Power Requirements For units for use at 110-120 V inside the US: Use a UL listed cord set consisting of a minimum 18 AWG, Type SVT or SIT three conductor cord, maximum 15 feet in length, rated 10 A, 125 V, with a parallel blade, grounding type attachment, plug. The cord set provided by the manufacturer meets these requirements. For units for use at 220-240 V inside the US: Use a UL, listed cord as above, except rated 250 V, with a tandem blade, grounding type attachment plug, ‘The safety classification of this instrumentis Class 1. To avoid therisk of electric shock, the third prong of the AC power plug must be connected to conductive parts internal to the equipment by means of internal toothed solder lugs and stain- less steel screws and nuts marked internally by the IEC 417 symbol 5019 (see margin). DO NOT loosen or remove these screws. 4, Voltage Selection Locate the voltage select switch on the rear panel. Thisis 2 position slide switch that will configure the instrument to accept either 230V or 115V input. Do not connect equipment to the power supply before changing the line voltage selection switch, Warning: To prevent permanent damage to the in- strument, the voltage select switch must be set for the appropriate input voltage prior to powering up. When you can see the 230V label, the instruments set for 230V input. If you plug the instrument into a 115V power supply while 230V is selected, the instrument will have insuf- ficient operating power. To select 115V input, insert a straight screw driver blade (or similar instrument) into the slot on the switch, and slide it intoits alternate position. Upon sliding the switch, you will see the 115V label appear. Warning: If the instrument is configured to accept, 11SV and you plug it in to a 230V power supply, the fuses will biow and permanent damageto theelectron- ics may result. The circuit used should be substantially free of large voltage transients (Kilovolt amp loads) such as large pumps, BUR ra Information given in this manual is restricted for use by authorized personne and is a be used far the sole purpose of providing routine instrument maintenance and repair services.14 large centrifuges, refrigerators and freezers, air conditioners, large autoclaves, ovens, and dryers. The instrument may fail to operate normally if the power supply is interrupted. If this occurs, tun the instrument off for a moment. When you tum the instrument back on, it will resume normal operation, but a standard curve which was not stored in non-volatile memory will be lost. ‘The fuses are located internally in theinstrument; there are two fuses, fusing both sides of the main power supply. Fuse failure is a very rare occurrence and should indicate malfunc- tion of the equipment requiring service by qualified personnel. The fuses used with this instrument are 1/2 Amp Slow blow 250 V 3AG, dimensions 1/4 x 1-1/4” (6.3 x32 mm).

Hardware Description 1. The Chassis The chassis consists of three main elements: 1.1 Cover: The cover is a pressure formed fire-retardant ABS enclosure meeting UL specification 94-0. It is attached to the main chassis with five #4 self-tap screws The cover front panel assembly which it attached to main cover contains the LCD display, the interface circuit board, keyboard assembly (keypads and overlay), and the hatch panel (containing the optional parallel interface.) 1.2. Base: The base supports the rear electronic deck, and is the foundation for the plate transport and photometer mechanisms. 13 Rear Deck or Electronic Support Deck: The deck is the platform mounted on the rearof the base. Itcontains the main circuit board and the electronic support system. It is hinged so that it may be swung back revealing the AC line connections, fuses, and the plate transport mechanism. 2, Plate Transport Mechanism ‘The Plate Transport system consists of three main elements: 2.1 Drive Mechanisms (2):Oneof the twodrivemecha- nisms move the plate in the X or A-H direction, and the other moves it in the Y or 1-12 direction, 22 Position Detection Systems (2): ‘The detection system for each axis consists of one index bracket and two optical gates or opto-switches. 