MICRO-SEPAROMETER MARK V DELUXE OPERATION MANUAL
supply is available. It also may be operated while connected to an AC power line. Detachable power cords are available
for various voltages. The AC power source will power the unit and charge the battery. A place has been provided in the
cover of the case to store a six-pack of disposable materials for running six tests.

The main features of the Micro-Separometer are shown in Figure 1 thru Figure 3. Figure 1 shows the right hand
panel supporting the emulsifier and syringe drive. Figure 2 shows the control panel. Figure 3 shows the syringe drive
mechanism.
5.2.1 The MAIN POWER is controlled by momentarily depressing the "ON" switch. In the battery mode a steady lamp at
the ON switch location indicates the battery level is sufficient for testing. If the ON lamp flickers during fuel testing the
instrument should be attached to an A.C. power source for battery charging. In the A.C. mode the lamp at the ON
switch location will flash at a steady rate which indicates the A.C. source and instrument supply is ready for testing. The
power is turned off by momentarily depressing the "OFF" switch. If power is inadvertently left on closing the right hand
drive panel will also turn off the instrument. The battery is automatically charged and maintained when the A.C. power
cord is attached to the power line. The A.C. circuit breaker located on the front panel, offers protection for the A.C.
power circuit. D.C. power is protected by an internal fuse.
5.2.2 The TEST SELECT section, switches A through G are utilized to select the various test modes available.
Individual test parameters are described in sections 9.0 through 15.0.
5.2.3 The "RESET" pushbutton, located on the main control panel, automatically resets the electronic program to test
scan and positions the syringe drive into the packing mode.
5.2.4 The SYRINGE DRIVE section is utilized in tests F and G to manually operate the syringe mechanism. "UP" and
"DOWN" switches are operational when indicated by the annunciator lamps.
5.2.5 The PROGRAM section consists of the "START" and "READ" switches. During automatic tests A through E the
"START" switch is used to initiate all automatic programming. The "READ" switch is used during manual tests F and G
to operate the turbidimeter.
5.2.6 The METER adjust section consists of switches labeled with up and down arrows. When the annunciator lamps
are on, the switches allow adjustment of the turbidimeter.
5.2.7 The ALERT section is utilized as an annunciator. The "SYR" indicator will light when the syringe drive elapsed
