Assembly and starting up 5.1 Assembly Before the first use the apparatus has to be assembled or converted for use with the desired options: • Fold up the tool holder (4). • Loosen the screws of the sample frames (6) with a quarter-turn and remove the sample frames (6).
To protect persons and apparatus, proper care must be taken when lifting or carrying it. It is recommended to hold and carry the Proceq ZAA 2600 on both sides of the housing. Always remove the sample tray before lifting or tilting the device.
5.3 Shutdown Turn off the device by pressing the power button (10). The display will turn off and the device is shutting down. Before removing the power cable, turn off the main switch (15). 5.4 Glass plate The provided delivered glass plate is used for the optional modification sets, mainly such as application.
Scrub test 6.1 Preparation Before the apparatus is prepared for scrub tests, you should have decided: • according to which standard the scrub test should be carried out • which friction set you will be using • if an even or a curved sample will be inserted Up to 4 identical or different friction sets can be used at the same time, depending on the friction material, the sample surface, the speed and the test load.
The weight of the friction sets will only be reached if the knurled nut is mounted. To avoid ejection of weights they have to be screwed to the holder. 6.1.2 Use of the friction sets: Use of the friction sets for ISO 11998: •...

Use of the universal holder: • Clamp the abrasive medium between the two blocks. • Slide on the selected additional weight and screw it in place. Spare foam cushion Spare hard rubber cushion For tests on medium hard surfaces (e.g. plastic plate) it is recommended to equip the holder only with the hard rubber cushion.
For tests on hard surfaces (e.g. painted steel plate), it is recommended to mount the supplied foam cushion between the hard rubber cushion and the abrasive. As a result, the abrasive is better adapted to the substrate. Mounting for hard surfaces Vibrations may occur during tests on rubber-like surfaces (e.g.

• Move the tool holder (4) either with or manually to the back part of the sample. • Press the „Zero“ button on the touchscreen to set the start position. Note: Do not zero directly at the start stop (1), but at least ca. 3 mm in front. •...
Operation and Menu 7.1 Main screen The Proceq ZAA 2600 is equipped with a capacitive touch screen with a glass front. The touch screen is configured to allow operation with gloves up to 1 mm thickness. The most important settings can be accessed directly from the main screen. The menu is used for any additional settings.
move slowly. If the button is held for more than a second, the speed will increase. Alternatively the tool holder (4) can also be moved by pushing it forward or backwards in the middle of the holder. 7.1.2 Zero the scrub tester The current position of the tool holder (4) can be set to 0 by pressing the „Zero“...
If the device is equipped with the appropriate modification set, also other tests like crocking, scratching or applications can be carried out with the Proceq ZAA 2600 universal unit. These functions are always integrated in the menu, however they are not working without the modification sets.
7.1.10 Lock The lock blocks all movement commands of the tool holder (4). It can be activated and deactivated by tapping the lock button. If the button is in the „armed“ setting, all functions are active. If the button is in the „locked“ setting, the functions „Scrubbing”, “Manual forward”...

Open the menu by pressing the „Menu“ button. Go back a level by pressing the „Back“ button. Return to the main screen by pressing the „Home“ button. 7.3 Using layouts Layouts are memory slots with a custom set name which store a saved application profile (cycle speed and stroke length).
7.3.3 View and edit all layouts To show all existing layouts, select „All layouts“ in the menu. A list of all saved layouts will be displayed. The active layout will be shown as “selected”. To change the name or settings of a layout, tap the relevant entry in the list. The values can then be changed in the same way as described in chapter 7.3.2 “Editing the selected layout”...
7.5 Reset With the „Reset“ button the cycle counter (double stroke counter) will be reset. This cannot be undone. If the „Reset“ button has been tapped this message appears which has to be either confirmed or rejected. 7.6 Status messages 7.6.1 Overload "Motor has stopped because of overload.
The fields for cycle speed and stroke length are marked red. After tapping on the information symbol a message will appear that either the cycle counts or the cycle speed are too high. Solution: The motor cannot reach the preset number of double strokes with the preset stroke length and speed.
Pressing the Emergency Stop button (11) immediately stops the motor. The power supply of the motor is interrupted so that the tool holder (4) can be moved by hand. The touch screen and control unit of the Proceq ZAA 2600 remain active since only the power supply is interrupted.
For available options for crockmeter tests please refer to chapter 3.5 “Options for crockmeter tests” on page 12. A guideline for selecting the suitable equipment according to the desired standards can be found in the document „Equipment for Crockmeter tests“ available at: www.proceq.com Page 37...

Converting from scrub tester into basic unit Thanks to its modular construction, the automatic universal unit can be equipped with different kits for carrying out applications, washability, crocking and scratch resistance tests as well as recording of the drying time. Before mounting an optional modification set, the device has to be converted to basic unit.
10 Converting from basic unit into scrub tester Always unplug the power cable before assembling and/or converting the unit. • Remove the start stop (1) and the end stop (2). • Loosen the fixing screws of the side panels (18) and remove the side panels (17).
