Syringe Mode (LMA100P only)
  When testing samples with a highly 
volatile component such as paint, to 
achieve the most accurate results it is 
desirable to use the LMA100P syringe 
mode� This mode consists of obtaining 
the initial sample weight by recording 
the difference between a syringe full 
of sample and after sample has been 
dispensed� Results are displayed in the 
selected unit�
  To select syringe mode:
§  Press the 9 key from the Program menu 
to display the Mode screen�
§  Press the 2 key for Syringe� The display 
will return to the Program menu�
  To test samples in the Syringe mode:
§  Open the heater hood, place a sample 
pad on a pan and close the hood�
§  Press the Start|Stop key to begin a test�
§  The analyzer will automatically tare the 
pan and sample pad�
§  At the prompt, open the hood and 
remove both the pan and pad� Then 
place the full syringe on the pan sup-
port and close hood� The analyzer will 
take the full weight of the syringe with 
sample�
§  At the prompt, remove the syringe from 
the pan support�
§  At the prompt, replace the pan and pad� 
Then add sample to the pad�
§  At the prompt, remove the pan and pad�
§  At the prompt, place the empty syringe 
back on the pan support, close hood� 
The analyzer will now read the empty 
syringe weight�
§  At the prompt, remove the empty 
syringe�
§  At the prompt, replace the pan with 
sample on the pad back onto the pan 
support and close the hood to start the 
test�
§  The analyzer will enter the test mode� 
When the test is done, the results will be 
reported in the selected unit�
  Note 
  If for some reason the automatic  
transition in the steps of the syringe 
mode does not advance to the next 
step, the Enter key may be used to 
advance the step�
