Powering up the system

Once plugged in to a surge-protected wall outlet, the system is always powered on. Power to
specific system components, including overhead and transillumination lighting, is con- trolled
by switches located on the front of the unit.
If using the system with a motorized zoom lens, turn on the power switch for the Lens
Control Box (see "Camera Setup" for more information).
The White Light and Ultraviolet power switches are three-way rocker switches. Selecting
the upper switch position will turn on the corresponding overhead illumination. Selecting
the lower switch position will turn on the corresponding transillumination. Finally, selecting
the middle switch position will turn off the lighting.
7.1.1 UV Timer
For UV light protection and to extend the life of the UV transilluminator, there is a ten-minute
transilluminator UV Timer installed in the system. The timer shuts off the transilluminator
after ten minutes of operation. Press the button on the front of the darkroom to reset the
timer.
IMPORTANT
When the darkroom door is opened and closed again, the UV timer is automatically reset.
