6.2.8. Data
Printouts
※
This step is only applicable if an optional printer is connected.
After pour/cloud point detection, the Expected pour/cloud point and measured point are
automatically printed. To print detailed experimental information, such as such as specimen
temperature and pressurization times during testing, press the START key once after the
summary data has printed
(
10
)
.
Note, however, that data cannot be printed after the RESET key has been pressed.
Note (10)
: The instrument can be modified to automatically print detailed experimental data after
every test run. For details, refer to the Maintenance Manual.
6.2.9. Bath Heating
After pour/cloud point detection, bath heating begins to return the specimen to room
temperature (WARM lamp lights)
(

)
The bath is heated quickly to a temperature of 20
°
C
(
12
)
and
held at that temperature for 3 minutes
(
12
)
. To stop the heating process, press the RESET key.
Note that this will also clear the test results from the display. After the specified time of 3 minutes,
the WARM lamp is extinguished, heating stops and a buzzer sounds intermittently for 8 seconds.
To begin heating after heating has finished or been aborted, press the WARM key.
Note (11)
：
If the bath temperature is over 20
°
C when testing completes, the WARM lamp turns on,
but no heating is performed. This continues for 3 minutes.
Note (12)
：
Both the temperature and duration of heating can be modified. For details, refer to the
Maintenance Manual.
This completes the automatic testing process.
To perform another test, return to Part 5.3: Specimen Preparation on page 15.
To finish using the instrument, simply turn off the main switch.
