DTP34 DENSITOMETER

Instrument LED Indicator

The LED indicates a variety of instrument operation conditions, such as calibration mode, and operation. Below is a

complete list of all conditions reported by the LED.

Operation Mode

• Solid Green—self-test passed and instrument is ready for use with defined strip.

• Slow Flashing Green—strip reading in progress or waiting to read a strip.

• Fast Flashing Green—strip reading was attempted but the wrong strip was read, or strip was skewed during

reading.

• Flashing Amber/Green—a configuration barcode was scanned and the instrument is waiting for the 2

or 3

barcode pass.

• Fast Flashing Amber/Green—there was an error in recognizing a barcode or the configuration failed. Reread

the entire barcode, starting with the first pass.

Calibration Mode

• Solid Amber—calibration is required before any measurements can be taken.

• Slow Flashing Amber—instrument calibration in progress (strip being read).

• Solid Green after Amber—instrument calibration was successful and instrument is ready for use.

Error/Reset Mode

NOTE: When the instrument is first turned on the LED will be red while it performs its self-tests. The self-

tests will complete in approximately 2 to 3 seconds, at which time it will turn green under normal

conditions.

• Fast Flashing Red—incorrect power supply attached. Verify correct 12-volt power supply is used.

• Slow Flashing Red—a factory reset is in progress.

• Flashing Red/Green— the host firmware loader program is reprogramming the instrument.
