UA-6 Detector
Section 2 Preparation for Use
2.1 Unpacking
Unpack the detector carefully. Check all components and
accessory packages against the packing lists. Any damage or
shortages should be reported immediately to Teledyne Isco.
Retain the shipping containers in the event the instrument needs
to be returned to the factory for service. Reference should be
made to the warranty located in the back of this manual, prior to
assembling the instrument.
2.2 Preparation for Use
(Power)
CAUTION
Prior to connecting the UA-6 to power, check the serial tag to
ensure that the voltage and frequency requirements of the
instrument are compatible with the available voltage and fre-
quency.
The UA-6 uses a detachable line cord. Connect the receptacle end
to the MAINS plug (Figure 1-3) and then connect the plug to a
properly rated mains supply.
2.3 Installing the Chart
Paper and Pen
To install the paper (refer to Figure 2-1):
1. Raise the pen lift arm so that the pen clears the roller.
2. Unroll several inches of paper from a new roll of chart
paper.
3. Fold or cut the leading edge of the paper at a 30° angle.
(Don't fold the paper into a point; this tends to cause a
snag.)
4. With the printed side of the paper away from you, feed the
paper up around the front of the paper guide and behind
the roller.
5. Use the manual advance thumb wheel to help draw the
paper the rest of the way around the roller.
6. If the paper is feeding crooked, pull the short side forward
(allow a few sprocket holes to tear as needed) until the
paper is feeding squarely. Advance the paper until the full
width of smooth paper has cleared the guide bar. Be sure
the sprockets are engaging the sprocket holes in the paper.
7. Lay the supply roll of chart paper in the chart paper com-
partment under the roller. If necessary, rewind any
unwound portion first.
8. The paper can now be advanced either manually or auto-
matically.
