5.1. Principle of operation To get the fully trusted results and outcomes of the Recognoil device, it is important to get to know the basic principles of device operation. The device irradiates the surface with invisible and undetectable UV light. The certain physical and chemical properties of the residual grease and oils force the chemical elements and molecules to emit visible light. -
Page 22: Methodology
This section has been written for the reason of two basic existing limitations of the Recognoil device. First – the need of exact distance of the object and the Recognoil detector head, second – the need of 100% light out-screening. The Recognoil device is primarily designed for planar objects of bigger dimensions, but, with the help of this manual, the number of possible applications can be made considerably greater. - Page 23 The Recognoil device is put on the other side and secured in its place. The object is placed in an adjustable holder, to be allowed to set the appropriate focusing distance.

Page 24: Examples Of Use
For the purposes of demonstration, we can suggest 3 spheres of the device application. Example 1 – a paint shop The Recognoil device serves as a quick random check of the surface degreasing quality. The operator has already found out, what limit settings are appropriate for the type of object being detected. - Page 25 Recognoil – User‘s Manual Software version 2.2.1_2015-02-21 VALIDATION - CALIBRATION (Professional version only) case Recognoil Professional version, aluminium sample validation- calibration sheet has been delivered to you, allowing you to perform validation test periodically. Validation procedure can be executed from the Settings menu.
- Page 26 The method is easy to accomplish and starts with the sample preparation. 1) Remove the foil from one part of the metal surface and right at the moment, place the Recognoil device on to this surface. 2) Click the Execute the calibration sequence button. After that, follow the instructions.
