Initial Operation / Turning the Printer on
Switch on the printer using the sliding switch on the left side of the printer.
(See also the operating instructions for the printer).
Open the printer paper tray. Remove the thermal paper roll and thread the
thermal paper into the slot provided. As soon as the paper is detected in the
slot, the printer draws the paper in. Put the printer into “online mode”
afterwards by pressing the left button. “Online mode” is indicated by the LED
next to the button lighting green. The printer is now ready for printing. If you
want to feed the paper further, put the printer into “offline mode” with the left
button. Afterwards, press the right button “Feed” - this feeds the paper.

Initial Operation / Operating the Device
The machine has four arrow keys and an “Enter”
key. Pressing the “Enter” key starts the function or
action which has been selected with the arrow keys.
10.
Initial Operation / Turning the Device off / on
Before being turned off the device must be cleaned in order that no
residues can remain in the device.
Zero calibration has to be performed after the warming-up. The zero
calibration lasts approximately 5 minutes.
11.
Initial Operation / Zero calibration
6 minutes
After the warming time up the zero calibration can be started.
Starting zero calibration:
a) Place the sample suction tube in a
sample glass filled with the distilled water.
There should be at least 50 ml of distilled
water present. Otherwise the device would
draw in air, which would then call up the
error message “No Plateau”.
b) Use the arrow keys to select the “Zero-
Cali” menu item.
c) Press the “Enter” button -- zero
calibration starts. Progress is shown by
means of a moving bar.
After zero calibration the device is ready for operation.

Zero calibration is used to calibrate the hardware. It is not calibration of the
substances in the beer. This is performed with the B calibration. If you would
like to check the zero calibration process, please carry out a control
measurement with distilled water. For this control measurement profile 0 must
be used. Profile 0 cannot be calibrated and is therefore suitable for this
control measurement.

Operation / Measuring
1 minute
First, select the desired product. There is a total of 18 different products
available (e.g. for export beer, Pils, strong beer, malt beer etc.). (See also
section 3. Operation / Product Selection / Example) Put the suction tube into a
sample container filled with the degassed beer sample. There should be at
least 100 ml of beer available (proportionately more for multiple analyses).
Otherwise the machine will suck in air which will result in the “no plateau” error
message. You will find the applicable conditions for the beer samples on page
19.
a) Navigate to the “Start Measurement” menu point using the arrow keys.
b) Press the “Enter” key - the analysis starts.
Initially, 10 ml of the beer sample are sucked into the machine.
The following four steps are performed for every analysis:
1) Suck in the sample
2) Warming up the sample
3) Fine tempering
4) Measuring
The respective analysis phases are displayed. An analysis takes approx. 1
minute (depending on configuration).
The progress of the measurement is shown
by a moving bar. One measurement lasts
approximately 1 minute (depending on the
setting).
When the analysis is finished, the result is
both displayed as well as printed out on the
report printer.
