Setup Instrument

There are some operating modes which are not available to the user when the CI-203CA is being used.
The user does not have access to the menu options for the CI-203CA when the CI-203 is being used.
The threshold setting is available only when the CI-203CA is being used (at the same time, the hand-
held threshold setting is not available).

Changing the CI-203CA Springs

The tension on the rubber rollers is maintained with dowel pins and springs that are at each end of
the rollers. If you desire to ease the tension of the rubber roller for thick and juicy leaves, you can use
the alternate springs provided in the accessories. The plate above the rubber rollers holds the springs
and pins in position. If this plate is removed to change the springs, take care not to get fingerprints or
dirt on the reflective tape, which is on the underside of the plate. Also, take care in removing the plate
so that the springs do not fly loose when the plate is removed. (Observe the orientation of the
reflective tape, since on some units the tape is closer to one end than the other.) Since the conveyor
allows direct measurements of difficult leaves through changing to alternate springs, there is no need
for a sheath.

Unavailable Parameters

When used with the CI-203CA, the CI-203 will automatically save leaf measurements and set the Auto
Save mode to yes. Consequently, the instrument will automatically reset Auto Save to Yes if it was
manually set to No in the conveyor once power has been cycled. But no what it says, measurements
are always being saved.

Setup Scanner Threshold

The operation of this menu item is identical to the operation described in theCI-203 portion of
theOpen manual. However, when the CI-203CA is being used, the threshold that is being set is the one
that is used during conveyor measurements. In order to completely set up the instrument, it is
necessary to set up threshold both with the hand-held instrument and in the CI-203CA. Also, when
one is setting thresholds with the CI-203CA, the conveyor motor does not come on, as the objective is
for the conveyor to keep measurement standards.
