Humphrey Acuitus 5015 takes 40 minutes to warm up!

on December 2nd, 2011 | Filed under Optoblog, Reviews

The Humphrey Acuitus 5015 autoRfx/AukoK has been the most accurate autoRfx that I’ve worked with, but for a while, it’s been taking 20-30 minutes to warm up. No big deal because I get to work 20 minutes early anyway; however, for the last week it’s been taking 40-45 minutes to warm up!

I read that Humphrey stopped supporting it in 2009. Does anyone know why it would take an autorefractor 45 minutes before it stops snowing on the viewfinder video and allows you to begin using it?

    The fact that your video board is “snowing” means some degradation of some components on the video board. I have been repairing this problem and countless others for three years now.
