To increase or change a displayed value or scroll through options forward [Setup/Enter] Enters the Setup parameters (Supervisor Menus) Enters a function or saves a value while manually entering unit weight or check weighing limits To advance a flashing digit by one position to the right.
5.0 REAR PANEL INTERFACES The rear panel has connectors for the data interface, fuse holder, security lock location and power supply input. 5.1 POWER Make certain your analyzer is compatible with the mains power supply in your area. If the voltage is not the same the analyzer can be damaged. Contact your supplier if you require assistance. The fuse should only be replaced with a time lag type fuse of the correct current rating. The fuse is a standard 5 x 20mm size.
The USB Host is designed to allow a USB memory device to be used as an external memory for the analyzers. The set-up parameters for operation and test procedures can be stored and up-loaded from the memory device. Results of drying test can be stored in the USB memory device. See sections 6.5 and 9.0 for further details on using the USB Host with a memory device. Adam Equipment supply AdamDU Data Collection software that will allow the user to use the full capabilities of the data interfaces.
6.0 BASIC OPERATION When first turned on the analyzer will act as a basic balance showing grams weight on the display. If a passcode has been set to limit access to the weighing functions of the analyzer the display will show “PASSCODES”. The display will change to show 7 digits set to zero with the rightmost digit flashing. Use the numeric entry method (see section 4.1) to enter the code. Make sure to enter the correct passcode to continue. See the Section 10.1.4 for details.
Heat Control • Single temperature, heat to a set temperature. • Ramp to temperature, Ramp to final temperature in a user set time. • Step temperature, heat to Temp 1, for X minutes, then temp 2 for X minutes, then Temp 3 for X minutes. A maximum of 3 steps can be used. Set temperatures as required for these options. 50-160ºC. For Ramp set the time to final temperature. For Step set the temperature and the time at each step. Interval Set the time interval at which the results are computed and printed.
• Time, Test ends at the end of a preset time. • Stable result, test ends if the results are stable within a value set by the user. • Time or stable result, combines both methods. Stop whichever occurs first, a stable result or the end of a preset time. For timed test the user sets a time of typically 5 minute to 99 minutes Set stable results criteria. The test will stop when the weight changes less than a preset amount in a preset time. The default setting is 0.002g in 15 seconds for PMB 53, and 0.

11.0 SERIAL INTERFACE The analyzers have the ability to send or receive data over the serial interface. Using either the RS-232 or the USB serial interface. The weighing data can be sent over the interface either automatically or when the user presses the [Print] key. The user has control over what data is to be printed. 11.1 RS-232 HARDWARE The RS-232 interface is a simple 3 wire connection.
The drivers for the USB interface are available from the Adam Equipment web site. Go to www.adamequipment.com. Download the software and activate the install program, follow the instructions to install the software. Once the software is installed the PC will list a new COMM port for use with programs or applications such as AdamDU or other terminal programs. 11.3 INPUT COMMANDS The analyzer can be controlled with the following commands sent using remote keys such as from a PC.
A typical test report will look as: MOISTURE TEST FILE NAME: RES00032 DATE: 13/12/2008 TIME: 09:38:07 SER NO: AE12345678 Heading File name used by analyzer to store result From Analyzer Serial number TEST NO: _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ USER NO: 9876543210 Preset: PST 05 Bread-4 Result: Heating: Temp: Rapid Interval: Stop: Start: A blank line for users to fill in a number if they wish. User number Preset method if used.
After the test has finished the user can print either the complete test again or only a summary by pressing the [Print] key before returning to normal weighing. The complete report is a copy of the data as shown above. If the summary report is selected then the following is printed. Similar to the above except without the interval readings.
11.5 ANALYZER CONFIGURATION THROUGH THE SERIAL INTERFACE The analyzer can use the serial interface to set parameters for weighing test and for analyzer configuration. The parameters are set by sending a line of data that has the description and the setting desired. It is possible to create a text file that contains all the data necessary to set he test conditions for a particular test (or analyzer configuration) and send this to the analyzer. The commands are not case sensitive, i.e.
Care must be used as some commands depend upon others to be effective, For example sending a command for setting the heat to use a ramp but not sending a temperature or time to use may cause incorrect operation if they are not set to reasonable values. The current settings can be printed or observed as described in sections 6.1.2 and 6.3. 11.5.2 ANALYZER SETUP PARAMETERS The parameters related to analyzer configuration are listed below.
When the analyzer receives a valid command, it will return the message E0. But if an invalid input command is received, then the command is returned as followsMessage returned Remarks 11.5.3 E1 The analyzer can not recognise this command. E2 String length is not right. i.e. key beeper=20 E3 String exceeds range. i.e. key beeper=2 E4 The string contains non-numeric character. i.e. key beeper=a E5 You do not have the authority to use this commands.
11.6 CONTINUOUS OUTPUT The analyzer can use the interface to send the weight only to the output. This setting is configured in the Serial Communications parameters, see section 10.1.1. When the output is set for Continuous the test reports are not printed during a drying test and test results are not stored. The weight will be [printed using the time interval set with the Continuous parameters, from 01 to 99 seconds.

14.0 SAMPLE PREPARATION Sample preparation is the single most important item for accurate results. The sample must be prepared so the whole of the sample is heated uniformly and the moisture is near the surface of the material. For powders no further preparation is necessary. For most other materials the sample should be ground, chopped, grated or otherwise made as fine as possible. Liquids or paste may need to be spread onto glass fibre pads to distribute them evenly and thinly.
Some plastics also are not suitable for this type of method due to the very low percent moisture and the heat required to extract this moisture. KNOW THE MATERIAL In addition it is important to know enough about the materials so that you do not endanger or inconvenience others. For example some solvents have very low flash points that are not suitable for drying with heat sources that can reach 100ºC.
15.0 GUIDANCE NOTES The following guide notes are offered as examples of temperature, display update time and expected results when drying various substances. The preparation, distribution and amount of product can all significantly effect the results. It is important to find suitable procedures to process the material, usually by trial and error. In general it is recommended that a temperature of 100ºC, a time interval of 10 seconds, and a sample sized 3-8g be selected for initial test.
