which must immediately brought to the attention of the carrier so that a statement of damage can be

made.

If equipment damage exists, keep the equipment, crates and packaging materials and file a claim with the

final carrier. Usually, the carrier will send an inspector to ascertain liability.

Send a copy of the claim to AD Systems or to its local distributor.

Please refer to the following website to get address details: www.adsystems-sa.com

Note: Do not return the analyzer or any part to the factory without factory authorization.

Packing list:

1 x SP 10 Instrument

1 x standard test candle with wick tube

1 x Power cord

1 x Operating manual

The various parts of the analyzer are carefully verified and tested before shipping. Nevertheless, it is

worth verifying that the equipment received corresponds to the packing list enclosed.

Principle of the SP 10 apparatus

The SP 10 uses a patented system (License TOTAL RM) based on a video camera that observes the flame

and an actuator that adjusts the size of the flame. The flame image is digitalized and the dedicated

software analyses the shape of the flame during the test. When the flame shape corresponds to the one

described in the test method, the SP 10 memorizes the height of the flame. This specific flame is the one

with the maximum height without generating smoke. After three consecutive readings, the instrument

reports the average value corrected with the lamp factor according to the standard.

SETUP

Install the SP 10 in an air draft free place on a horizontal flat workbench not subject to vibrations. Provide

enough space so that the analyzer can be operated conveniently. Make sure that the cooling fan on rear

panel is not obstructed and keep enough space for access to rear connectors.

Remove the touch screen protection film

Important Notices:

Install the SP 10 on a horizontal flat workbench.

oHorizontal is important! Flame goes strictly vertical at any position of the

instrument. If the SP10 unit is inclined, flame height measurement can be

erroneous.

Do not install the SP 10 under direct sunlight or under light sources

oLight beams or reflections can disturb proper operation of the flame image

detection

Protect the analyzer from air draft

oThe instrument is typically installed in a ventilated fume hood to evacuate smoke

and combustion gases. It is normal installation. But don’t close the fume hood door

that could create strong air flow. This could affect the measurement.

Make sure that the space around the motorized candle conveyor is free

oPut away any objects that could affect free movement

oWhen the conveyor goes down after the test, make sure that there is no any

objects under the conveyor.

Avoid any vibration of the instrument during the measurement.

Prevent the instrument from power supply spikes or sudden power failures.

Make sure that the cooling fan on rear panel is not obstructed and keep enough space for

access to rear connectors
