For optimal operation, the base of the package holder should always have a layer of water for
improved transfer of the ultrasound energy to the liquid in the package. For the correct amount of
water, tilt the package holder forward by turning the tilt knob to position 3 (small can icon). Next, fill
the holder with water until the water level reaches the top without spilling over. Finally, put the holder
back to the correct tilt position for the package to be measured in readiness for the measurement
process.
Select the Start Analysis option to start the measurement process. The instrument will display
information regarding the measurement step being taken, instructions on any user involvement
required, and the measurement progress throughout the duration of the measurement process.
The first screen gives details of the package being analyzed and gives the user information on what
action to take. As instructed, raise the transparent front door in order to place the package in the
measuring chamber. As soon as the door is raised, the initialization screen is displayed with the next
set of instructions.
Place the package to be analyzed on the circular platform, and set the tilt position as defined for this
package by turning the black knob on the front. Two red laser beams are activated as the front door
is raised. Where the two red beams intersect is where the package will be pierced.
For bottles, position the package so that the two red beams intersect in the centre
of the bottle top (illustrated above left).
For cans, position the package so that the two red beams intersect at position 1
(illustrated above right). This is the recommended piercing position. Alternatively,
position the package so that the two red beams intersect at position 2. If piercing at
position 2, turn the ring pull 90° left or right, in order to clear the piercing position.
Do not pierce the can with the ring pull in the position illustrated.
Make sure that the package is also hard up against the backstop. This may require realigning the
backstop by turning the locking wheel counter clockwise and adjusting its position to that defined for
this package. Lock it in place by turning the locking wheel clockwise finger tight.
Once the package is secure against the backstop and the piercing position aligned with the two red
laser beams, close the front door.
Start the measurement process by pressing the illuminated START button on the front right side of
the instrument base. A progress bar is displayed at the bottom of the screen showing the elapsed
time to date, and the estimated time for measurement completion. This bar is updated on an on-
going basis. No user intervention or action is required until the measurement process has completed.
However, you do have the option to Abort the process at any point.
Once complete, the measurement results are displayed. The three columns of data displayed are
those that have been defined in
signifies the measurements are within the defined limits for this package, and red signifies outside
the defined limits).

boxes displayed down the left. The numerical values will be required if they have been defined as
part of a formula (see
