Status symbols Green tick: Measurement completed but not yet eval- uated, or selection acknowledgement. Pocket calculator: Measurement completed end eval- uated, evaluation inputs can no longer be changed. Blank tick: Measurement prepared but not yet per- formed. Yellow X: Field property not selected, or cancelled before ignition.
Weighted sample Input of a numerical value, such as weighted sample: The entire area with the exception of the “Scale“ button is avail- able to be clicked here. A numerical virtual keyboard is opened and can be used to input the value: After the virtual keyboard has been closed with “OK“, the value in the input field is loaded.
Work with the device Switching on the device The IKA C 3000 isoperibol is switched on with the On/off switch. ® The cover opens automatically. A start screen appears for about 30 seconds, during which the hardware is initialised and the software is loaded.

For more information on this subject, please contact IKA ‚ or your ® The sample is weighed directly into the disposable crucible. In nearest authorized dealer.
For more detailed information on calibration please see the rele- vant standards. If the IKA C 3000 isoperibol is operated with sev- ® eral different decomposition vessels, you will need to determine the heat capacity of the system for each decomposition vessel.
Preparing measurements The term “measurements“ below refers to both the measurements to calibrate the calorimeter system (calibration measurements) and the actual measurements for determining the calorific value. The difference lies mainly in the evaluation (see the section ˝Wor- king with the device“ and ˝Settings“), whilst preparation and per- formance make virtually no difference.

Charging the decomposition vessel Please refer to the operating instructions for the C 6010/ C 6012 decomposition vessels. After the preparation for measurement, a message appears re- quiring secure closure of the decomposition vessel, despite the- re being no decomposition vessel hung in the calorimeter cover. When you confirm the prompt, the “Start”...

You can then click on the “Start“ button. The screen switches to the “Device“ tab. You can trace the progress of the measurement both in this tab and also in the “Graphics“ tab. In the area above the record, progress bars for the individual phases of the measurement are shown.
Evaluation Click on auf the measurement to be evaluated. Then click on the “Evaluation“ button. The following screen with several tabs appears. The parameters for the evaluation are distributed across the “Gross Calorific Value“ and “Net Calorific Value“ tabs. Note: The “Net Calorific Value“ tab is not shown at calibration. Now you can input the parameters required for the standard that was selected (here: ASTM D 4809).
Menu Click the “Menu on“ button to display the menu. Use the scroll bar to display all the menu options. If a measurement has been prepared or selected you will see only a restricted selection of the menu options. ”Show/Hide Message Panel“: an information field above the button toolbar is displayed or hidden.
In the left hand selection field you can also extend an directory tree which is organised by years and months. Within each month the right hand window then displays the measurement organised by days. Select the desired day and click on the “Evaluation“ button. The list of the measurements on the selected day is displayed.
Three additional tabs appear listing the calibration, a check chart of the calibration and the calibration statistics for the selected function and decomposition vessel. You can select the function of the IKA C 3000 isoperibol from ®...
You will now see the serial number of the selected decomposition vessel. Input the Service Code for it and click on the “Renew“ but- ton. You will receive your service code once you have registered on the IKA homepage. ®...
Other settings Evaluation ”Evaluation“ tab Default evaluation: After a measurement has been completed, as a rule the results are extended and corrected in accordance with the applicable national or international standards. Select from the list: The selected standard will be applied to all the subsequent mea- surements.
If you select “user-defined“ this energy value can also be changed at the preparation of each individual measurement. The default setting is “IKA ignition thread“ ® You can modify the list or add new ignition aids to it.Select an ignition aid and click on the “Edit“...
Combustion aid ”Combustion aids“ tab There are two different combustion aids available for use in order to achieve correct combustion of samples. The external energies contributed by the aids are input or calculated at preparation of the sample and are included automatically in the calculation of the calorific values.
