Step 3
Press the test button. The CAL
graphic will disappear and one
segment will remain displayed.
The instrument has now
calibrated itself against the clean
sample and is ready to test the oil
in your system.
Note: Ensure that the CAL knob is
not pressed as this will put the
instrument back into calibration
mode and the unit will need to be
re-calibrated.
3.2
Cleaning of sensor
Remove the unused sample from
the sensor cell with a clean rag or
tissue. Clean the sensor by using
a contact cleaner solution
(penetrating, fast-evaporating,
non-residue solution), such as
LoctiteTM 7070.
3.3
Measuring
For optimum results make sure
you use a representative oil
sample and that its temperature is
not higher than 40 °C (100 °F).
Place enough oil in the sensor to
fully cover the sensor surface.
Press the test button and keep it
depressed for 10 seconds or until
the segments have stopped
moving around the display (the
display will flash to show the unit
is testing). The result will remain
on the display when the button is
released until the next test is
carried out.
