We recommend filling the FCU before measurement. This ensures immediate and accurate
measurements results. It takes approximately 120 ml of oil to completely fill the hydraulic
circuit inside the FCU and INLET hose.
If the FCU is not pre-filled, an air-oil mixture will flow through the FCU at the start of
measurement. The sensor will interpret the air bubbles as particles, thereby falsifying the
measurement result.
For the first sampling without pre-filling the FCU and hoses, we recommend using at least
300 ml of fluid.
1.
Connect the open end of the OUTLET
return hose (color: clear-transparent) to
a waste oil canister first.
2.
Now connect the other end of the hose
to the OUTLET port of the FCU.
3.
Now connect the INLET suction hose
(color: clear-transparent) to the INLET
port of the FCU.
4.
Place the other end of the INLET hose
(color: clear-transparent) in the non-
pressurized tank.
