series of reflections must occur after light enters through some location on the
camera housing.
Miscellaneous malfunctions
Various types of problems occur if any of the connectors throughout the instrument
lose contact. Inspect the connectors and press them together for better contact if
necessary. Avoid reverse installation of connectors. Pin #1 is marked for installation
into socket #1 of each connector.
Note that there is a 'Lamp Test' function on the display board that can be activated
by connecting the two pins together momentarily.
Laboratory conditions
Do not allow exposure to corrosive vapor. Many laboratory procedures cause excess-
ive corrosive vapor concentrations as indicated by corroded connectors and other vis-
ible parts on many instruments in such laboratories. Malfunction due to such
corrosion is not covered by warranty.
In conditions of very high electrical noise on the AC Mains power circuit, or
improper chassis grounding (the 3rd terminal of the power cord), the auxiliary com-
puter display and the LI-3100C display may differ by a small amount, for less than
the basic accuracy.
