Note
Do not switch off the system while the high-voltage generator is on because this may re-
duce the operational lifespan of both the X-ray tube and the high-voltage generator.
Each time a sample is removed, the high voltage is switched off automatically. The high
voltage may also be switched off using the control software.
Turning the key switch clockwise:
'Measurement Standby Mode ON'
Continue turning the key clockwise until it reaches the "READY" position. The orange status LED be-
gins to flash. The system is now in Measurement Standby mode (i.e., it is ready to measure samples).
If a system alarm is present, Measurement Standby mode cannot be started (see "Status displays').
Note
Samples may only be transferred into the sample measurement chamber or removed when
the system is in Measurement Standby mode.
Turning the key switch counterclockwise:
Measurement Standby mode OFF
Before switching off the system (or during long periods between measurements), exit Measurement
Standby mode. To exit Measurement Standby mode, turn the key as far counterclockwise as possible
and hold it until the orange status LED extinguishes.
Protection against unauthorized operation
To prevent unauthorized persons from using the system, remove the key from the key switch. This
also prevents the X-rays from being accidentally turned on.
Note
The X-ray generator is controlled by a three position Keyed switch (OFF/NEUTRAL/ON)
similar to the ignition switch of a car. The key can only be removed when the switch is in
the OFF position. The switch will remain in the OFF position until the key is inserted and
turned. Therefore the removal of the key will terminate production of X-ray.
