11. Always clean the instrument after use to avoid subsequent inaccuracies and/or damage to the equipment. 12. Gibertini Elettronica s.r.l. does not accept any legal liability for damages or other consequences due to mishandling of the instrument or its accessories.
ENGLISH DensiMat 2. GENERAL DESCRIPTION AND TECHNICAL CHARACTERISTICS The instrument consists of an electronic hydrostatic balance DENSIMAT, with a sensitivity of fifth decimal points. GENERAL SPECIFICATIONS ≥ 15 minutes Warm-up time +15°C / +30°C Operating temperature RS232 I/O Data output...
Institutes such as the L.N.E. of Paris, the I.M.G.C. of Turin, the PTB in Germany etc. 3. INSTALLATION Densimat was designed and made to resist and to function even under difficult conditions. However, it is advisable to install Densimat: on a rigid support without vibrations in a stable room temperature and without excessive ventilation utilizing a separate electrical supply.

Connect the circular socket of the transformer (fig. 3 n. 6) to the connector of Densimat (fig. 3 n. 3) keeping the flat side of pin upwards. Connect the transformer to the socket (fig. 3 n. 5) of the electric mains.
DensiMat 3.2 DENSIMAT KEYBOARD The Densimat keyboard (fig. 4) has two displays and three keys. On the left display it appears the temperature read by thermo probe; on the right display it appears: a. specific gravity, with the parameters of standard functioning;...

Centering plate For this scope a thermostatic bath (manufactured by Gibertini Elettronica), where the vessel containing the liquid under examination is be put, is useful. - 8 -...
4.2 DETERMINATION OF THE DENSITY OF A LIQUID AT 20°C To calculate the density of a liquid at 20 °C multiply its specific gravity d read by 20/20 the Densimat by the density of the water at 20 °C, that is: liq x 0,998203 20/20 - 9 -...
"Compensation" occurs by modifying from the keyboard the answer of the Densimat in standard conditions controlling the correspondence between read value and theoretical value.
5. BEHAVIOUR OF THE INSTRUMENT WHEN SWITCHING ON AND CONDITIONS FOR OPTIMAL MEASUREMENTS At the moment when Densimat is switched on, the following message appears on the right display: d x – x x where X-XX are the numerical values that indicate the installed release on instrument, giving therefore an useful indication for technical service if it is necessary.

During the calibration cannot be use the instrument. At the moment of switching on of the Densimat a period of ten minutes of thermal stabilization is needed during which the instrument carries out automatically a calibration each minute and, even if possible, it is not advisable to carry out measurements.
ENGLISH DensiMat 6. APPENDIX A: LIST OF PRINCIPAL MESSAGES DISPLAYED The fixed messages warn the operator that some process is in progress. No intervention is needed. flashing messages warn an anomalous condition or they ask for an intervention of the operator.
ENGLISH DensiMat 7. APPENDIX B: POSSIBLE OPTIONS FROM DENSIMAT KEYBOARD Pressing the key MODE it enters in following options: CorrP CorrC LuLd and that it shows in order pressing repeatedly the key MODE. To activate one of them press the key " + ". To return to operative mode press the key " - ".
ENGLISH DensiMat NOTE: if the Densimat stops working because of an incorrect manoeuvre on the keyboards, remove the plug and connect it again in the socket keeping pressed the key " + ". As soon as the instrument is switched on again the following...
ENGLISH DensiMat Fix the cylinder on the Densimat with the spring as shown in figure 8. Connect the tubes to the cylinder for measurements in continuo. Insert into the inside of the cylinder the appropriate " net to break bubbles ", pushing it to the bottom.
The check must be carried out at least 1 hour after the switching on of the instrument using certified masses in E2 class. Press the key "MODE" on Densimat until the display shows "PAr" and confirm with the key " + "; the display shows "P0=00".

ENGLISH DensiMat 10. DISPOSAL – INFORMATION FOR USERS According to the 2002/95/CE, 2002/96/CE and 2003/108/CE Directives, concerning the reduction in the use of hazardous substances in electrical and electronic apparatus, as well as the disposal of waste materials The symbol of a crossed box applied on the apparatus or on the packaging indicates that the product must be collected separately from other waste materials at the end of its useful life.
