2) can be selected to enable sample determinations to be
undertaken
The instrumentation offers 2 modes for sample analysis, AutoRd
will automatically calculate and log a stable sample
concentration. It is recommended this mode is used for routine
sample analysis.

This mode monitors the readings and determines when each ion
is stable. The reading is then locked. This mode is similar to the
Read function except for the following:
If no ions are calibrated an error message is displayed and the

Time To Warm Up #
The figure displayed [#] is time in minutes. To update the warm up
message, exit and re-enter the menu.
NOTE: This does not stop the AutoRead function from being used. If
the remaining warm up time is ignored, stability of results cannot be
guaranteed.
• As each ion becomes stable, the reading locks and the stability
icons will change to **. When all ions are stable the read LED will
illuminate.
• Once the readings are locked, they remain on the display until the
accept key is pressed.
• The display will then prompt to present the next sample. Press
accept to continue.
• With the optional Printer turned ON it will trigger to print only the
calibrated ions.
• The display will then prompt to present the next sample. Press
accept to continue.