2.3 Carriage Mechanism: ‘The carriage mechanism consists of three linear, ball-bearing slides, the upper carriage, the lower carriage, and the microwell retainer frame for holding the 96 well microwell plate in place while it is transported to the read site. Information given in this manual i restricted for use by authorized personnel and is to be used forthe sole purpose of providing routine instrument maintenance and repair services,2 3. The Photometer Mechanism ‘The photometer mechanism consists of 4 elements: 3.1 The Filter Wheel and Rotation Mechanism: The filter wheel is rotated by asmall DC motorconnected to the wheel by a rubber belt. The wheel speed is software controlled to 4 revolutionsa second. As the wheel turns, the filters mounted in it pass between the light source and the photodetector. When the filter passes through the light beam, the reading is taken, 3.2 FilterWheel PositionDetection System: Optical gates like those used in the Plate Position Detection System are used tocontrol the filter wheel. Normally the infrared light from the LED side of the gate is blocked, but when the small holes in the filter wheel pass by, the light passes through, and the micropro- cessor receives a signal. There are two sets of holes. One set consists of four holes, one at each filter. When one of these holesis detected, the filteris lined up, anda sampleis taken. The other set is only one hole and it is used primarily for synchro- nizing the filter count. 3.3. Light Source: The light source consists of the lamp itself, the diffuser, the lamp aperture block, and the protective glass slide. The light, originating atthe lamp, passes through the diffuser, then through the plate, the glass slide, the aperture block, and then into the photometer. This area is also known as the read site. The lamp and filter wheel motor are connected to the junction PCB with an IDC (Insulation Displacement Con- nector.) 34 Optical Detection System: This sys- tem consists of the interference filters, the light sensitive photodiode, the operation amplifier, diffuser tam (J aed and the position detectors described in section 3.3. Note: The photodiode, and the operational plate slide amplifier are mounted on the photometer PCB. The optical system is connected to the junction PCB using a 14 DIP (Dual In-line Package) connector. photo detector Rev.C lamp bracket a SHOE aperature block filter wheel photometer Pad Information given in this manual i restricted for use by authorized personnel and isto be used for the sole purpose of providing r instrument maintenance and repair services.Rev.C m1 III.

The 2100can printits results outtoanEpson compatible serial printer using the included serial interface port, The data is sent at 2400 baud, No Parity, 8 data bits, and 1 stop bit. The connection requires the custom cable included with the Reader, 2. Optional Equipment 2.1 Parallel Port: Most of the 2100s have a 25 pin female connector on the back of the hatch cover. This connector is a standard parallel port. A cable to a parallel printer can be purchased from any computer store. See the schematic for the pinouts. 22 PC-PlateReader: Thispackageallows thePlate Reader to be controlled from an IBM-PC/Compatible, Using the com- puterkeyboard, the user sets up andruns tests, The datacan then be saved to disk and later imported into a spreadsheet.

Principles of Operation ‘This section of the manual describes the operation and the interaction of the Plate Reader's main systems. Almost all systems are controlled by the Z80 on the main circuit board. 1. Front Panel Electronics 1.1 The Interface Board: All of the systems on the front panel (keyboard, display, and parallel port) are centered around the 2100-100 interface board. The interface board is connected to the main board via a 26 pin double row header cable. Note: Earlier units used a 26 pin DIP cable. 12 The Display:‘The LCD is driven directly off of the Z80 bus. Address decoding is done on the interface board. See the 2100-100 schematic for more information. 1.3. The Keyboard: The keyboard consists of two identi- cal 4X 4 membrane keypads. The large keys are actually made up of the two smaller ones. The software recognizes themas the same key. Ports PBO through PBT provide the key scan input, and ports PCO through PC3 provide the scan output. The keys are connected as shown in the drawing in section V.1. Scanning is performed from PBO to PB7 and reading from PCO to PC3. The input ports (PCO-3) are pulled up by a 10K SIP. 1.4. The Parallel Port: The parallel port uses the 8255 located on the interface board, Both the inputand outputsignals, are buffered through the two 74HC14s located on the interface board. A cable runs from the board to the hatch panel where the connector is located. 2. Normal Carriage Movement Home position is when the carriage is as far left and front asitcan go, In order to sense the home position, the X axis-opto switch must be clear of the X indexing bracket atthe left end of the bracket. The Y axis indexing bracket must move clear of the Y axis opto switch at both ends of its travel. The mechanism must be able to be positioned so that the last well (12th well of the plate) can be put at the read site. This is the slotin the index bracket nearest the front of the Reader.

