The TQC drying time recorder is partially preset by the settings of the Automatic Film application. In order to set
up a new drying time test follow the steps below:
MAIN MENU – RUN SETUP
In the run setup menu the general setting of the Film applicator and

the “Set drying time recorder” menu to get into the set-up menu for
the drying time recorder.
RUN SETUP-DRYING TIME RECORDER
Within the Drying time recorder setup options as track time total run
time for drying time, alarm interval and vacuum control can be set.
Track time can be set from 1 minute to 48 hours. The speed will be
depended on track time and set track length. A shorter track length
will mean a lower speed. When performing drying time tests for
extended test times turn off the vacuum pump to prevent extensive
wear on the internal vacuum pump. Return to run setup menu by selecting back
NOTE: The vacuum control is only available for models equipped with vacuum.
RUN SETUP LENGTH
The length of a drying time test can be set here. The operation is the
same as that for setting the length for an application.
MAIN MENU
To perform a new drying time test select “Drying time recorder” in
the main menu. This will start a drying time run with the setting of
the previous menus.
DTR-RUN (1)
The drying time recorder will now be initiated. Follow the instruction
on the screen, and position a test chart or a test substrate. When
placed, select confirm to continue.
DTR-RUN (2)
The chart / test substrate is now fixed and the drying time recorder
tool can now be placed. Click the tool in place as shown in below
illustrations. When ready select run to continue.
DTR-RUN (3)
The drying time recorder is now running. The display shows the set
time in the top left corner and the Running time in the centre of the
screen. To end the run select stop. IT can appear that the drying time
recorder is not reacting to your command. The internal processor
causes this. The processor is at that time busy performing other
tasks, and will execute your command as soon as the performed task
is completed.
