Power on the analyzer by pressing the ON/OFF button (Figure1). An automatic start-up procedure will be initiated. Please wait.
Do not open the lid manually.
2
The automatic start-up procedure will be initiated shortly after the analyzer has been powered on. The red light on the top of the analyzer will
turn on, indicating that the analyzer is busy. The analyzer is ready for use when the start-up menu is displayed and the green indicator light
turns on.

Start-up menu
The analyzer’s software version (SW X.XX) will appear in the upper left corner of the Start-up menu screen. The temperature displayed in the
Start-up menu is the operating analyzer temperature. Make sure that the operating temperature is within the recommended range for your
Afinion Test (see the package insert for the Afinion Test).
If the analyzer fails during the start-up procedure, an information code will appear referring to a message given in the section “Information
codes and troubleshooting”, page 26-28.
How to power OFF the analyzer
Switch off the analyzer by pressing the ON/OFF button (Figure 1). The analyzer should be powered off after the end of a working day.
The analyzer can only be powered off when the cartridge chamber is empty and the lid is closed. If the ON/OFF button is pressed and the lid is open, the
message ”Close lid” will appear on the screen.
How to operate the analyzer
The Afinion 2 Analyzer has two main user interfaces, the touch screen and the cartridge chamber. The analyzer is easily operated using the touch buttons that appear
on the screen. When a button is touched, its function will be activated. Text messages that appear on the screen will help guide you through the testing procedure.
The functions of the touch buttons are explained in the section “Gallery of icons”,
page 32–34.
The other main operative part of the Afinion 2 Analyzer is the cartridge chamber. The cartridge chamber is designed to receive the test cartridge in one orientation
only. The lid must be manually closed, but opens automatically. When a new test cartridge is placed in the chamber, manually closing the lid will initiate the analysis.
When the analysis is complete the lid will open automatically. The lid protects the cartridge chamber from dust, dirt, light and humidity during processing and when
the analyzer is not in use.
• The lid must be manually closed, but opens automatically. Do not open the lid manually.
• Use the fingertips only on the touch screen. Do not use pens or other sharp instruments.
Screen saver
The screen saver will turn on after 3 minutes, if the touch screen is not in use. To reactivate, touch the screen.
Light signals (the red and green LEDs)
The red diode is illuminated when the analyzer is busy. A flashing red light is seen when an information code is displayed. The green diode is illuminated when the
analyzer is ready for use. A flashing green light indicates completion of an analysis.
Sound signals
A short beep indicates completion of an analysis. Two beeps mean that an information code or message is displayed.
