to do so in the menu of the data collector once the
test has been finished.
For thermodynamic steam traps a certain limit
frequency of operations is used to evaluate its
performance.
If you did not enter the service pressure,
the equipment will only check whether the
temperature exceeds 40 °C. In this case
banking-up of condensate will not be
indicated.
For more information on how the readings are
evaluated and interpreted see the operating
instructions for the PC software program.
