■ Tips on how to ensure accurate measurements
● First measurement
If a test is performed immediately after turning on the power, a measurement error may be caused.
It is recommended to turn on the power 30 minutes before use to optimize instrument stability.
In addition, we recommend using the Pre Heat function available with the instrument.
How to operate the Pre Heat function
1
Place the sample dish, and close the heater lid.
* No sample is necessary.
Press the [
Pre Heat
] key.
2
The [
Start/Stop
] key blinks, heating begins.
It is heated at 130ºC.
3
Pre heating will finish in 5 minutes.
The [
Tare/Reset
] key lights up.
4
Press the [
Tare/Reset
] key.
“PrEH” will disappear and weight is displayed.
5
Open the heater lid, and remove the sample dish with the
sample dish handler.
* Note that the sample dish may be very hot and you
should be careful in handling it at this time.
Leave the heater lid open to allow the tester to cool.
6
Ensure that the entire unit has cooled, and place the spare
(cool) sample dish.
* The guideline for "the entire unit has cooled" is 40ºC or
lower on the display.
Use a cool sample dish.
