Preparing for Operation
2.1.6 Functional Test
➢
Call self alignment with the CAL key, CAL TOTAL softkey. Once the system correction
values have been calculated successfully, the message Calibration Passed will appear.
➢
Start the self test with the SETUP key, SERVICE – SELFTEST softkeys. Once the
instrument modules have been checked successfully, the message Selftest Passed will
appear.
Once both steps have been completed successfully, the instrument will be ready for operation.
The functional test should only be performed when the operating
temperature is reached (approx. 15 minutes after the instrument is
switched on).
The self alignment does not need to be repeated every time the
instrument is switched on, because the instrument saves the values
and loads them during booting automatically. A self alignment is
recommended if the instrument is used at a temperature that differs
considerable (more than 10°C) from the temperature present at the last
self alignment.
The self test also does not need to be repeated every time the
instrument is switched on. It is necessary only when instrument
malfunction is suspected.
