 Start the machine. The process now started takes about 45 seconds. During this time the PM 100 / PM
200 determines the idling energy with the grinding bowl empty at the later operating speed.
 The PM 100 stops automatically after the idling energy has been recorded and you are requested to fill
it with the material to be ground and grinding balls.
 Determine the increased weight of the grinding bowl filled with material and grinding media.
 Please note that the balancing of the PM 100 must be corrected accordingly.
 After pressing the start button again, you are requested to choose between "MEASURE“ and "SET" the
energy.
 MEASURE
Once the idling energy has been determined, only that energy is determined which is additionally input
into the grinding bowl by the movement of balls and material during the grinding time.
 SET
Enter the energy to be input into the grinding bowl in kJ. It is not yet possible to stipulate the grinding
time at the same time. The machine stops once the specified energy has been input.
The error messages generated by false operation can be acoustically supported by an alarm.
If the function is switched off, the appropriate pictogram appears

MENU SETTINGS SERVICE
The service menu is sub-divided into four sub-menus:
 SERVICE HELP
Service help is stored here in the form of a check list. This is intended to make effective and regular
service work easier and increase the operational reliability of the unit. Also refer to the chapter
General/Maintenance!
 TOTAL OPERATION HOURS
This counts the number of grinding hours, thus the sum of the times between START and STOP. The
times cannot be manipulated.
 SOFTWARE VERSION
The version of the operating software can be called up and updated as required. If necessary, get in
touch with your Retsch distributor.
Should you have reached this menu by mistake and cannot return to the previous menu, switch the
device off at the main switch and re-start it.
