4.3. Choosing Startup Cycle

The «Startup» cycle is used daily, prior to any normal operation to ensure that detergent from the
«Standby» cycle is completely rinsed out of the system.
It includes a Background count which must be verified prior to any analysis of samples. This is nec-
essary to ensure that there are «No» extraneous interferences that may be detected as background
noise which will affect the cell count. See Section 3,
information regarding Startup.
This Special functions sub-menu will allow the operator to choose between an Automatic or a Manual

cros 60 has been powered «ON».

4.4. Setting Autocleaning frequency

This sub-menu allows the operator to change the cycle frequency of the automatic cleaning cycle
which occurs when the cycle number programmed, has been reached.
The Default Cleaning cycle number is factory set to 50 analysis cycles. The user has the option of
changing this number from 1 to 99,999.
This Automatic Cleaning cycle involves the use of the solution ABX Miniclean which is an enzymatic
cleaner. This solution breaks down protein buildup in the counting chambers and apertures.
If the message «STARTUP CYCLE NOT INITIATED» appears on the display after selecting
the mode for startup, press the «Esc» key until you return to the Main Menu then press
the «Startup» key to initiate the Startup cycle. This will prevent the «STARTUP CYCLE
NOT INITIATED» message from appearing on the printout of any analysis cycle run prior
to instrument Startup.
