The Xenotest 440 is turned on with the main switch

and then operated by the keypad on the program control
panel

. The microprocessor-aided program control 

enables both opening of already pre-programmed test 

sequences  and  the  design  and  initialization  of  user-
specific tests. The parameter values required for the test 

are entered with the numeric block of the keyboard and 
initialized by the different function keys. The inputs and 
the resulting status messages are shown in the display. 
The test documentation can be output in data form via 

the communication interface. Detailed specifications for 
the program control and programming of test sequences  

are described in the instrument’s software documenta-
tion manual.

XenoLogic™ Function

 

NOTE – XenoLogic function

XenoLogic is a new control technique based on two xe

-

non lamps with which high irradiances and longer useful 
lives can be achieved. The lamps are operated intelli-

gently and alternately or together as required.

 

NOTE – expiry of useful life

 

On expiry of the useful life, the lamp parame

-

ters that ensure proper operation of the device 
are no longer guaranteed. Especially negative 
effects on the results gained with these cannot 

be ruled out. Use of the lamps beyond the use

-

ful life specified by Atlas is therefore at your 
own risk.
