Power Up

With the Handset Controller properly connected to the unit, turn on the PTR406/PTR406B using the switch located
at the back of the unit.
The system will go through an initialization process that takes from 15 to 90 seconds, during which time it will home
and fill the internal recoat pump (if so equipped) and home the linear Proof Tester. During initialization, the handset
Controller will auto-detect the PTR406/PTR406B and display the main screen. From here the User can start
injecting, curing, testing, viewing, or editing Parameters and select items on the toolbar
The Handset Controller provides a simple, easy to use interface for configuring, controlling, and monitoring PTR
and LDC series machines. The following sections contain a quick start guide followed by a more detailed view of
the features and capabilities of the Handset Controller.

A Quick Start Guide to Using the Handset Controller

Once the Handset Controller has recognized a PTR406/PTR406B, the Main Screen is displayed.
A: Status Bar (currently blank)
B: Inject Button
C: Cure Button
D: Test Button

(Note that the main screen differs slightly when the Handset Controller detects PTR406B; Inject functionality is
removed.)
