Technical Data“, page 43). Unpacking Procedure Unpack the device. Sartorius recommends keeping the original packaging to return the device appropriately, e.g., for repairs. Acclimatization When a cold device is brought into a warmer area: The temperature difference can lead to condensation from humidity in the device (moisture formation). -
Page 19: Charging The Batteries For The First Time
Installation Charging the Batteries for the First Time The charging procedure is temperature-controlled. This procedure will not operate at too high or low temperatures as this could damage the battery. The temperature is measured inside the filter tester near the battery pack. Requirements For a full recharge, the device must be switched off. -
Page 20: Getting Started
Getting Started Getting Started Turning the Device On Procedure NOTICE Equipment damage due to unsuitable surroundings! Operate the device in dry conditions (see chapter “15.3 Ambient Conditions“, page 43 ). Do not operate or store the device in damp surroundings for a long period of time. -
Page 21: Calculating The Diffusion Rate
Getting Started Before entering the current time, delete the displayed time with the [#] button. Enter a 4-digit time value as follows: 1135 = 11:35 or 0729 = 7:29 (hh:mm) Confirm with the [ ] button to store the new settings. Enter the current date in the same way. -
Page 22: Programming
Getting Started Programming Programming may be performed manually on the device, or with the assis- tance of the SartoControl mini software. Programming using SartoControl mini makes entry of model numbers and series numbers much easier, and is therefore recommended. The device checks the entered test parameters for the lowest possible limit. If the resulting pressure drop deltaP falls below a reasonable limit, a warning will be displayed. - Page 23 Getting Started Enter the test pressure according to the specifications of the filter used. TEST PRESSURE Use the displayed unit of pressure. The test pressure will also be used for ►120mbar > the stabilization phase. > ↑↓ Enter the stabilization period. STABILIZATION TIME ►180sec >...

Page 25: Process Preparation
Process Preparation Process Preparation The device is connected with means of a flexible compressed air tube to the filter housing. Only purified and filtered compressed air to keep the valves clean must be used. WARNING Risk of injury and equipment damage due to unsuitable connection pres- sure! Use only suitable pressure proof tubes. -
Page 26: Operation
Operation Operation A constant ambient temperature should be maintained during diffusion tests as pressure measurement and diffusion rate are affected. Tests should not be conducted directly after the sterilization of the filter with superheat- ed steam; instead, they should only be performed after the filter housing has cooled down to prevent distorted values. - Page 27 Operation If the user code function is activated during device configuration, enter INPUT your [USER CODE] (your personal user ID). USER CODE 123 Update the batch number if needed. FILTER-LOT. > ↑↓ Confirming initiates the documentation of the integrity test. From this START TEST point on the test program runs automatically.
