    It is important to be aware of differences that can arise from these two sampling methods General guidelines The following guidelines summarise best practice in order to guarantee accurate, repeatable results, and should be adhered to for all fluid sampling using the icountACM202024. Handle the icountACM202024 with care; it is a precise instrumentation product. ■...
  • Page 15 This is best done by slowly tumbling the bottle end over end at a tilted angle for about 60 seconds, as shown below. DO NOT SHAKE the fluid sample at this stage as this will introduce air in the fluid and lead to poor results. A gentle tumbling action is required. Parker Hannifin icountACM202024...

  • Page 16: Setting The Time And Date

    IntroDUCtIon Setting the time and date Before running any tests, you should make sure that the icountACM202024 has the correct time and date set. This allows any Automatic tests to be started at the correct time, and ensures that printouts have the correct time and date of testing as part of the record.

  • Page 17: Screen Adjustments

    NOTE: When the icountACM202024 is switched off the backlight and contrast functions are reset. Therefore if the backlight is still required when the icountACM202024 is switched back on, the backlight will then need to be reactivated. This is to preserve battery life.

    Once the icountACM202024 has been set up, it is ready to check fluid cleanliness levels. NOTE: The icountACM202024 contains aviation fuel and may need to be flushed prior to use. Connecting sampling hoses Connect the sample hoses to the ‘INLET’ and ‘OUTLET’ connections. These are push-fit connections.

  • Page 19: Testing Procedure

    Place the inlet pipe in the fluid to be sampled, and place the outlet pipe into a suitable waste container. Switch on the icountACM202024 and switch on the transfer pump.. Wait until the fluid has been drawn through the icountACM202024 and starts coming out of the outlet pipe. MANUAL FLOW TEST Press and hold the key for two seconds to start the flow test.
