3.1.10. CONFIGURATION OF TEST MODE
[TIME NORMAL/FAST]
This menu allows for reducing the analysis time to the simple mechanical movements of the instrument
and it is therefore possible to rapidly check the settings of the instrument during an analysis cycle.

Turn off and turn on the instrument again to restore normal functioning.
Method to verify the sensors efficiency using the FAST mode.
1.
To use this rapid procedure it’s necessary to prepare 2 (or 3 for F2 analysis) test-tubes with inside
little sticks (in plastic or in metal) of various heights as shown in figure:
Sample A : stick long 56mm (near the sign level) that simulate a sample
after the mixing.
Sample B : stick long 50mm that simulate a sample after one hour.
Sample C : stick long 30mm that simulate a sample after two hour.
2. Select the ESR F1 ANALYSIS from the SELECT FUNCTION menu.
3. Introduce the tube A and start a cycle type F1 .
4. Wait that the instrument executes the two refernce readings, remove the sample A and insert the
sample B .
5. After the reading at the first hour, the instrument prints the result.
