Operation 

Please review and follow all safety and installation instructions 
before operating the Phase One Disintegration Tester. Before 
turning on power to the unit, fill the bath with deionized water, 
or better, to the line indicated on the front of the bath (without 
beakers in place). 

 

Power on the Tester 

The power switch for the tester is located on the back side of 
the unit. The switch is oriented for horizontal activation (toggle 
to the left—-ON; toggle to the right—OFF (as viewed from the 
front of the unit). 

From the front of the tester reach around to the lower left back 
corner  to  toggle  the  switch  to  the  ON  position.  Except  for 
servicing,  troubleshooting,  operator  preference,  or  protocol, 
there is no need to turn the unit off after this. 

The basket arms will not move when the tester is first powered 
on. The LCD interface will display the Hanson name and logo 
for a few seconds, along with the firmware version number as 
shown below. 

 

 

 

 

 

Fill bath before 
turning on heater.
