Loading the beakers
For best results adhere to the following:
▪
Do not mix beakers sizes:
Be consistent.
o
Only install beakers of the same size. (Ex. Do not mix 150cc with 300cc)
o
Do not mix black coated beakers with stainless steel beakers.
o
Do not over tighten the beaker lids
▪
Over tightening can lead to o-ring wear and damage to the
beaker lid.
▪
Beaker Tightening Instructions
o
Hand tighten the beaker lid closing screw firstly
o
Then using the supplied Hex driver turn the beaker lid screw
approximately ¼ - ½ turn should be sufficient closing and sealing pressure for the beaker lid to avoid leaking of the solution.
▪
If additional tightening is needed to seal it could mean and issue with the O-ring or other beaker components and may need
replacement.
8. Preparing samples
▪
When performing a job, always fill the beakers with equal amounts of sample and dye liquor.
▪
Do not under- fill or over fill a beaker. Refer to applications section of User Manual
for detailed information. (
Note
: The o-ring in the beaker lid can push out to release
pressure caused by an improperly filled beaker. If this happens re-install the o-ring
and check sample-to-liquor ratio).
▪
Samples should be
wet out, rung
and
folded
▪
Always ensure that the reference beaker contains a sample. Never perform a
job without the
o
reference beaker as part of the dyeing process.
9. Sample Folding
▪
Fabric should be folded as shown in this example.
Do not crumple fabric and stuff into beaker.
10. Beaker Placement
▪
Always install the reference beaker in a position where the sensor can be easily connected to the
connection port on the beaker lid.
Avoid heavy bending of the sensor cable.
▪
Fill the rest of the wheel evenly, always maintaining wheel balance no matter how many beakers
are installed.
▪
Sensor is mounted to the beaker wheel hub with a locking collar; it should not be removed from
this point.
o
Always connect sensor after the reference beaker is installed on the beaker wheel and
always remove the sensor cable from the reference beaker before removing the
beaker from the wheel.
▪
Unnecessary stress and bending of the sensor can lead to premature failure.
11. Cleaning
▪
Refer to user manual for more detailed information on cleaning.
▪
The unit should be cleaned as needed with a mild soap and clean cloth to ensure inner and outer casing remains clean.
▪
ALL accessories must be thoroughly cleaned and dried after each dye process to remove any residual dyestuffs and chemical auxiliaries to
avoid dye cross contamination and chemical sedimentation on the accessories surface.
