Initial Operation; Start Up - Teledyne 300E Instruction Manual

Getting Started

3.2. Initial Operation

If you are unfamiliar with the M300E theory of operation, we recommend that you
read Section 10 before proceeding.
For information on navigating the analyzer's software menus, see the menu trees
described in Appendix A.

3.2.1. Start Up

After electrical and pneumatic connections are made, turn on the instrument power.
The exhaust fan and pump should start. The display should immediately display a
single horizontal dash at the far, left of the display. This will last for
approximately 20 – 30 seconds as the microprocessor that is the heart of the
analyzer loads its basic operating system.
Once the CPU has completed this activity it will begin loading the analyzer firmware
and factory calibration data. During this process several progress messages,
similar to the following, will appear on the analyzer's display.

boot-up sequence and start monitoring CO gas. You should see the following
display.
