OPERATING INFORMATION
General
POWER UP
When power is applied to the 6040 mainframe with a 106C, 155 or 130 module installed, the instrument
settings from the module's memory 0 are activated. The mainframe automatically checks what type of
plug-in module is in place and loads the appropriate parameters. The LCD, after showing the
mainframe's software version number and performing a memory check, will display "106C Ver. x.x" (or
“155 Ver. X.x” or "130 Ver. x.x") where "x.x" is the version number of the module.
Module Installation
The module must be installed with mainframe power off. A module can be damaged or have its
memory corrupted if inserted or removed from the mainframe with the power on. To install the module,
simply slide it in and tighten the mount screw knob.
Safety Precautions
Laser light emitted from the end of the connected light fiber is invisible. Fibers should be terminated in a
system which will not allow human exposure to this radiation. Do not stare into the beam or into a beam
from a reflecting surface. Use of controls or adjustments or performance procedures other than those
specified herein may result in hazardous exposure. Safety labels attached to the module are shown in
Figure 2-1.
Always keep the LIGHT OUT connector covered with the dust cap when a fiber is not attached in order to
avoid hazardous exposure and to keep the connector as clean as possible.
Warm Up Requirements
No warm up period, other than that necessary for the mainframe itself, is required.
TROUBLESHOOTING
Follow the procedure in the Troubleshooting section of the 6040 manual. Make sure that the module is
seated correctly in the mainframe. If the module's memory has been corrupted, a cold boot will put the
module's default settings (given below) into effect (as described in the Cold Boot paragraph in the 6040
manual).
