CHAPTER 3 ORIGINAL EXPOSURE SYSTEM
D. Initial Activation
The fluorescent lamp is turned on when the control panel power switch is turned on for the
following:
[1] To stabilize the inside of the fluorescent lamp in the shortest time possible.
[2] To check the intensity by the light intensity sensor to determine pre-heat voltage.

The fluorescent lamp is assumed to have reached a
level appropriate to activation when the temperature
around it reaches 70˚C, and the pre-heat voltage is
increased to prepare for activation.
Purpose of the Intensity Check
[1] To determine an optimum level
for pre-heat voltage.
[2] To find out the remaining life of
the fluorescent lamp (approx.).
