Cup Empty Time
The Cup Empty Time option determines the amount of time allotted for
evacuation of sample from the sample cup prior to the beginning of the
wash sequence. Select a value from 1 to 255 seconds for this option. The
evacuation time should be adjusted so the highest expected viscosity oil is
evacuated from the cup before the solvent is introduced into the solvent
chamber. Improper adjustment may result in solvent overflow if/when
solvent is evacuated into a waste line that still contains sample residue.
CAUTION
Be careful to consider bath temperature(s) and potential solvent hazards
when selecting solvents for use with the miniPV Series instrument.
CAUTION
Make certain to replace the sample vial with an empty vial prior to raising
the vial holder. Otherwise, solvent may overflow.
NOTE
When you have completed the configuration and saved the current wash
settings, you may wish to permanently store the current instrument
settings using the Save Instrument and Tray Settings.
Tray Settings: Advanced
Select the Tray Settings: Advanced menu item to open the Tray
Settings: Advanced window used to define additional operational
parameters for sample testing with the miniPV Series instrument. It may
be necessary for you to log in as a Manager to access Advanced
settings.
CAUTION
Advanced settings will ordinarily be configured by a technician from
CANNON

Instrument Company when the instrument is initially installed.
Advanced settings should only be adjusted by or in consultation with a
representative from CANNON
