There are no special precautions to be taken when unpacking your system. The following check list is for your convenience: 1. Locate and tick-off the various system components as indicated on the CAL3K-A Check List as per above CAL3K-A INSTALLATION GUIDE V1.1 | www.ddscalorimeters.com... -
Page 8: Setting Up
The 3K-1_A Calorimeter is a desktop unit, which can be installed wherever the laboratory space permits, with two restrictions: 1. The CAL3K-A system, consisting of 3K-1_A Calorimeter, 3K-2 Air Cooler, should be connected to a mains circuit without heavy inductive or SCR switched equipment. It is safe to have balances or other small electronic apparatuses on the same circuit. -

Page 12: How To Test Cal3K-A Hardware
SYSTEM TESTING HOW TO TEST CAL3K-A HARDWARE The CAL3K-A has a hardware test built in, which is referred to as the USER or FIELD TEST. It is activated by entering the following on the calorimeter keyboard: Once you have entered the Field/User Test Mode the CAL3K-A will cycle through all the installed tests. When all CAL3K-A hardware tests are done it will proceed with the vessel test and ask you to insert a vessel and close the lid. -
Page 13: 3K-5 Vessel Test
This test checks the vessel performance inside the calorimeter environment. For this test the vessel must have a firing wire. This test is the last portion of the CAL3K-A hardware test. The unit cycles through the following steps and stops for operator action or when a fault is encountered. -
Page 14: Mass Entry
The mass is a weight in the range 0.2 to 1.5 Gramm. The limits can be set via a PC to suit your operation. Once it is entered it is ‘LOCKED’ in to the present operation until it is ignited. The only way to ‘ERASE’ the mass or ‘UNLOCK’ it is as follows: CAL3K-A INSTALLATION GUIDE V1.1 | www.ddscalorimeters.com | calo@ddsystems.co.za... -
Page 15: Sample Identification
The supplied balance cable (Part No: 3K-BC, D9 to D25) can be connected to a suitable balance and then the weight is transferred automatically to the CAL3K-A display. Then ‘ENTER’ must be pressed to LOCK the mass in to the calorimeter. -
Page 16: Terminate User Test
If a user test ‘hangs’ on a problem, then pressing this key terminates it. It is a little more powerful then Esc. CAL3K-A USER TEST This tests the CAL3K-A hardware. The test cycles through all tests and checks the hardware connections and functionality. A Vessel is not required. Some interaction is required. -
Page 17: Read Result
This step is not absolutely necessary. The weight (mass) of the sample can be transferred manually from the balance to the CAL3K-A and entered on the keyboard. The balance connection cable is included in the kit. If the unit is installed near the balance then connect up. -

5. Close the lid until you hear a click. You may have to press the lid down. 6. The CAL3K-A checks everything out and issue a warning if something is missing. 7. The CAL3K-A will then go into an INITIAL waiting period. The time is indicated in the top line on the LCD screen. -
