If the flashpoint is not known enter 10°C for the start temperature for the first time. The result should be taken as an
approximate one. Perform a test again with a start temperature 18 °C (64,4 °F) below the flashpoint. If the start
temperature is set too high, above the flashpoint of the sample, the true flashpoint can’t be detected since it is
somewhere below the adjusted start temperature.
If the start temperature is set to low, the test time is unnecessarily long. For a quick estimate of the flashpoint of a
sample the faster screening method can be used to evaluate the range where the flashpoint is present to get an
adequate measuring range.
Tf is the final heating temperature. Tf must be above the expected flashpoint of the sample, otherwise the device will
finish the measurement with the result “no flash”.
Ti-T: This parameter cools the oven below the set temperature before starting the measurement cycle. The possible
settings are 0-9°C.

Every different adjustment for different samples can be saved as a new template on the unit with different names.
This should allow the user to create own templates which can be overwritten and deleted from the unit.
