13.2. Obtaining temperature correction readings and enabling Temperature Correction
1.
Configure “Drying Settings” to the lowest and highest temperatures that the analyzers will be used with i.e. 80°C
(T1) and 150°C (T2). Use the analyzer in the Time mode with the Drying time set to 15 minutes.
T1 T2
Drying Temperature: 80°C 150°C
Mode: Time Mode Time Mode
Calculation: m0-m/m0*100% m0-m/m0*100%
Samples quantity: 0 0
Sampling Interval: 10sec 10sec
Drying Time: 00:15:00s 00:15:00s
2.
With the sample on the pan and probe installed, perform drying to obtain T1 readings for the analyzer (Device temp.)
and the external temperature probe (Control temp.). To produce representative condition of the analysis it is
recommended to have the sample on the when performing T1 and T2 analysis.
3.
Once the temperature stabilizes, write down the temperature indicated by the analyzer as well as the temperature
indicated by the external thermometer or temperature probe.
4.
Reconfigure the drying parameters, allow the analyzer to cool down, and perform drying to obtain T2 readings.
5.
Press the Menu key and use the navigation keys to select option 3 (Drying Options).
6.
Use the navigation keys to select option 4 (Temp. Correction)
7.
Input both T1 and T2 values and change the “Status” field to ON. Once enabled the analyzer will make the
appropriate temperature corrections when drying.
