Before you begin

•  The 3M Molecular Detection Instrument Self-Check starts automatically upon power-on and can be started using the 

software. 3M recommends performing the Self-Check each day you use the 3M Molecular Detection Instrument.

•  The Self-Check includes the following tests:

 

– Firmware validity

 

– LED function

 

– Power distribution

 

– Heater function

 

– Photodiode function

 

– Memory integrity check

•  Do the following before starting a Self-Check to prevent failure:

 

–  Ensure that the pluggable heater is installed properly

 

– Remove the 3M Speed Loader Tray from the instrument

 

–  Close the instrument lid 

•  The Self-Check lasts approx. 2 min. During the Self-Check, the instrument status light cycles colors, the power light 

flashes red for a period, and then all lights turn off.

•  If you want to capture the start-up Self-Check result in the software, connect the instrument to the computer and log in 

to the software before turning on the instrument.
