The Total Lubmarine Rapid Oil Test Gauge is a high precision battery operated digital lubricant testing gauge intended to measure and monitor
the water content of lubricants up to 1.5% H2O and/or the remaining alkaline reserve (BN) of lubricants up to 140 BN.
The gauge can be controlled locally by the operator using a front panel display and special function keys.
A USB communication port can be used to download test results to a computer.

5. Initial start-up
6. Battery
A battery power indicator is located in
the upper left corner of the
display screen.
When the battery power indicator
flashes, change the battery as
soon as possible.
Note:
When first powered on after the battery
has been replaced, the instrument
clock must be adjusted.
Upon delivery the battery of the Rapid Oil Test Gauge should be connected and the internal clock should be adjusted.
No other adjustment is required; the instrument is ready to be used.
The 9 volts 6LR6I/PP3 battery which powers your Rapid Oil Test Gauge should provide two years operation or more.
Installing the battery:
1- Remove the battery cover
from the back of the Rapid Oil
Test Gauge.
2- Insert the top of the
battery in the compartment
with terminals facing up,
observing proper polarity as
shown on the label .
3- Firmly push the battery
upwards, then swing its
bottom fully inside the
compartment.
4- Replace the cover.
Removing the battery:
1- Remove the battery cover
from the back of the Rapid Oil
Test Gauge.
2- Push the battery
downwards.
3- Swing the top of
the battery out of the
compartment, then take it
fully out.
4- Replace the cover.

Operating the Rapid Oil Test Gauge

In order to ensure the accuracy of subsequent tests and to preserve the instrument over time, the Rapid Oil Test Gauge must always be kept
clean and dry :
7. Preserving the Rapid Oil Test Gauge
8. Maintenance
Any trace of oil, solutions or reagents
shall be removed from the gauge and
reaction flask after each use. Special
attention should be paid to the measuring
port which must be kept perfectly free,
and to the internal O’ring.
Use dedicated cleaning fabric or
absorbing paper for cleaning purpose.
Proper cleaning solvents include White
Spirit or Petroleum Distillates p/n DP6133.
Do not use petroleum ether or equivalent.
The Lubmarine Rapid Oil Test Gauge was designed for maintenance free operation.
No maintenance is required apart from:
• Keeping the instrument clean with its O’ring greased as described in §7.
• Replacing the battery when necessary.
• In line with your Quality Assurance system: recalibrating the instrument at regular intervals.
From time to time check the state of the reaction flask and look for potential mechanical or chemical fatigue (cracks, wear…).
Never use a reaction flask which shows signs of mechanical or chemical fatigue as it may break under the high pressure generated by the
water and/or BN test.
It is recommended to grease from time to
time the internal O’ring using silicon free
grease p/n DP6108.
The battery compartment cap and USB
port cap should be kept in place at all
times in order to protect the internal
electronics of the instrument.

The Rapid Oil Test Gauge has an internal clock which is used to time stamp test results when they are stored in the instrument memory.
To adjust the internal clock:
The Lubmarine Rapid Oil Test Gauge has an alarm function which can warn the operator in case of:
- Excessive water in oil content
- Insufficient oil alkaline reserve (low BN)*
If the function is On, the water in oil content or the BN value* is evaluated at the end of each test and the instrument shows if the test result is
acceptable or not. The information is also stored in the instrument memory with the test result.
The default settings of the function are:
- Function status: Off
- Water content alarm set to 1.5 %H2O
- BN alarm* set to 1 BN
5- The year is displayed.

1. Product overview
5. Operation
6. Maintenance
• Starting up
- Connect the appliance to a socket (the voltage stated on the nameplate must correspond to the mains voltage).
- Set the knob to the left stop (you will hear and feel it clicking into place).
- Place the stir bar in the Rapid Oil Test Gauge reaction flask.
(Refer to the appropriate section of the manual for Water Test and BN Test instructions).
- Place the Rapid Oil Test Gauge on the very centre of the Power Stirrer plate.
- Set the speed using the knob:
Turn to right to increase speed
Turn to left to reduce speed
- Allways try to achieve the maximum speed delivering maximum fluctuations.
- Excessive stirring power may cause a loss of the magnetic connection between the Power Stirrer and the Stir Bar.
If such loss occurs, reduce stirring power by turning the knob to the left until the magnetic connection between the
Power Stirrer and the Stir Bar is recovered making the Stir Bar rotating again, then increase stirring speed.
• Shutting down
- Set the knob to the left stop (you will hear and feel it clicking into place), the motor is switched off.
- Disconnect appliance from mains when not in use
Unpack the device carefully and check that all items are present and have no visible damage.
In case of any damage a detailed report must be set immediately (post, rail or forwarder).
Delivery includes: 1 ea. Power Stirrer, 2 ea. stir bars, 1 ea. Power supply unit, 1 ea. plastic pliers.
The device is maintenance-free.
For cleaning disconnect the plug-in power supply unit.
Only use cleansing agents which have been recommended by GESERCO or LUBMARINE.
