Status Indicator:
The lights on the Status Indicator correspond to the consistency of the
sample. The threshold values can be set in either the onboard controls or
in the software. There are three setpoints, specified in Bearden units of
consistency (Bc).
- Max Bc for Green Light: When the consistency is below this value, the
green light will be on.
- Max Bc for Green and Yellow: When the consistency is below this
value, the green and yellow lights will both be on.
- Max Bc for Red Light: When the consistency is below this value, the
yellow light only will be on. When the consistency is above this value,
the red light will be on and the test will stop.
Refer to page 18 for instructions on setting these values.
The Status Indicator also indicates an alarm condition. If an alarm is
triggered, all three lights on the status indicator will blink until the alarm is
acknowledged.
