4.6 Start/Stop & Pause/resume buttons
The Start/Stop button controls the test cycle. Pressing the
green Start button activates vibration and the count-down
timer to the selected values. Pressing the red Stop button
stops the machine immediately and resets the timer. Once
started, the Save/Delete Test ID button is converted into a
Pause/resume button. Pressing Pause temporarily halts
the test cycle and timer. Pressing resume continues the
test at the time remaining.
The SS-10 accepts up to eight full-height or sixteen half-
height round test sieves of 8in (203mm) or 200mm diameter
plus pan. Note that 8in and 200mm sieves cannot be
used in the same stack.
The SS-10 can test a wide variety of materials. Because
of differing characteristics of these materials, optimum
combinations of power levels, test times and interval times
must be determined experimentally. Low initial power and
time settings are recommended when testing an unfamiliar
material. Settings may be increased gradually until complete
separation is achieved without physically degrading the mate-
rial. Complete separation can be assumed when additional
one minute increments of operation at higher power levels
produce less than 1% of total weight difference in material
passing a given sieve.
In addition to material type, power input and time, differ-
ences in sieve stack height and specimen weights may also
cause performance variations. Using similar sieves, stack
heights and sample weights will help maintain consistent
separation results.
NOTe: Occasionally, the unit may exhibit a pronounced
rhythmic surging of the vibration level during opera-
tion. This can be prevented by stopping the machine
and resetting the power level, changing the number
of sieves in the stack, or changing the weight of the
specimen.
