General information

The LI-3100C Area Meter precisly measures area (length and width) of objects in bio-

logical, industrial, and other applications.

Instrument function

Samples are placed between the guides on the lower transparent belt and allowed to

pass through the instrument. As items travel under the 15 watt fluorescent light

source, the object is reflected by a system of three mirrors to a solid state scanning

camera within the rear housing.

Width is sensed by the scanning camera. Length information is provided by the cur-

rent frequency as related to the belt velocity. Area integration is accomplished by

components of the main printed circuit board mounted on the instrument rear plate

(Figure 2-1 on page2-2).

Data are presented on the light emitting diode (LED) display. Decimal location on

the display is changed to suit the 1.0 or 0.1 mm2resolution requirement (Changing

measurement resolution on page4-1). Alternatively, data can be collected, displayed,

and stored using a PC (see Using the Windows® interface software on page5-1).

Operational features

The LI-3100C features interchangeable 1.0 mm2and 0.1 mm2resolution capability

that is furnished with a single 28 mm camera lens. A 25 cm wide sample guide is

provided for both 1.0 mm2and 0.1 mm2resolution configurations.

The upper belt assembly can be removed for operations hindered by the upper belt.

Sample thickness can then be increased to 2.5 cm (see Removing the upper belt

assembly on page8-1).

Section 2.

Preparations

The following procedures must be performed before using the LI-3000C for the first

time:

lTighten the transparent belts

lInstall the 15 watt fluorescent tube

lRemove the lens cover

lSet the voltage selector at the proper position and check to see if the correct fuse

is installed

Each of these procedures is discussed below.

Rear housing removal

The rear housing must be removed in order to adjust the belt tension and to install

the fluorescent tube. Using the 5/32" (4 mm) hexagonal key provided, remove the

four retaining screws (one at each end, one at the center front edge on top, and one

at the center bottom edge at the rear). Lift the housing from the instrument.

Transparent belt tension adjustment

Perform the following steps to tighten the transparent belts.

1Loosen the large knurled knobs located on each sliding pulley bearing block.

Rear sliding bearing blocks are visible in Figure 2-1 on the next page. Front sliding

bearing blocks are visible in Figure 2-2 on page2-3.

2Coarse adjustment is performed by simultaneously sliding both bearing blocks for one pulley.

2-1LI-3100C Area Meter Manual

Section 2. Preparations

The knurled knobs can be tightened sufficiently by rotating them with the thumb

and index finger while holding tension on the bearing block with the remaining fin-

gers of the same hand.

3Fine adjustments are performed by twisting the block adjustment screw to push the sliding bear-

ing block.

The knurled knobs located on the pulley bearing blocks must be loosened to allow

block movement.
