1. Starting up
Please note that first start up of Thermostep-analyser has been done already before delivery of
the instrument. The following described operations are
not necessary
to be done before the
first analysis.
By reason that a lot of service operations needs a new start up for the according component
and for a better understanding of the working instructions the start up is described here
detailed. For starting of the analyser it is necessary that the computer is connected and that the
software has been started. Please open and remove the lower side panels of the instrument
then removing ground cables. If not mentioned different the components are behind the lower
side panels. It is recommended to read the working instruction once completely and to follow
it step-by-step!
