2. Apparatus properties
The apparatus is classified among those that generally do not reach an acoustic emission of 90 dB(A)
(measured according to DIN 45 635).
The noise caused by the apparatus depends on various factors, such as installation site.
It is therefore impossible to state a general sound pressure level.
Technical Data:
Width/depth/height: 280 x 480 x 460 mm
Weight: approx: 22 kg
Electrical connection: 110–230 VAC / 50–60 Hz
Power draw: 200 W
Weight of drop rod: 300g ± 1 for cement
Additional weight: 700g ± 1 optional
Test cycles:
The apparatus supports various cycle times (0.5, 1, 2, 3, 5, 10, 20 and 30 min). According to the chosen
standard, the apparatus uses one of the following penetration patterns and the chosen cycle time to per-
form the test.
Figure 2: penetration patterns
When in single range mode the check box “use minimum cycle time” is checked,
the apparatus uses minimum cycle time (0.5 min) as soon as the measured val-
ues approaches the ranges defined for initial time of setting and final time of set-
ting. Outside of ranges for initial time of setting and final time of setting, the appa-
ratus uses the chosen cycle time for the test.