The Optical Switches: The position of both axes is detected by two nearly identical electro-optical detectors, also referred to as opto-switches, The indexing brackets act to interrupt the light path between the two halves of the switch. The TTL level signal is sent back to the main circuit board to the 8255 PPI and on to the Z80 CPU. The state of the switches is indicated by the 7 segment LED mounted on the main board. Each one of the segments corresponds to one of the gates. Not all segments are used. See section V.3.8. Note: Onearlierunits, four discrete LEDs are used. The indexing bracket has two sets of slots. The thin slots are used to position the wells in the read site and are read by the upper opto switch. The wider slots (located every other well) are read by the shorter opto switch, and are used to verify that the plate transport mechanism is functioning correctly. 3.2. The X Axis Switch: The optical switch for the X axis (left/right) is located on the lower carriage, near the rear center, and can be seen though the large rectangular cutout in the upper carriage. The small circuit board on which the LED and transistors are mounted is attached to the lower carriage by a small angle bracket and spacer. It moves with the carriage. Infrared light from the LED half of the switch, marked “L” on the PCB, shines through index bracket which is mounted on the chassis. The transistor side, which has the black stripe and is marked "T" on the PCB picks up the light from the LED. The connector is on the top edge of the circuit board, and the wires point upwards. Note: Later units have two switches and the ‘earlier ones have only one. 3.3. The Y Axis Switch: The optical switch for the Y axis is mounted on the lower carriage in about the middle of the left side. The ¥ indexing bracket is attached to the frame. Infrared light from the LED half of the switch, marked "L" on the PCB, passes through the movable indexing bracket. The transistor side of the switch which is marked with a black stripe, and labeled "T" on the PCB picks up the light. The connector is on the left edge of the circuit board, wires pointing left 3.4 Electrical Connection: A cable made up of 6 separate wires attached to an IDC connector starts from the main board and runs to the X opto switch, From there it goes to the Y opto switch.

C 4, Plate Transport Mechanisms 4.1 Drive Mechanisms: The two axis movement of the plate (X and ¥ or lefvtight and in/out) is powered by identical low voltage DC motors. Each motor is geared down 32:1 and attached to a pulley which drives a belt. The belts are attached directly to the carriage by a #4-40 screw through a small hole in the belt. The X axis belt is attached to the lower carriage, and the Y axis belt is attached to the frame, Both motors are connected to the main circuit board on the rear deck. From the ‘main circuit board, aten conductor cable travels to the junction board. Four wires from the cable go from the junction board to the motors. The rest go to the photometer assembly. In parallel to both motors is a 10022 1/2 watt resistor. Both resistors are located on the junction board. Note: The earlier units did not have the junction board. The wiring went directly to the motor, and the resistors were located directly on the: motor, Both motors are driven by the 293B driver chip located on the main board. The driver chip is run by the 8255 programmable interface chip, 4.2. Carriage Mechanism: The carriage mechanism con- sists of the linear ball-bearing slides, the upper carriage, the lower carriage, and the retainer frame that holds the microwell plate. The upper position of the carriage extends over the read site and is supported in the center by a mechanical damper. The damper, affixed to the top of the photometer steadies the mechanism when in motion, and reduces mechanical vibration. ‘The retainer frame which holds the microwell plate and moves it to the read site also has damping material in its comers. This holds the plate securely in place while in motion. There should be sufficient clearance between the top of the-plate and the underside of the photometer lamp bracket so that the two donot come in contact. 2100 Service Manual Information given inthis manual i restricted for use by authorized personnel and is o be used forthe sole purpose of providing routine instrument maintenance and repair servicesIv-4 Rev.C 5. Photometer Mechanism The 2100 uses a single channel silicon diode detector to read the light, and a gas-filled lens-end tungsten lamp operated at 6 volts as the light source. The continuously rotating filter wheel (see section IL3) contains four 3 cavity interference filters, and is located inside the photometer housing undemeath the microwell plate. This arrangement greatly reduces problems due to ambient light and allows the open frame structure of the plate transport system. The photometer is operated under microprocessor control. The filter wheel is software controlled to 4 revolutions per second, Infrared opto switches provide commutation (filter identification) using the holes in the edge of the filter wheel. One pair provides a count pulse, and the other provides a home indication. See the timing diagram below: To pin | enn | REED aaie (7 Ir = N58 pind 58 9 Le J Each filter peak is sampled and held and simultaneously converted from an analog signal to adigital absorbance by an exponential capacitor decay circuit and one of the 16 bit counters in the 8253. (See the photometer schematic.) The photometer output is proportional to the power of the light signal whereas the ‘width of the positive phase of the pulse at the 8253 counter chip is proportional tothe absorbance. The resistance across the log cap (simple RC decay) determines the base of the log (10 forabsorbance.) andisused toadjustthe low end absorbance calibration (gain.) Another potentiometer is used to null the offset voltages in the circuits and serves to adjust the hi-end absorbance indications.

C Vel V. Troubleshooting Presented below are some possible problems and their solutions 1, Keyboard Problems 1.1 No keys function. If on power up the LCD functions, the interconnection between the main circuit board and the interface board is OK. If the unit beeps continuously at power-up and no keys func- tion, either the calbe is not plugged in correctly, the keytail is shorted, or there is a stuck key. Unplug each of the keypads to determine which of the keypads is malfunctioning. Check that the tracks are covered downto the insertion point. If the covering has been damaged, insulate it with clear tape. If the problem still persists, massage over the keypad until the beep- ing starts. If necessary, stick the key with a pin to equalize the air pressure inside. If necessary, replace the keypad. 87 36 as Me SCAN DIRECTION 33 KEY SCAN PROCEDURE: m2 Bo Gaaa READ DIRECTION ‘) ALL ZPROES ARE WRITTEN OUT TO PORT B (PORT BIS NORMALLY ZERO) 5B) ANY c».C3 18 LOW THEN ALL ONES ARE WRITTEN TO PORTS.

Arow or column of the keypad does not function Check that the keytails are properly inserted and covered to 1/4" from the end as discussed in section 5.1.1. If a row (horizontal) does not function, check that the low level on the appropriate line of Port B can be transmitted to the desired line of Port C. See the drawing below. It is highly unlikely that a component has failed. It is more likely that a plated through hole on the interface board has failed, Trace the circuit on the board, and replace if necessary. 1.3. The keyboard does not function, and neither does the display. The problem is probably the connection between the interface board and the main board. Make sure that the 26 pin cable is plugged in correctly on both ends. 2. Photometer Problems 2.1 Lamp Low message is displayed Check that the lamp is illuminated and is properly aligned. Select test #186, and the filter voltages will be displayed in the following order:0=405nm, 50nm, 2=600nm, and 3=492nm. Make sure thatall are greater than 2 volts. Ifa particularchannel is low, the filter may be degrading. Replace if less than 1 volt. Make sure the lamp is OK first. 2.2. Wheel does not rotate. Check that the 10 conductor wire that goes from the main circuit board to the junction board is installed properly. If the filter wheel is running, but the filter wheel does not seem to be rotating, check the two rubber belts. If the motor is not tuning then check that the motor has between +5 and +6 volts across the motor terminals. (Make sure that the reader is attempting to read a plate or running test 186) If there is no voltage on the motor, check for a high level on ULN2003, pins 1 and 2. Also check that the 7806 has +6 volts on its output terminal. 2.3 Wheel runs at an uncontrolled rate, Check that the wheel count pulseis being transmitted to the NMIpin of the 280. It should be a narrow, negative spike. Also check that the wheel home pulse is arriving at the 8255 port, Rev.

Mechanism Errors ‘The most commonly encountered problem with the 2100 series of plate readers isa mechanism error. This means thatthe microprocessor was unable to effect the desired movement or that after being moved the plate was determined to be in an incorrectposition, Several aides are available to assist technical personnel in diagnosing and correcting this problem: 1) The location of the last mechanism error isrecorded and can be recalled by running test #188. 2) On the main circuit board is a 7 segment LED display. Each segment shows the state of one of the opto switches. (Note: Only the outer four segments are used.) These LEDs can be used to determine the proper position of the plate. 3) Selecting test #187 allows the operator to single step through the plate by pressing the "enter" key. 3.1 A Note on Mechanism Errors When the display shows -"Mechanism error at PS-W" where PS-W indicates the first invalid plate, strip, and well respectively, the instrumentisalerting the operator to difficulty getting tothe proper location in the allotted time, This message is generally indicative of restriction in free movement or of failure of component(s) in the drive train. See also: the operators manual, section on mechanical control, Although component failure is rare, mechanism failure or degradation is usually caused when parts come loose, or the shipping screw is not used when shipping the machine. Most failures can be readily fixed by doing in-the-field adjustments. ‘Typical problem areas are pinion gears, spur gears, gear shafts, belt clamps or any part under stress when shipped. To install the shipping screw, first move the carriage to the home position. When installing the screw make sure that itdoes not bend or put pressure on the lowere carriage bracket. 3.2. The Pinion Gear Problems occur when the pinion gear to motor shaft contact slips. Either the gear slips off the motor shaft or the motor shaft without turning the his is us Eade Information given in this manual is restricted for use by authorized personnel and is to be used forthe sole purpose of providing routine instrument maintenance and repair services,v4 noticed when the instruments first tumed on as a fast whirring noise is heard and mechanism movement on one axis is absent. Ifthe fit of the pinion gear on either the X or Y motor shaft feels loose or can be readily pulled or slid with finger nail pressure from the motor shaft, thread the hole inside the pinion gear with a 2-56 tap and replace the gear by pushing on the shaft with finger pressure. As with all gears, whenever testing fit, remov- ing, or replacing gears, do not touch gear teeth with any kind of tool, ordamage to the teeth will occurresultingin gear meshing noise. If, especially after fitting new gears, aloud sawing sound, appears to be coming from the pinion gear meshing with the combination gear, adjust the mesh by loosening the motor attachment screws and move the motor so the backlash gives the least amount of noise. A small gap between gears is desirable. Do not leave so small a gap that gear is slowed due to extra friction, 3.3. The Drive Train Problems occur when drive train backlash is excessive. Usually this occurs when either the pulley to gear contact or the belt to carriage contact is loose. Excessive backlash is usually noticed when grabbing the carriage with one hand while either applying medium pressure tomove the carriage and holding the pinion gear stationary with the other hand or when applying light pressure, with spur gears which come loose on timing pulleys (#2-56 screws), 3.4 The Belt Clamp Problems with a belt clamp which comes loose (i#4-40 1/4" screw and FW). Other problems occur when for example the shipping screw is left in or out at an inappropriate time, or the customer disassembles more than is necessary, or one part or another comes loose in shipment. 3.5 Belt Tension Ifthere isa problem with belt tension, « loud popping noise may be heard when the mechanism reaches the normal end of its travel in either the X or the ¥ direction. ACH belt: This belt is located at the rear and may be adjusted by loosening the (2) screws below the left idler pulley bracket. Adjust the tension by moving the bracket accordingly. 1-12 belt: Loosen the (2) screws holding the motor drive assembly and slide it according to the desired tension adjust- ment.

C | | x Odaiven ff ¥ Odd/Even + 3.6 Mechanism error "out of the box." The model 2100's are shipped from the factory with a shipping screw to hold the plate transport mechanism during shipment, This screw, located on the bottom of the machine must be removed before using the reader. Ifthe screw is still in place a mechanism error will be indicated by the message "MECHANISMERROR AT ."Normally the message would indicate the well at which the error occurred. However, since the screw is blocking all motion, the message will be displayed without a location, 3.7 Mechanism errors at the ends of plate. If a mechanism error occurs repeatedly at well 12 or H, there is a good chance that the bearing race within a transport guide has moved such that it is obstructing the plate movement at its extremes.. This problem is simply corrected. Note the “plate can't get home -- move plate left” is an indication of this condition. The bearing race may be re-positioned without removing thecoverby moving the plate frame manually through itsrange. For example, if well 12 cannot be read, move the plate frame toward the back of the machine until a resistance is felt, then push harder until the motion resumes. Continue pushing until a hard stop is felt, The race is now re-positioned. If well H cannot be read, perform this procedure by pushing the transport bed right until the resistance is felt. Alternately, the race may be moved by holding the plate frame and pushing the race back with a thin screwdriver. 3.8 Randomly located mechanism errors Ifmechanism errors occur atrandom locations onthe plate, a more detailed analysis is required. Remove the cover of the machine per the cover removal procedure in section 1.5. Set the cover to one side orto the back Jeaving the cable to the interface board attached to the main PC board. Move the plate holder by hand through its range of motion. Feel for any mechanical resistance over the range. Itis possible that a fastener has worked loose or that a wire is snagging at some place, Next, note the proper indication on the 7 segment LED. The function of each segment is shown in the margin, Eades Infor ingirament maintenance and repair services _iven inthis manual is estricted for use by authorized personnel and isto be used forthe sole purpose of providing routinev6 Note: Earlier units have four discrete LEDs. They are read left to right as follows: 1) ¥ axis (1-12) well indicator Off=on well 2) ¥ axis (1-12) odd/even Well 1=on, 2 off etc 3) X axis (A-H) odd even well A=off,B=on etc 4) X axis (A-H) well indicator Off=on well As the plate is moved, each LED should function accord- ingly. Failure of any LED to light/extinguish at the proper position will result in a mechanism error. Note: the well indicator is position sensitive and a slight overshoot will cause this indicator to light. This is normal. If any LED fails, check the connectors located at each sensor board. Pay careful atien- tion to the insertion of the wires into the connectors. A wire that isnot fully inserted (displaced) will cause a problem. Compo- nent failure is highly unlikely. Most of the time, the problem is probably a faulty mechanical connection or mounting. Check thatno sensor pair has been mechanically disturbed. Check the voltages at the connector on the main PC board. As the IR LEDs are connected in series (2 each), an openin the interconnect will result in lighted LEDs for either both odd/detectors or both position detectors. The straight through (unobstructed) phot. transistor voltage should be less than 0.5 volts. 