Overview of the Detector's Indicators and Test Functions

Status Indicators

The detector is provided with two status indicators which indicate the operational state
(prerun, run, and error states) of the detector. The status indicators provide a quick
visual check of the operation of the detector (see
Error Messages
In the event of an electronic, mechanical or hydraulic failure, the detector generates an
error message in the user interface. For each message, a short description of the failure,
a list of probable causes of the problem, and a list of suggested actions to fix the
problem are provided (see
Wavelength Recalibration
Wavelength recalibration is recommended after repair of internal components, and on a
regular basis to ensure correct operation of the
order maximum and the deuterium alpha-emission line for wavelength calibration (see
"Wavelength Calibration"
Test Functions
A series of test functions are available for troubleshooting and operational verification
after exchanging internal components (see
Status Indicators
Two status indicators are located on the front of the detector. The lower left indicates
the power supply status, the upper right indicates the detector status.
