Installation
Welch Allyn TM286 Auto Tymp
Initial set-up
Place the instrument on a stable counter or table where it will be used. The location
should be near a properly grounded wall outlet. Carefully attach purchased accessories to
their appropriately labeled connector on the rear panel of the instrument (see
Locate the power switch on the rear panel of the instrument and move the switch to the
On position. When power is turned on, the light on the LCD will be illuminated and the
orange light on the probe will be lit. The display on the LCD will display a scroll bar across
the top to indicate the system is initializing.
The system will power up to the factory default test mode (to set user-defined power up
setting, see
on page 33) and the probe green lamp will begin to blink
indicating that the instrument is ready to begin the testing. If both the green and yellow
lamps are illuminated at the same time following power on, the probe is occluded or the
tympanogram software did not initialize properly. Simply move the power switch to the off
position, inspect the probe tip for any signs of an occlusion, and reposition the power
switch to On. If both green and yellow lamps are still illuminated and the probe is not
occluded, contact a local service representative or the Welch Allyn service department for
repair. In the mean time, it is still possible to use the Audiometry mode (if purchased).
Allow the instrument to warm-up for about 10 minutes before conducting a test. This
allows the electronic circuits to stabilize prior to use. If the storage temperature is lower
than the room temperature, allow additional time for the instrument to reach room
temperature.
