Model 360E Instruction Manual Getting Started
3.2. Initial Operation
If you are unfamiliar with the M360E theory of operation, we recommend that you read
Chapter 10. For information on navigating the analyzer’s software menus, see the menu trees described in
Appendix A.1.
NOTE
The analyzer’s cover must be installed to ensure that the temperatures of the GFC
wheel and absorption cell assemblies are properly controlled.
3.2.1. Startup
After electrical and pneumatic connections are made, turn on the instrument. The pump, exhaust fan and PMT
cooler fan should start immediately. The display should immediately display a single, horizontal dash in the
upper left corner of the display. This will last approximately 30 seconds while the CPU loads the operating
system.
Once the CPU has completed this activity it will begin loading the analyzer firmware and configuration data.
During this process, string of messages will appear on the analyzer’s front panel display:
