What has to be one in case ! nee to &rint out the "easure"ent results?
In order to print out the results connect the printer to"ards the analyzer $ia t"o cables/ interface cable and
po"er cable )*+ and s"itch on the printer.
&he "ay of connecting is sho"n on the scheme in the @peration manual. If you prepare cables yoursel$es or
"ant to connect another printer, they ha$e to correspond to those, pointed out in the manual.

!=#e seen on the site that both "oels LACTOSCAN S an LACTOSCAN SA look in one an the
sa"e way1 What is the i%%erence between the 8 "oels?
&he biggest difference bet"een the t"o models ?%3&@S3%N S and ?%3&@S3%N S% is the cleaning system.
?%3&@S3%N S is "ith one peristaltic pump for the measuring system, "hile ?%3&@S3%N S% is "ith t"o peristaltic
pumps ' one dealing "ith the measuring system and the second one for the cleaning, "hich allo"s S% to be
automatically cleaned "ithout the operatorEs interference.
What is the nor"al &ower su&&ly %or the analyzer?
In normal mode, the analyzer is po"ered by a S"itching %dapter "ith output $oltage )*+. If the de$ice is
po"ered by another source, for e<ample car battery, a $oltage, suitable for the adapter has to be ensured. In case of
doubts about the correct "ork of the analyzer, measure "ith a multimeter the $alue of the $oltage. It can be done
"ithout dismounting the analyzer, but using the coupling for connection of the outer printer. It is ne<t to the po"er
supply couplingA in fact they are * parallel couplings.
A%ter the analyzer is &owere: there is no in%or"ation on the is&lay1 How can ! check the
correctness o% work %or the se&arate "oules?
If after s"itching on the analyzer there is no information on the display, possible reasons for this could be/
&here is no po"er supply for the analyzer (may be checked "ithout opening the bo< of the analyzer!.
Hroken ?3D module or no connection "ith ?3D ,3H (in the $ersion of the analyzers "ith such ,3H! or "ith the
5ain,3H (in the L?ightM $ersions of the analyzers. In this case/ check the cables and their connections bet"een the
?3D module and its control ,3Hs and ad.ustment of the couplings bet"een them. &his procedure is done "ith
disconnected po"er supply and open bo< of the de$ice.
Hroken module 5ain ,3H. %fter s"itching on the po"er supply, in normal state the 5ain ,3H s"itches on the
pump in order to suck out e$entually left from the sample residues. ,ay attention "hether this happens (you ha$e to
hear the noise from the "orking pump!. ,ossible reason for this can be problem in the 5ain ,3H or in the pump. &his
may be checked "ithout opening. If this step is successfully fulfilled, ne<t information for the state of the analyzer is
the sound signal, "hich is heard simultaneously "ith sho"ing on the display the message L%nalyzer CeadyM. If the
analyzer has such a signal, it means that the 5ain ,3H is "orking and then you ha$e to check its connection "ith the
?3D ,3H or "ith the ?3D module for the L?ightM $ersion. If this sound signal is not heNrd, then you ha$e to open the
analyzer and then to s"itch on the po"er supply. 3heck the * ?-Ds and if one of them lights constantly for more than
*-8 seconds, "ithout ob$iously changing its light intensity, the analyzer has to be s"itched off and send to the
nearest ser$ice center for repair. If these tests are successful, the reason for not "orking de$ice is in the ?3D ,3H.
Hroken module ?3D ,3H. %s there are not outer indicators for the state of this ,3H, you ha$e to check cables
and couplings, connecting this ,3H "ith the rest of the modules.
A%ter switchin$ on the &ower su&&ly is&lay shows only >lc #ers 00? an sto&s1 What
coul be the &ossible reason?
&he possible reason for this is that thereEs no connection bet"een the t"o basic modules of the analyser ' 5ain ,3H and
?3D ,3H. ,ossible problem "ith the 5ain ,3H module (check it according the instruction abo$e!. If you are sure that the 5ain ,3H is
"orking correctly, open the analyzer and check the cables and couplings bet"een both ,3Hs.

We ha#e a &roble" when connectin$ LACTOSCAN "ilk analyzer to a PC @ what is the reason?
In the process of production connection bet"een ?actoscan and computer type IH5 ,3 on CS*8*
is a must, i.e. it is not possible the de$ice to be produced "ithout "orking CS *8* communication. &he
possible reasons for occurring problems in communication are as follo"s/
&he analyzer is "ith Net Number different from 7. In order to speed up the communication "ith the computer,
on principle, all soft"are tools for "ork "ith the computer are de$eloped "ith Net Number 7. &he operator has to
check the number of the analyzer and to set it to 7 using the current program or using the procedure, described in
the analyzerEs @peration 5anual.
&he cable, used for connection is "ith diagram, different of the described in the operation manual. &he
operator has to use either original cable, production of the company-producer or to make it using this diagram. &his
cable has to be connected to"ards port "ith inscription CS*8* at the back panel of the analyzer.
&he 3@5 port of the analyzer, "here the cable "as connected, "as not correctly chosen. &he Des top type
computers are "ith embedded * ports ' numbered ) and *. &he possibility is cable to be connected to"ards one port
and the other to be pointed out in the program. If the ports are not numbered on the computer, change the coupling
or point out another number in the program.
Incorrect installation of 0SH to CS*8* con$erter, "hen used computer type ?aptop, "ith out embedded serial
ports. %fter completion of such installation, using StartD>SettingsD>3ontrol ,anel the operator must check "hether
8
the con$erter is correctly installed as 3@5) or 3@5*, in other case the port "ill not "ork. ,ossible reason for this can
be incorrect installation or incompatibility of the computerEs chipset and con$erter. In such case more information
from the con$erterEs producer is needed.
%$ailable another, constantly "orking program (or $irus!, "hich occupies the chosen communication port.
,lease, ask your system administrator to determine the "orking capacity of the communication ports of your ,3 using
system tools like establishing communication bet"een t"o computers $ia 3@5 ports. @nly after you are con$inced
that the ports of your computer function problem free you may pass to the concrete test of the connection "ith the
analyzer using the current program.
?oosen connections on the cableOcoupling connecting the rear panel of the analyzer "ith the main ,3H,
situated in the de$ice ' you may check it only "ith analyzer opened. ,ossible reasons for this may be $ibrations
during transportation of de$ice to the customer.
