o Raise the sliding glass chamber into the upper position
o Ensure that the sliding glass chamber is properly sealed (When the “Next” button is pushed,
vacuum pressure is applied to the glass chamber to help seal the glass chambers together.)

• Select your next step:
o Press “Ready” to begin the test.
o Press “Back” to turn off the vacuum and return to the previous prompt prior to beginning the
test.
o Press “Exit” to return to the Operator Test screen.
o Once you press "Ready" the software will begin monitoring test progress.
• The software automatically calculates the evaporation time based on the amount of hexane used
during the test. Following evaporation the software will chime and a prompt will alert you that the
test has been completed.
• The drying cartridge and filter assembly can be discarded at this point.
The filter O-Ring may have a tendency to stick to the filter, so care should be taken not to discard the
O-Ring.
• If the software detects a malfunction with the test or hardware during testing, the test may abort
automatically as a safety precaution. In the event this occurs, the Test Info will show the reason the
software initiated the abort (this message will also appear in the test data).
For safety reasons, the door must remain closed and the swinging front assembly must remain in the upper
latched position during testing. If the door or ball valve is unlatched, the software will automatically abort
the test.
