Chapter 3 System Operation
3.1. Starting the System
ATTENTION
Check the supply voltage of the system BEFORE plugging in the CPU and Swept Source Engine.
Set the line select switch on the CPU to the appropriate setting.
Make sure the power cords for Swept Source Engine, PC and monitor are connected to a properly
grounded power outlet (100
– 240 VAC; 50 – 60 Hz).
Transportation and delivery may cause the Swept Source OCT system to be warm or cool upon
receipt. Please wait for the system to reach room temperature before attempting to operate.
Use a flat, dry, stable surface to set up the system.
System Components Start-up
Follow these steps for a proper initialization of the system:
Figure 9 Swept Source Control Panel
1. Start the Swept Source Engine by placing the POWER switch
to the “|” position. Verify that the “POWER
ON” indicator turns green.
2. At this time, ALL of the indicators on the Swept Source Engine will turn on for approximately 3
– 5
seconds, then turn off with the exception of the POWER ON indicator and either the “TEMP” indicator or
“SYS OK” indicator, depending on the status of the internal temperature controller.
3.
If the “TEMP” indicator is on wait until the “SYS OK” indicator turns green, the “TEMP” indicator should
turn off at that time. This should take no longer than 1 minute if the unit has been acclimated to room
ambient temperature.
4. Verify that the POWER ON indicator on the Imaging Module is also turned on.
