Operation

5. Place the rotor on the stator pad and shut the instrument door.
6. Set the TIME dial for the required run time. The dial indicates up
to 5 hours of run time in 5-minute increments. (In some models,
the dial indicates 5 minutes of run time in 5-second increments.)
For longer runs, set the timer to HOLD. For runs shorter than
30 minutes, turn the dial past the 30-minute point, then back to the
required time. (
ACR-90 rotor— set the run time for 10 minutes to
prevent significant evaporative loss.)
7. Secure the instrument door by turning the pressure regulator knob
to the right (clockwise), pushing down, until the air pressure indi-
cated on the PRESSURE gauge brings the rotor to the required
speed. Optimal run speed is achieved at 30 psig (207 kPa). (This is
the only recommended operating air pressure for the ACR-90
rotor.) Note that some low-speed rotor vibration is normal at the
beginning of the run.
