Interval & Pause Time - Gilson SS-10 Operating Manual

Gilson Company, Inc.
4.2 Interval & Pause Time
The Interval feature allows timed pauses to be introduced
into cycles of active vibration. Separation of some materials
is improved by interruptions in the vibration cycle that
promote particle reorientation. Optimization of interval and
pause times is usually determined experimentally for a
given material.
• Interval Time refers to the period of active vibration
between pauses, and Pause Time is the time that the
unit is not vibrating. Both take place within the period
specified by the Test Time setting.
• The Interval feature is toggled on and off using the
enable/Disable Interval button. When disabled, the
Interval Time and Pause Time displays are solid grey
and the enable Interval button is displayed (see Figure
4.2.1). When enabled, the Interval Time and Pause Time
boxes, display settable digits and the Disable Interval
button is displayed. Editing the Interval time is similar
to editing the Test Time.
• With the Interval feature enabled, times must be entered
in the Interval Time and Pause Time displays. Interval
times can be any value up to the period selected for
Total Time, and typically range from a few seconds
to a few minutes in length. Pause times are typically
only a few seconds, but can be set up to 99 seconds,
if desired.
Editing the Interval Time & Pause Time Displays:
Enable the Interval button. Press the display box of the
Interval Time or Pause Time box once. The outline and
numbers inside turn yellow and the first digit will flash (see
Figure 4.2.2). The flashing digit is adjusted by pressing
the +/- buttons. Once adjusted to the desired value, press
the display box again. The next digit will begin to flash and
is now adjustable with the +/- buttons. Continue until you
have all the digits set. Pressing the display box once while
the last digit is flashing accepts the changes and returns
the screen to idle.
NOTe: Pressing the touch screen anywhere other
than the edited display box or the +/- buttons at any
time during editing will quickly accept any changes
made, and return the screen to idle.
