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�
