2. Instrument maintenance
2.1 Instrument cleaning
The instrument does not require any routine maintenance. Clean the surface of the instrument with
conventional disinfectants. Do not use organic solvents. Clean the optic only with a dry brush without
using organic solvents.
2.2. Regular check
Tools: calibration plate ND-52-13
calibration plate ND-52-14
To check the correct function, please control the reading positions with the calibration plate
ND-52-13. Choose any wavelength for the measurement. The measured value in all positions should
not exceed OD 0.2. Use the calibration plate ND-52-14 to control the optical paths. Compare the OD
values with the calibration sheet supplied with the calibration plate.
If the results are different, make the settings in the following chapter.
3. Instrument settings
3.1. Settings of drive mechanics and optics
Tools: calibration plate ND-52-15
- loosen the screws for mounting the optics block and the travel rail (see Pic. 1 and Pic. 2)
- insert the calibration plate into the frame, then insert the thorns through the holes in the plate in the
openings for the first and last optical channel (see Pic. 3)
- tighten the screws for mounting the optic block and the travel rail

3.2. Correction settings for home position and carousel
- run the Dynlab SW
- go to the card Photometer Control - Fotometr Status
- rotate the carousel manually from the rear to the right to the mechanical stop and subtract the
current coordinate „Carousel Position“ (see Pic. 4).
Pic. 4
- run the „Components Control“ -> „Parameters“ -> load file – select the file and open the iparams
- on the card „Motors Calculation“ subtract the current offset „Offset Carousel“
- calculate the new value of the correction according to the formula:
Current coordinate „Carousel Position“ – 80 + current correction „Offset Carousel“

7
- assign the new calculated correction into the „Offset Carousel“ (see Pic. 5)
Pic. 5
3.3. Settings of carousel coordinates for each LED
- run the Dynlab SW
- go the card „Photometr Scan“
- run the „Carousel scan“
- in the graph, subtract the coordinates of the intersection of the weakest channels for the individual
LEDs (see Pic. 6)

8
Pic. 6
- run the „Components Control“ -> „Parameters“ -> load file – select the file and open photometer
iparams
- go to the „LED Coordinates“ and put the coordinates into the appropriate positions (see Pic. 7)
Pic. 7
3.4. Settings the reading positions
Tools: calibration plate ND-52-13

9
- run the Dynlab SW
- go to the „Photometer Control“ -> „Photometer Scan“
- insert the calibration plate ND-52-13 into the instrument
- run „Plate scan“
- in the graph, subtract the value between the leading edge of the sensor and the peak of the curves
for individual series A to H (see Pic. 8)
Pic. 8
- run „Components Control“ -> „Parameters“ - load file – select the file and open the photometer
iparams
- enter the values in the appropriate positions in the „SLS“ (see Pic. 9)

4. Replacement or addition of LEDs with appropriate wavelength
4.1. Addition of the wavelength
- insert the cartridge with the appropriate wavelength into the carousel to the free position, secure
with the locking screw and connect the connector (see Pic. 10)
Pic. 10
- run the Dynlab SW -> „Components Control“ -> „Parameters“ -> load file – select the file and open
the photometer iparams
- on the card „LED Wavelength“, assign the added wavelength to the appropriate position
- run the „Carousel scan“ and subtract the coordinate of the carousel for the added wavelength (see
chapter 3.3) and put this coordinate into the card „LED coordinates“
4.2. Replacement of LED with the same wavelength
- loosen the locking screw in the carousel, disconnect the connector and remove the LED cartridge
- insert the new LED cartridge into the same position
- run the Dynlab SW -> „Components Control“ -> „Parameters“ -> load file – select the file and open
the photometer iparams
- run the „Carousel scan“ and subtract the coordinate of the carousel for the changed wavelength (see
chapter 3.3) and put this coordinate into the card „LED coordinates“

6. Error codes and signaling
6.1. Photometer status
The photometer status is signalled on the front panel by LED.
Particular states – LED flashes green no selftest is performed
LED illuminated green selftest performed without errors
LED illuminated red error found during selftest
6.2. Error identification
- run the Dynlab SW -> „Set debug windows“
- run the selftest
- the errors identified in the selftest are shown in the bottom left window (see Pic. 11). Identification
of the errors according to the table.

7. Firmware upgrade
Upgrading the firmware or segments of program can only be done after release of a higher version
from the manufacturer.
7.1. Firmware upgrade
- run the Dynlab SW -> „Instrument Memory“ – select the firmware location and start upgrading
7.2. Segments upgrade
- place new segments into the folder :C\Dynlabfoto\segments
- connect a photometer to a PC
- run the program Dynlab -> Flash
