5.0 Main Menu Selections
5.1 Calibration
Power On
When the unit is powered on, the following “Ready
Menu”will display after a few seconds:
Verifier Ready
XXX Aperture: YY
XXX = indicates the wavelength (color) of the
light represented in nanometers
YY = indicates the aperture size in mils
Example:
660 Aperture: 10
This display indicates that the installed Auto Optic
uses red light at 660 Nanometer wavelength and a
10 mil diameter aperture size.
Press Enter and Select at the same time to bring up the
Main Menu:

Verifying that Unit is Calibrated
Selecting CALIB sets up the mode to measure
reflectance. This also allows you to check the calibration
of the unit by placing the Auto Optic on the RJS
Calibration Plaque (P/N 002-7410), white or black fields,
and verifying that the reflectance value matches the
stated values.
Verify that reflectance values are within 2% for white and
2% for black. If the values are not within these
tolerances you need to calibrate the unit; otherwise,
press Enter and Select at the same time to navigate
back to the Main Menu.
Calibrating the Unit
After selecting Calib from the main menu, the reflectance
menu will display.
D4000A Ver x.xx
Reflectance XX%
From the reflectance menu press Enter, the Calibrate
menu will display:
Calibrate
When the “Calibrate”menu is displayed, proceed with
the following calibration steps:
Place Optics on
White/Enter Key
Place the Auto Optic on the white section of the
calibration plaque with the inspection hole in the bottom
of the Plexiglas plate flat against the surface. Press

Enter and hold auto-optic scanner head still until you
hear a “chirp”sound.
Place Optics on
Black/Enter Key
Place the Auto Optic on the black section of the
calibration plaque with the inspection hole in the bottom
of the Plexiglas plate flat against the surface. Press
Enter and hold auto-optic scanner head still until you
hear a “chirp”sound.
When both light and dark have been calibrated the
following screen will display:
Calibrated
Reflectance XX%
Verify that the unit is calibrated by again placing the Auto
Optic on the light or dark area of the plaque.
The reflectance % value will display. Reflectance values
should be within 2% (of the known value of the plaque)
for white and 2% (of the known value of the plaque) for
black.
If the “Unable to Calibrate”screen displays, repeat the
calibration.
Unable to
Calibrate
Note:
Power drain is greatest in the calibration mode. The
automatic shut-off feature is disabled in calibration mode.
Once the unit is calibrated, the calibration data will
remain in memory; however, you should calibrate the unit
at the beginning of each day or each shift for the proper
PCS readings.
