Alternative method (bypassing the sensor):
1.
Remove the precipitator capillary tube from the End of Oil sensor.
2.
Run the sample using the STANDARD test procedures.
3.
When the oil meniscus has been observed in the precipitator capillary tube moving below the End of
Oil sensor, place a small piece of paper into the End of Oil sensor area to trigger the end of the test.
Otherwise, the STOP button may be pressed as well when the technician determines that the test is
completed. This will automatically freeze the DL and DS data and write the information to the csv
file if a control number was entered. It will also pump the remaining liquid from the precipitator
tubing to minimize excess oil spillage.
7.5 – HELP Tab
The DR-7 has a HELP tab that contains a link to the last version of the manual that was loaded onto the
machine when the unit shipped from the factory. This is not an internet link and will have to manually be
updated if needed.
7.6 – ABOUT Tab
The DR-7 has an ABOUT tab that contains the unit number, serial number, and software version number
of the instrument. Additionally, the Trico Contact information if there if any issues arise, which the Serial
number of the instrument will be needed to determine the factory information.
