General information Manufacturer's designation Manufacturer's designation: please see the cover page of this Operating Manual Designation of the model itself: Please see the nameplate (rating plate) on the unit. It provides all the characteristics and the electrical rating data. Purpose for which this system has been designed This Operating Manual contains the information required for operation of the products described here, for the purpose for which they have been designed.
The Manufacturer cannot accept any responsibility for any damages that occur owing to false use of this apparatus. This operating manual contains safety instructions .that are to be observed in order to exclude any risk of fatalities, injuries, damage to the equipment or improper operation. Safety markings are as follows: Caution This warning refers to dangers that could cause material damage.
The Manufacturer guarantees trouble-free operation only if the User observes the in structions in this Operating Manual, and only if the User employs the Blaine Apparatus for the purpose for which it is intended. The Manufacturer cannot be held liable for damages that may occur if the Blaine Appa ratus is used for purposes for which it is not intended, or if the User does not observe the instructions and rules for operation as set forth in this Operating Manual.
If there are any malfunctions or other trouble that could cause dangerous situations to arise in work with the Blaine Apparatus, these difficulties must be immediately corrected before working with the apparatus. Danger The mixing of cement with water causes the release of alkaline sub stances.
• Send a specialized fitter/installer to your plant, or • Ask that you return the system to us for repair. 1.6.2 Transport This system will be delivered in the appropriate cardboard boxes. In order to prevent transport damage, the remaining hollow spaces in the interior of the boxes will be filled with bulk material.
Instructions for electrical connection Danger The electrical connections must be made by properly qualified electri cians. Before making the power connections, make sure that your power supply is in accordance with the required power and frequency ratings given in these instructions and on the equipment rating plate. The power plug must have a safety device (an overcurrent trip) that protects the system against overcurrent.

Calibration of the apparatus 4.4.1 General instructions The Blaine Apparatus Model 1.0297 is not calibrated before being de Note livered to the User. To determine the constant of the Blaine Apparatus, it is necessary to run 3 testing cycles with at least 3 different sample weights. The mean (average) value is then calculated. The determination of the apparatus constants takes place as described in EN 196-6.
Name: Enter the reference name in this field. You can manage the calibra- tion substances by entering or removing these names. Density: Enter the density of the calibration substance. Specific surface: Enter the specific surface of the calibration substance. Apparatus con- The present constant for the calibration substance will be displayed.
