3 Unpacking / Installation / First operation 3.1 Unpacking Before using the apparatus for the first time check the delivery for damages and completeness on the following components:
Main body
Tumbler-Box
Dust bin
Mains lead
Adjusting screw
Switch box key
Damages caused by transport have to be cleared with the freight company immediately. Later complaints cannot be approved.
3.2 Installation Unpack the apparatus and place it on a firm level surface (e.g. laboratory table). If necessary, adjust the adjusting screw on the right side of the apparatus so that all 4 stands have secure contact with the surface. Connect the mains lead to a suitable electricity supply.
3.3 First operation Ensure that the tumblerbox is positioned in a correct manner in the apparatus and secured with the locking latch. The locking latch can be adjusted by screwing, if necessary. Ensure that the dust bin is placed under the tumblerbox and the apparatus door is closed properly. Switch on the On/Off switch. Wait at least 5 seconds. Then push the green Start button. The tumbler starts the sequence and stops automatically after 500 rotations or 10 minutes, respectively. The test cycle can be interrupted by pressing the red Stop button or the emergency stop switch. The tumbler also stops if the apparatus door is opened during operation. Check all these functions (check also chapter 6).
After carrying out these tests the tumbler is ready for operation.
If the apparatus fails to operate, please go to the chapter 7 fault finding.

4 Operating instructions Connect the power plug to a suitable electricity supply and switch on the main switch („On“). Open the apparatus door, unlock the locking latch of the tumblerbox and take it out to the front. If the tumblerbox is not in home position so that you are unable to open the locking latch or take out the box, close the apparatus door and push the start button. The tumbler turns with creep speed into home position so that the box can be taken out. Fill the tumblerbox with 500 ± 10g pellets, which where sieved before with a round hole sieve according ISO 3310-2 with a diameter of 3,15mm. Then put the box back into the apparatus. Lock the locking latch and close the apparatus door. Push the start button. The tumbler starts the test sequence and stops automatically after 500 rotations or 10 minutes, respectively. Do not open the apparatus door before the tumbler fully stopped. Otherwise the box cannot be removed. Unlock the locking latch of the tumblerbox and remove it to the front. The mechanical stress is finished. According to normative requirements the pellets sample has to be sieved and weighed. The difference between initial weight and output weight is the abrasion.
The dust bin should be discharged periodically according to the frequency of usage.
On the back side of the apparatus is a small blue lever on the air vent grid (see page 4 pos. 5), which has to be switched up to be able to change the filter. The filter has to be controlled periodically respectively changed as needed.
To safeguard the apparatus against unauthorized use the main switch should be locked with a commercial padlock.
The switch box should be opened only by the service technician or on his recommendation from a qualified staff!

5 Guidelines for testing The determination of the durability of pellets is accurately described in the standard EN 15210-1. If you conduct a formal test according to the standard, follow all instructions precisely.
6 Calibration / Checking The apparatus is delivered in a calibrated condition. A further calibration is not necessary. However a periodic check (minimum once a year) of the specified functions is recommended. Therefore you have to open the switch box with the switch box key. Then the tumbler has to be started. With a appropriate stop watch it has to be checked that the tumbler rotates accurately 50 2 times and stops after 500 rotations or after 10 minutes, respectively. You can check the motor shaft speed clearly by the metal plate for the electronic sensor (mounted on the motor shaft). If all these requirements are met, the apparatus is still calibrated. If there are any deviations the electronic control has to be recoded. Please contact the after sales service (contact see page 14).
