required time.
• ACR-90 rotor—set the run time for 10 minutes to prevent significant evaporative loss.

Secure the instrument door by turning the pressure regulator knob to the right (clockwise),
pushing down, until the air pressure indicated on the
required speed. Optimal run speed is achieved at 30 psig (207 kPa). (This is the only
recommended operating air pressure for the ACR-90 rotor.) Note that some low-speed rotor
vibration is normal at the beginning of the run.
