OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS

To exploit the APOLLO 4000’s capabilities fully, it is very important that the user be

aware of the general methods for operating the maintaining the instrument. This will

also ensure that the user is able to understand and interpret the readings.

Setting up the APOLLO 4000

Place the APOLLO 4000 on a secure, flat surface (

e.g., laboratory bench).

Position the LCD display on top of the APOLLO 4000 and connect the

display cable to display output video port located on the rear panel of the

APOLLO 4000 (see A-4).

Power the LCD display by connecting one end of the cable from the

provided voltage converter (AC to 12V DC) to the LCD display Power input

receptacle. Connect the other end of the voltage converter to a matching

3-prong grounded wall receptacle and switch on.

Connect the power supply cord to the back of the APOLLO 4000 and plug

the other end into a matching 3-prong grounded wall receptacle (see set-

up diagram below).

NOTE: Ensure that the red voltage selector switch on the rear panel

(next to the power cable receptacle) is set to the correct voltage —
220 or 110.

Switching ON the APOLLO 4000

The unit can be turned on by pressing the “Power” pushbutton on the front panel.

After booting up, the system automatically starts the main application software

(APOLLO.exe). If other applications have been used the user can return to

Apollo4000 application by double clicking the “Apollo” icon in the right upper

corner of Windows

desktop.

During the process of booting up no error messages should appear on the screen.

(see Troubleshooting).

Switching OFF the APOLLO 4000

The APOLLO 4000 incorporates a highly advanced single board computer and
