5. check measures the effect of all the contaminants and electro chemicals that occur in synthetic and petroleum based oils This is achieved by detecting and measuring the oils dielectric constant By comparing the measurements obtained from used and unused oils of the same make and grade Oilcheck is able to determine the degree of change in oils dielectric constant Dielectric change is directly related to the contamination level and degradation of the oil and will allow the user to achieve longer intervals between oil changes and immediately detect increased mechanical wear and loss of the oils lubricating properties OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS Calibration 1 Note before calibration it is important to ensure the sensing cell is clean and dry as moisture and contamination will adversely affect the results 2 All testing should be undertaken with the unit switched in the LO position The HI position is for use where oil samples are very heavily contaminated Step 1 Half fill the sensing cell with clean oil ensuring that the whole surface of the sensor cell is well covered with oil For best results oil of the same type and grade should be used as is used in the system being evaluated Step 2 Turn the rotary switch from the OFF position to the LO position LO the display will complete a full sweep and return to the zero position The display will show with the Cal symbol flashing If during testing the Cal
