Using the System
Powering Up the System
Set the black power switch on the back of the system to the ON (I)
position. Once plugged in to a wall outlet and the black power switch
on the back of the system is placed in the ON (I) position, the
GelDoc-It
TS2
and ChemiDoc-It
TS2
systems are always powered on.
Press the POWER button on the front of the
system to power on the internal
computer/touch screen. Once the computer
completely boots, the TS2 software will load automatically.
The POWER button will illuminate blue when the internal computer
and touch screen are on. (Note: The black main power switch on the
back of the unit must be in the ON (I) position in order for the internal
computer and touch screen to function.)
The Power Indicator Lights on the front of the
unit indicate when the system’s main power and
ultraviolet illumination are on. Main Power will illuminate green when
the black main power switch on the back of the unit is in the ON (I)
position (this does not indicate that the internal computer or touch
screen are on). Ultraviolet On will illuminate red when ultraviolet
illumination is active within the darkroom.
Note: It is recommended to leave the power switch on the back of the system in the ON position except
when the system will not be used for an extended period of time (one day or longer).
Preparing the Transilluminator for Use
1. Open the darkroom door and turn on the main power switch located on the front of the transilluminator.
Place this switch in the ON (I) position. (Note: It is recommended to always leave this power switch on
the ON (I) position.)
2. Use the rotary knob on the front of the transilluminator to select from the available lighting wavelengths
or intensities (transilluminator settings vary by model).
Note: The GelDoc-It
TS2
and ChemiDoc-It
TS2
systems integrate a UV interlock switch which will inactivate all
UV when the darkroom door is open. This switch is located on the upper right corner of the darkroom door
opening and is only accessible when the door is open. To override the UV interlock, pull out on the switch.
The switch will automatically reset after the darkroom door is closed.
Caution: UV Transilluminators are powerful sources of UV radiation which will cause damage to
unprotected eyes and skin. Before overriding the UV interlock, be sure all personnel in the area are properly
protected, including proctective eyewear and clothing.
Refer to the transilluminator manual for additional instructions on using the transilluminator.