4, Drive mechanism problems Check that the motor pinion gear has not worked off the shaftor along the shaft and disengaged from the 2nd stage gear. Press the pinion back on the shaft and if necessary spot with a small amount of thread locker or similar rapid bond adhesive. ‘Take care to use a sparing amount such that itdoes not wick into the motor. There isa possibility thatoverly tight belt tension will stall the drive, The belts should be modestly deflectable~if they pop on the return to home position they are too loose. ‘There have been afew cases where shipping the instrument without the shipping screw installed has resulted in the A-H drive pulley shaft mount (press fastener) pulling from the bracket. The shaft should extend straight from the bracket and not lean. If pulled loose, remove the assembly by loosening the 2 mounting screws through the base then remove the shat. Using a vise, press the fastener back into place.

C VI. Alignment 1. ANote on Alignment Critical to high end performance (>2.0 absorbance units) is the proper alignment of the plate transport system and photometer assembly. Any time the photometer assembly is moved, this alignment procedure must be performed. How- ever, the mechanical alignment should not change once set. 2. Lamp and Lamp Assembly Alignment The lamp should always be positioned to illuminate the lamp aperture and screen evenly. Further the body of the lamp must point straight down.” Caution: ‘The lamp may be hot. Do not allow it to contact the diffusion screen.-(See the lamp replacement procedure.) If the lamp does not point vertically down, it may be aimed by grasping the lamp lightly witha pair of needle nose pliers and then bending the leads to achieve the desired orientation. Itis also necessary thatthe lamp aperture be positioned directly over the photometer entrance aperture. If it is not evenly illuminating the lamp plate aperture, align it by loosening the lamp bracket screws moving the lamp bracket until even filling is achieved. Tighten the screws. A significant misalignment of any of these will deteriorate the > 2.0 abs performance. The lamp aperture plates have alignment holes, such that aod (either 09 or .12 od) may be passed through the lamp aperture plate and into the photometer housing in order to check this alignment. 3. Plate Transport Alignment Alignment of the plate transport system is accomplished by moving the photometer assembly so that the lamp beam/ photometer entrance lies on a vertical line passing through the center of the well. For the following steps it will be necessary to use the test plate available from Awareness Technology or a modified standard plate, The plate must to altered to reduce the light passing through the wells to a small dot in the center of several wells. This may be achieved by inserting washers or using a marking pen to color the bottoms of the wells leaving only the centers open. Use the wells in the center of the plate for this alteration. ~ Insert the test plate or the modified regular plate into the 2100 Service Manual Information giver instrument maintenance and repair services this manual is restricted for use by thorized personnel and is to be used forthe sole purpose of providing routineV2 plate holder frame, Place the unit in the single step mode by selecting test #187. If necessary then select the absorbance mode using any filters. Press the READ button. The instrument will than move the plate to read well A-1, Advance the plate to the center of the plate by using the Enterkey as required. When one of the occluded wellsis parked at the photometer observe the illumination of the photometer entrance. The circle of lighton the entrance should be centered. If not ,loosen the (3) photometer hold down screws (See fig. PLATE ALIGNMENT). Move the photometer such that the entrance is centered in the illumination, Tighten the screws. Move to the next well. Check and repeat. 4, Checking the Readings As a final check on the alignment, prepare a Dri-Dye Check Strip or prepare a dilution of a material that reduces to approximately 2.0 abs. Read the Dri-Dye as specified in the package insert. Compare the results to the expected values, Next turn the plate around, repeat the readings. They should agree to within +/- 1% +.005 abs. This must be especially true at the 2.0 abs end. Any significant deviations at the high ends indicates unacceptable alignment. Rev.
