4.4 Testing the Equipment
To establish a base line for future testing to verify if the equipment is operating
properly, proceed as follows:
a. Mount 1/2ā disruptor horn (with flat tip if tapped) to converter.
b. Set Output Control to 5, Timer to HOLD and ON/OFF switch to
ON.
c. Record meter reading with horn in air.
Meter Reading______________________
Horn Size__________________________
d. Fill 500 ml pyrex beaker to 500 ml level with room temperature
tap water.
e. Immerse horn tip halfway to 250 ml mark. Set ON/OFF switch
to ON and record meter reading.
Meter Reading_____________________
Perform this test and compare readings periodically, to ensure that the equipment
is operating satisfactorily. These readings are a base for comparison to readings
taken later on. The above meter reading with horn in air should have no greater
than a 10% variation when compared to any future metering readings taken with
horn in air. Likewise, the above meter reading with horn tip immersed halfway to
250mL mark should have no greater than a 10% variation when compared to any
future meter readings taken with the horn tip immersed halfway to 250 mL mark.
If readings are not within tolerance, refer to the Trouble Analysis Chart, on Chap-
ter 7: Maintenance.
