Setting Up Procedure
Initial Setting Up for Use
After the initial installation and before switching on the SAM,
read
Operating Instructions (page 5-1) . Ensure the door(s) are
properly closed. Connect the mains lead to the SAM12 and
turn the keyswitch clockwise until the unit switches on (a click
is heard after about 1-2 seconds) and then release it (see
Keyswitch operation (page 7-4) ).
The SAM12 will power up and load up the Windows XP
operating system, followed by the SAM12 application. During
this time, the
Thermo Scientific
banner will be displayed (see
below)
.
Once the application has loaded, the application will initialise
(see
Start Up Checks (page 5-46) ). The system will
automatically pass into the User Mode. In this mode, the user
will not have access to any operational parameters. In order to
set up the instrument the user requires a security dongle, which
should be placed in the USB port of the SAM12. When this
dongle is in place, the touch screen is activated, and the user
will have access to the
Administrator Mode (page 5-1) .
There are three user levels:(Technician, Health Physicist and
Thermo Fisher). The lowest level is
Technician
and allows the
user to view some parameters and undertake calibration checks.
The
Health Physicist
level gives access to all parameters that
are used for calibration and setup of the instrument. The top
level
Thermo Fisher
is reserved for the expert user since it
gives access to specialised calibrations settings that
fundamentally affect the performance of the instrument, and
should only be set at the Thermo Fisher factory or by a Service
General
