4.1  Instrument Controls 

 

 

 

 

1.  Power Switch.

 This switch controls the power 

to the entire unit. When the power switch is in 
the 

ON

  position,  the  digital  temperature 

controller,  the  torque  meters,  compressors 
and drive systems of the unit are powered on. 

 

2.  Temperature  Controller.

  The  temperature 

controller  regulates  the  chamber  temperature 
for the test procedure. Refer to Section 4.2 for 
full operational details. 
 

3.  Spindle 

Temperature: 

Displays 

the 

temperature of the interior of the ASTM D4693 
test rig in °C.  

 

4.  Left Drive Motor Switch: 

Controls the ASTM 

D1478 test rig motor drive

 

 

5.  Right  Drive  Motor  Switch.

  Controls  the 

ASTM D4693 test rig motor drive 
 

 

 

6.  Torque: 

Two  meters  display  the 

load

  values 

(NOT  THE  TORQUE  VALUES)  from  the  test 
rigs in 

lbs

, arranged as follows: 

 

ASTM D1478 Test Rig 

– Left side meter 

ASTM D4693 Test Rig 

– Right side meter 

 

Over-torque  cut-off  feature 

–  The  torque 

meter  is  equipped  with  an  automatic  cut-off 
that  interrupts  power  to  the  drive  motor  when 
measured  torque  exceeds  a  programmed 
limit.  This  limit  is  factory  preset  at  55  lbs  to 
protect  the  load  cell  and  drive  system 
components.  
 
To  reset  the  drive  unit  after  cut-off,  depress 
both  buttons  on  the  face  of  the  meter 
simultaneously and release.  
 
To charge the cut-off limit: 
a) Depress  the  button  on  the  right side  of  the 
meter to confirm the current cut-off valve.  
b)  While  depressing  the  button,  adjust  the 
value by turning the recessed set screw on the 
face  of  the  torque  meter  with  a  small  slotted 
screwdriver.  

CAUTION

 

–  Do  not  adjust  the  cut-off  value 

higher  than  55  lbs  or  damage  to  the  drive 
system  and/or  load  cell  may  occur  during 
operation.  

 

4.2  Temperature Controller Operation

 

 

 

 

 
 

Figure 4. Temperature Controller 

 

1.  Process  Temperature  Display.

  The 

upper red LED display shows the process 
temperature as read from the RTD probe. 

 

2.  Set  Point  Temperature  Display.

  The 

lower  green  LED  display  shows  the  set 
point temperature of the controller.
