3.5 Test the Densitometer
The Densitometer automatically performs a simple self-test each time it is turned on. The
self-test checks the status of certain Densitometer components.
Start the Densitometer self-test by following the steps below:
1. Connect the power cord to the Densitometer.
2. Connect the other end of the power cord to a wall outlet.
3. Turn on the power of the Densitometer. The on/off control is a push-button
switch located on the left front of the unit.
At power-on, the front panel indicators flash once. The power indicator then glows and
the ready indicator blinks. When the test is completed, the power and the ready indicators
glow steadily.
The Densitometer performs a self-test for approximately 80 seconds after which the
Densitometer indicator stabilizes. The Transparency Module indicator and the scanning
lamp stay on. If a problem occurs during the self-test, refer to Section 6, Troubleshooting.
