the laser will
enter the READY State.
Caution: When pulsing into the Ophir energy meter, the meter head must be 6"
from the handpiece to prevent damage to the meter head.
Warning: The laser will enter the READY mode for the entire calibration
procedure.
Note: Once the calibration is initiated, the Laser Energy must be calibrated correctly
and successfully completed in order to use the laser for treatments.
