System
Alert
The instrument will signal an Alert when conditions exist such that you will need to perform a
full alignment (for example, Align Now, All). The Alert can be configured in one of four settings;
Time & Temperature, 24 hours, 7 days, or None. A confirmation is required when a selection other
than Time & Temperature is chosen. This prevents accidental deactivation of alerts.
With Auto Align set to Normal, the configuration of Alert is not relevant because the instrument’s
software maintains the instrument in warranted operation.

register.

Initial S/W Revision Prior to A.02.00
Time & Temperature
With Auto Align Alert set to Time & Temperature the instrument will signal an alert when
alignments expire due to the combination of the passage of time and changes in temperature. The
alert is the Error Condition message “Align Now, All required”. If this choice for Alert is selected,
the absence of an alert means that the analyzer alignment is sufficiently up-to-date to maintain
warranted accuracy.
