Section Four – How It Works
The Hanson Research Media-Mate Plus uses a self-tuning PID controller and a Teflon heater
to heat the media. Media is moved by low pressure or vacuum and directed by a two-position,
multi-channel pinch valve. The media is deaerated by a thin film vacuum process. The media
volume is accurately measured by a user-set incremental measuring system. A programmable
timer controls the following sequence of events:
1. Fill
(Fill Light “ON”)
Vacuum draws heated media from the media tank into the measure vessels. The fill time
thumbwheel has been set such that actual fill time is sufficient to fill measure vessels slightly
above the required volume. The media is deaerated during the fill cycle by thin film vacuum
technology.
