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 and pull out the emergency stop
switch until the “click” (yellow ring is visible). The tumbler starts an adjusting sequence
and stops automatically afterwards. The indicator light will be on and the display will
show the amount of turns and time remaining before starting the test. Then push the
green Start button. The tumbler starts the sequence and stops automatically after 500
rotations and 10 minutes (also shown on the display). 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“). The tumbler starts an adjusting sequence (display shows “Adjusting”) and stops
automatically afterwards.
The indicator light will be on and the display will show the amount of turns and time
remaining before starting the test.
Open the apparatus door, unlock the locking latch of the tumblerbox and take it out to
the front.
As soon as the door is open the display shows “Door Open”.
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 switch off the main switch and
on again. The tumbler starts an adjusting sequence and stops automatically in 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.
User manual TUMBLER 1000+ 8
The display will show the remaining turns and time. The tumbler will stop automatically
after 500 rotations and 10 minutes.
Then the display shows “done”.
Do not open the apparatus door before the tumbler fully stopped. 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.
If the measurement is stopped by the “Stop button” the display first shows “stopping”
and the “stopped”.
Do not open the apparatus door before the tumbler fully stopped. After opening the
door, the display switches to the initial position and will again show the amount of turns
and time remaining before starting the test.
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!

4.1 Guidelines for cleaning
Before any cleaning or servicing disconnect the power plug!
The dust bin should be discharged periodically according to the frequency of usage.
Therefore you should take out the tumblerbox first for easier handling.
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.

5 Guidelines for testing
The determination of the durability of pellets is accurately described in the standard
ISO 17831-1. If you conduct a formal test according to the standard, follow all
instructions precisely.
6 Principle
The instrument is exactly designed according the requirements of the ISO 17831-1
chapter 5.1 and the controller (function principle) ensures the requirements of the ISO
17831-1 chapter 7.1.
7 Calibration / Checking
The apparatus is delivered in a calibrated condition.
A further calibration is not necessary.
Due to a frequency converter it is ensured that the measurement is independent of any
fluctuation in power frequency. The tumbler will always turn 500 rotations and 10
minutes and stop automatically afterwards.
However a periodic check (e.g. 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 an appropriate stop watch it has tobe 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 plate for
the electronic sensor (mounted on the motor shaft), see page 4 pos. 8.
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 16).
