1 HOW TO USE THIS MANUAL
The Model 200A has been designed to provide serviceability, reliability and ease of operation.
The M200A's microprocessor continually checks operating parameters such as temperatue, flow,
and critical voltages. The instruments modular design uses captive screws to facilitate repair and
ease of access. If you encounter any difficulty refer to Section 9 General Troubleshooting Hints.
We recognize that the need for information in this manual changes as time passes. When the
instrument first arrives, it is necessary to get it up and running quickly and verify its correct
operation. As time passes, more detailed information is often required on special configurations,
calibration alternatives and other operational details. Finally there is the need for periodic
maintenance and to quickly troubleshoot problems to assure maximum reliability and data
integrity.
To address these needs, we have created three indexes to the information inside. They are:
