The value on the Mixer Duty Cycle screen is only used during Diagnostics and in 
an AOAC 2009.01/2011.25 assay during the 16 hour Amylase/AMG digestion and 
Trizma phases. 

 

Heater Test 

When you press the 

Heater Test

 button on the Diagnostics screen, the following screen will be displayed.

 

 

With the

In-line  Heater

  button  will  turn  the  In-line  Heater  on  and  light  the  LED  located 

below the Touch Screen Display on the Control Panel. The heater temperatures are shown below each heater button.  

 

 

After completing the Heater Test you should turn all heaters off. 

 

Faults 

When you press the
