Automatic Cleaning and
Balance Function
Note:
For Optica Analyzers with earlier versions of software, see
Appendix F
.
Optica Analyzers with version XXX software have been upgraded to
include the ability to program the PACER self-cleaning and
rebalancing cycle to run once per day at a preset time. This is referred
to as a
Clock Time Interval
. When the unit is programmed in this
manner, the front panel PACER softkey is disabled. The
Elapsed Time
Interval
initiates the PACER at a preset time after the last PACER was
run. The automatic balance cycle will always run upon power up of
the analyzers.
To program the
Automatic Cleaning & Balance Function
on the
Optica VGA monitor:
1.
Make sure the internal clock of the Optica has the correct time.
a.
From the main screen enter
Menu
,
then
More
, then
Set Time
and Date
.
b.
Highlight the
Date
and
Time
fields and use the Keypad and
Softkeys to set the correct time.
2.
Set the
Time Programmed Balance Cycle
.
a.
Enter
Menu
and go to the
Automatic Balance Section
.
b.
Open the
Type
pull down menu and choose one of the four
selections (see Table 4-6 below).
Note:
The
PACER
function will provide more thorough cleaning than
the
AUTO
function because it first develops a thick dew/frost
layer into which soluble contaminants dissolve. When heated,
some of the contaminants are flash-evaporated and the
remaining residue accumulates in clusters, resulting in an
approximately 85% cleaner surface. The PACER cycle
generally takes longer to complete.
