Operation manual OPTIMA7 Maintenance The OPTIMA 7 needs to the long value preservation only one very low maintenance need: 5.1. Cleaning Taking good care of your OPTIMA7 will ensure long-term maintenance value: • CAUTION Condensate is acidic The condensate from the container can be slight acidic and can cause chemical burn.
Preparation for each measurement 6.1. Power supply The analyzer can be used with: • with the internal MRU battery (provided) • with the MRU battery charger (provided) External equipment may only be connected while the analyzer is switched off! 6.2. Auto OFF The instrument is automatically switched off after 60 minutes.
If you press the F1 key “Start” in the measurement menu, you will be directed directly into the measurement screen, using the parameters (program and fuel type) that have been se- lected last time the analyzer was used. change be- tween the lines 25 / 51 MRU GmbH, D-74172 Neckarsulm...
Temperature will result in the bars moving away from the max. Temperature (1 bar is equivalent to 1°C). Once the right core flow has been achieved, the probe is fixed with the probe cone screw. 26 / 51 MRU GmbH, D-74172 Neckarsulm...
If the draft measurement is disabled it is displayed with “--.-“. The draft measurement can be enabled again by zeroing the draft: F3 key “zero draft”. To indicate that the draft measurement is not continuously available it is displayed in col- our red. 27 / 51 MRU GmbH, D-74172 Neckarsulm...
If the CO value sinks below the CO threshold, then the red CO value becomes again black Starting from this moment the purge pump can be switched off over the menu key again. 28 / 51 MRU GmbH, D-74172 Neckarsulm...

Note: The accuracy of the difference temperature measurement is guaranteed only on use of the MRU temperature sensors. 7.18. Last measured values offers the possibility to display the last measured values even if they have OPTIMA7 not been stored inside the analyzer.
The analyzer can store up to 1,000 different sites. New sites can be added in the analyzer. Modifications can be done using an external PC program e.g. MRU Win. Attention: New sites created in the analyzer will NOT be transferred back to the computer program.

Each record in the table is one line of the text file. Each field value of a record is separated from the next by a character. Optima 7 uses a semi-colon ‘;’ as value separator (other implementations use sometimes a comma). Implementations of CSV can often handle field values with embedded line breaks or separator characters by using quotation marks or escape sequences.
