Test Modes
The Phase One disintegration tester offers two modes of
operation—timed and untimed (free run).
In the timed-test mode, the instrument automatically stops
cycling after an operator-defined test duration. In this mode
the timer counts DOWN from the programmed number of
hours, minutes, and seconds to zero.
In the untimed free-run mode, the tester operates
continuously until manually stopped by the operator. In
free-run mode the timer counts UP from zero.
Fixed Time Test
To set up a fixed-time test, at the main menu highlight TIMED
TEST and push the control knob. The screen will default to the
RUN TEST option and will display the duration setting of the
previously programmed timed test.
If this duration is correct, and if all other test preparations have
been completed (baskets, beakers, heater circulator, dosage
form, etc.), the test can be started by pushing the control knob.
If the pre-existing test duration setting is not correct, re-set the
timer as follows:
Rotate the control knob to highlight the time setting displayed at
the top of the screen, then press the control knob to highlight
just the hours.
