If the imager is powered down by the Soft Shut Down procedure, then a Soft Start
Up can be done using the front, soft power switch. The soft power switch is the blue
lighted switch located just above the front door and below the touchscreen. This
switch allows the user power down the imager computer and touchscreen, while
maintaining power to the camera cooling unit. This feature allows the user to power
down the imager, but, once needed, quickly restart the imager without having to
wait for the camera temperature to re-equilibrate.
1. Turn on the front soft power switch. The computer restarts and the touchscreen
initiates with the default Chemi screen.
2. Begin normal operation of the imager.
Note For extended periods of inactivity, the imager can be hard powered off;
however, for typical daily use, optimal camera temperature, and best image quality,
avoid hard powering on and off the imager.
The Soft Shut Down procedure uses only the front soft power switch.
1. Save any current image analyses.
2. Safely remove any USB flash drives.
3. Turn off the soft power switch.
4. The computer and touchscreen shut down and turn off. The fans continue
running as needed. The camera cooler remains powered and continue to
maintain the camera at the optimal -25°C.
5. The transilluminator and epi-white lights turn off.
The Hard Shut Down procedure uses the hard power switch on the rear of the
imager. This turns off all power to the imager, including the computer and camera
cooler.
1. Follow the Soft Shut Down procedure.
2. Turn off the hard power switch at the rear of the imager.
