Please note that these operating screens cannot 

be seen except with the cabinet door open and the 

instrument in maintenance bypass mode. See section 

5.3 for more information on this.

During normal operation, the instrument will have the arrow beside 

AUTO

 highlighted with the current scale displayed on the lower row of 

the display and the measured reading on the upper row of the display 

(see screen shown).

The screen depicted indicates that the system has just been started 

or just entered 

AUTO

 mode from Service mode and no readings have 

been taken yet.

NOTICE

Please note that calibrations will not be allowed until a reading is 

posted.

6.3 Security Access Feature

The instrument is equipped with a security access code feature that 

can be activated in the configuration mode. If the security feature is 

enabled, the screen shown in the illustration below will appear when 

the 

MODE/EXIT

 button is pressed.

The security code (333) must be entered to gain access to 

CAL

 or 

CONFIG

 menus. Notice that the first number in the code is flashing. 

The flashing indicates that this is the number to be changed. Use the 

 or 

 arrows to select the first of the three numbers in the code and 

then press the 

  button to accept the first number of the code. Now 

enter the second number in the code. Proceed as with the first number 

followed by 

  . Then repeat the process for the third number in the 

access code, and finish with the 

  button.

If the valid access code has been selected, the instrument 

will be directed to the calibration mode. If the wrong access 

code is selected, the instrument will return to the AUTO 

mode. Refer to section 8.4 

Enabling the Security Access

 

for more information.

6.4 The White LED

A white LED is used to illuminate the measurement cuvette for easy  

viewing of the instrument operations. During the Zeroing portion of  

the cycle and the Measurement portion of the cycle, when the green  

LED is active, the white LED is turned off to lower interference. This is  

normal operation for the instrument and does not represent an error  

or problem.

The white LED is also used to draw attention to a problem 

as described in section 10.1 

CLX-Ex Fault Detection

. In 

these instances the white LED blinks at a constant rate 

dependent on the severity of the problem, but is still turned 

off as described above. Please note that any fault is always posted to 

message queue on the lower portion of the LCD.
