Introduction

This chapter discusses basic operation of

Explorer is a menu based system. Four

menus contain all the functions to control the operation of the instrument.

By working through this chapter, you will familiarize yourself with the basic
operation of the instrument.

User and Supervisor Modes

In order to customize the user interface for both simplified field operation and at
the same time retain the powerful chromatographic features,

Explorer supports two

modes of operation: user mode and supervisor mode.

In user mode, some of the more advanced features are hidden. This simplifies
operation of the instrument for field use.

In supervisor mode, all the user mode commands are available and advanced method
development features are accessible.

A password is required to change from user mode to supervisor mode. The password
is factory set to 12344321 and cannot be changed.

Fixed Keys

The four keys, located to the left of the display, each have a fixed function and are
called the fixed keys. The top key is the On/Off key, the next key is Start Stop, the
third key is Enter Menu and the bottom key is Exit.

The On/Off key is used to turn

Explorer power on and off. You will be

prompted before the instrument shuts down to prevent accidental power
off.
The Start Stop key starts or stops a GC or TVOC analysis.
