6. Flip the main power switch to the On (I)
position. The main power switch is located
on the right side of the unit, adjacent to the
electrical cord
(Figure A)
.
7. Press the red POWER button located on
the front display panel to start the duplicator
(Figure C)
.
The display panel should illuminate and
shows the PROCESS temperature (actual
temperature reading of the tank) and the
hold temperature SET POINT. The unit is
now in “Standby Mode” (no heating lights
illuminated).
8. The Colloid-Saver 3.5 duplicator has been
pre-programmed for use with Nobilium,
Ticonium or Niranium colloids at sea level.
If the duplicator will not be used at sea level,
or other colloids will be used, you must
make setting adjustments as shown in
section VI.
IV. Colloid Loading & Cook-Down
1. Remove the top cover by rotating it
clockwise, then fill duplicator with 1 to 3 ½
gallons (4 to 13 liters) of colloid material.
Note: Colloid material must be chopped into small
(2 to 5 cm) chunks. Using larger chunks of material
may cause the stirrer mechanism to fail.
Do not fill the tank more than 3/4 full
initially. To maximize the volume of material
in the tank, wait 5 minutes after cook-down
begins, then remove the top cover and add
remaining material until the tank is full.
Make sure to add any liquid that may be in
the bottom of colloid container. The liquid
contains ingredients which extend the life
of the colloid. Replace
top cover and rotate it
counter-clockwise to
engage it with the
locking pins in the
tank
(Figure B)
. As a
safety measure, the
top cover must be fully
rotated into a locked position
before the motor will function.
2. Press the ENTER button on the front
display panel. (The display will indicate
“Cook”).
3. Press the V arrow once (the display will
indicate “Hold”). Select either cook or hold
and press the ENTER button.
4. The stirring motor will start and the
display panel will indicate the PROCESS
temperature (actual temperature reading
of the tank) and the cook-down temperature
SET POINT.
5. All three heating lights will illuminate.
Heating will continue until the cook-down
temperature is reached. Then the duplicator
fan will activate until the unit reaches the
hold temperature. This cook-down process
takes 2 to 3 hours. (To suspend or restart
the cook-down process, press the ENTER
button).
6. The material is ready when the controller
display blinks “READY”
(Figure C)
and an
audible “beep”sounds. Turn off the audible
“beep” by pressing the SET button.
Note: The ready display and sound can be
turned off in the profile setup.
V. Operation
Cook-Down
It is best to cook-down in late afternoon.This
allows the cool-down cycle to occur in the
evening when the duplicator is not in use.
