USB Flash Drive Feature
(continued)
Start Program
1. Turn on power.
2. Insert the USB flash drive and allow 30 seconds to initialize before starting the program.
3. Press the START/STOP button. If the Delayed Start feature is enabled the screen will display “DELAYED START” and count down the
time to the start of the program.
4. When the set-point temperature is attained, the time will count down (at this time it is recommended the User record the temperature
and pressure for quality control). The instrument will typically overshoot the programmed temperature by 2 – 4 ° C, then settle down to
the set-point. When the counter reaches zero, the program will move to the next step (P2 Fan ON/OFF) until the end of the run when the
alarm will sound for approximately 1 minute and the heat will turn off (at this time it is recommended the User record the temperature
and pressure for quality control).
The amount of time required to reach the programmed temperature and pressure are variable, depending upon the voltage source and
frequency, the number of slides in the chamber and the altitude at which the instrument is operated.
End Program
1. Press and hold the START/STOP for 3 seconds to end the run. This is important - the instrument will continue posting data to
the run report until the program is stopped. Before unlocking the lid, confirm the pressure gauge reads zero (0). Tip the Weight
(petcock) to release any residual pressure.
