3) Specifying settings for RAPID (High-speed drying) mode
High-speed drying mode is useful for measuring samples with high levels of moisture content.
In high-speed drying mode, the sample is dried at 180°C until the change
6 M in moisture content over a 30-
second period becomes lower than setting, then drying will be continued at the specified drying temperature.
The RAPID
6 M threshold specifies when high speed drying (180°C) will end.
The threshold of RAIPID 6 M may be specified in 0.1-percent increments anywhere in a range from 0.1 to 9.9
percent.
* The actual time may vary depending on the specified temperature, but it generally takes about 2 minutes for the
temperature control to automatically shift from 180°C to the specified temperature.
While specifying a lower RAPID
6
M threshold lessens the amount of time required for measurement,
depending on the sample it may become burned making it impossible to obtain an accurate measurement.
Specifying a higher threshold shortens the time over which a temperature of 180°C is maintained and
reduces the effects of rapid drying.
Either ‘AUTO’ (automatic ending) or ‘TIME’ (timed ending) may be specified to define the conditions under
which measuring is to be ended.
Display Key(s) used Operating instructions
With the display of the weight in grams, press the
CONDITION
key.
If a password has been specified, the message ‘PASS’ will be
displayed to indicate that the password should be entered. Use
the
key, key and
ENTER
key to enter the password. Follow
the instructions under step
7
in “9-2-7 Specifying a password” to
set or delete a password.
The ‘CONDITIONS’ display area will begin to flash. Press the
SELECT
key until ‘MODE’ begins to flash.
With the ‘MODE’ display flashing, press the
ENTER
key. This will
cause control to shift to measuring mode selection and for the
currently specified measuring mode to begin flashing.
Press the
SELECT
key repeatedly until ‘RPD’ begins to flash.
* If ‘RPD’ is already flashing, then proceed directly on to the next
step.
When ‘RPD’ flashes, press the
ENTER
key. This will cause the
numeric field next to ‘RPD’ begin to flash.
Press the key or key to select the desired RAPID
6
M
threshold value. Note that here a value of ‘0.7%’ is specified.
When the desired threshold begins to flash, press the
ENTER
key.
The threshold will then be set and control will shift to the selection
of the ending conditions. The units area for timed ending mode
(‘min’) or automatic ending mode (‘%’) will begin to flash.
