INSTALAB 700 QUICK START GUIDE
STARTUP
The Instalab IL700 is powered on by pressing the on/off switch located on the front panel. A series of Startup screens load after
the system is turned on. A status bar will indicate the loading of forms and upon completion, the Instrument Information screen
displays for several seconds before the Main Menu screen displays.
IMPORTANT:
The unit is designed to remain on and not be turned off. If turned off, it is recommended that the unit be
powered on for 3 hours before measurements are taken.

Startup Screens
MAIN MENU SCREEN
NOTE: Regular maintenance routines are recommended for optimum unit performance. Frequency is dependent on
environmental conditions. Refer to the Operator’s manual for maintenance instruction.
The Main Menu screen appears after all Startup screens have loaded. The “Home” menu is the main screen that all other screens
are accessed. Main functions available at the Main Menu are analyzing, accessing test results, and system setup.
Optics Temperature Thermometer
An optics temperature thermometer displays the
temperature of the optics chamber. The bar is red until the
temperature reading is /- .50 degrees C of the
optimum set point of 50.00 degrees C.
The bar turns
green when the temperature is /-.10 degrees
C of the setpoint.
Upon power up of the unit, the
temperature will climb to 50.00 degrees C and likely
overshoot. Some oscillation will occur before stabilizing. A
temperature warning appears when the bar is red but
analysis can still occur and is flagged with a symbol
indicating the result is suspect.
IMPORTANT:
It is highly recommended that NO analysis is
performed until the temperature bar is consistently green. Stabilization can take a minimum of 30 minutes but is highly
recommended the unit be on for 3 hours before performing an analysis
.
