2.0 OPERATION

2.1 TURNING ON THE ANALYZER FOR THE FIRST TIME

Set your analyzer in a well ventilate room and away from any flammable substances. Ensure that you

are using the correct voltage for the analyzer. The voltage is shown on the back of the unit.

The master on /off switch is located on the back. To turn on

the unit press the on / off switch at the rear of the analyzer,

the display will show the serial number and software revision

before starting its self test sequence. The display will show

zero weight accompanied by the 0 symbol. There is a

power button on the front that turns the screen off and sets

the analyzer into standby mode.

It is a good idea to let the analyzer achieve a stable internal temperature before use – normally 30-60

min warm up time is advisable.

A stable sign ~ is shown when the analyzer is in stable

condition. It will turn off if the analyzer is not stable. Exact

zero is shown when the “0 “ symbol is on to the left of the

display area.

NOTE: If a passcode has been set to limit access to the weighing functions the display will show

“PASSCODES”. The display will change to show 7 digits set to zero with the rightmost digit flashing. Use

the keypad to enter the secure code. See Supervisors Menu to see how to set the security code.

2.2 SETTING THE TEST PROCEDURE

The analyzer can be set up via the keypad, recalled from memory (internal or USB), or via a PC using

the RS232 or USB. For information on using the computer interface for communicating with the

analyzer please consult the full manual. Information on using the USB can be found under the section

USING THE USB.

The PMB can perform 4 types of moisture tests:

 % moisture =100 x ((initial mass - dry mass)/initial mass)

 % solid =100 x (dry mass/initial mass)

 % moisture vs. dry weight =100 x ((initial mass - dry mass)/dry mass) Also called ATRO Moisture

 % solid vs. dry weight = 100 x (initial mass/dry mass) Also called ATRO Solid

ATRO Moisture or Solid tests are special applications specific to some industries. %Moisture and

%Solid are the more common calculations.
