Procedures for accessing and/or changing parameters as well as

analyzer operation are detailed in the sections to follow. In general, the sequence of menus available on screen follows a logical course for setup and operation. It is not required, however to follow this sequential path. The user could, for instance, go directly to set an analysis range and then program an offset to the current output for matching a range on the user’s recording device. The only exception to this is when the instrument is powered up. It will go through a warm-up period, followed by a diagnostic self-test routine.

Caution: ALARM SUPPRESSION:

When an alarm condition occurs (see ALARMS), one or both of the messages, 'AL-1', and/or 'AL- 2' will be displayed on the VFD while in the ANALYSIS SCREEN. At this time, the ENTER button may be pressed to acknowledge the alarm(s) in which case the alarms will be suppressed until the analysis value is next updated. This can result in a condition where the screen may be reporting a value that should cause an alarm, but until the analyzer again enters SAMPLE MODE, no alarm condition will reoccur.
