OPERATIONAL CHECKOUT
1. Rotate the Thumbwheel (7) to the right for large stones.
2. Press the "ON" button (8).
3. The Wait Lamp (4) will be lit.
4. All other display lamps will remain extinguished for the wait period which
is typically less than nine seconds at room temperature. The time can increase
with low temperatures or a weak battery. After the wait period there is a single
beep.
5. If the waiting time exceeds twenty seconds or the Wait Lamp fails to extinguish
replace the battery.
6. The Diamond Tester is ready to use after the Wait Lamp extinguishes and the
Ready Lamp is lit.
7. When testing is completed always press the "OFF" button. Always
turn off the unit immediately after testing to increase battery life.
AUTOMATIC ALARM
The Diamond Tester will sound alarm after 150 seconds of inactivity. Whenever
the "On" button is pressed the timer resets to 150 seconds. If the
unit alarm sounds before you have completed your test simply press the on button
and continue your testing. Always press the "OFF" button after testing
to prolong battery life.
PREPARATION PRIOR TO TESTING A STONE
· The presence of dust, dirt, film and moisture on a stone may produce
an inaccurate indication.
Therefore, it is prudent to routinely clean the surface
of each stone to be tested by using a damp soft clean fabric followed by drying
using a dry soft clean fabric.
· Remove the protective cover from the probe.
· The tip of the probe should be cleaned frequently by wiping the tip
across the surface of a piece of bonded paper or a business card. Copier paper
and fax
paper are to be avoided.
· The tip of the probe may be damaged by an accidental dropping of the
unit. Always place the protective cover over the probe immediately after use.
Probe tip
damage is exempted from the warranty.
· During testing the users hands should be clean and dry. Do not wear
gloves. One of the User's "bare" fingers must be touching the rear
metal plate.
· The stone to be tested should be allowed to reach room temperature.
· For maximum accuracy, minimize handling of the stone prior to testing.
If the item to be tested consists of a setting containing many stones requiring
more than ten
seconds to test user must avoid heating the setting with his hand;
allow the item to be untouched for about fifteen seconds.
· Best results are obtained by performing tests in still air. Avoid fans,
drafts or air movement from air
conditioning or heating sources. Avoid breathing directly on
the probe tip while
testing.
"DIAMOND TESTING"
1. Choose either: (A) the LARGE (normal) stone position when testing stones
.08 Carat or larger (move the LARGE/SMALL STONE switch to the right). (B)
the
SMALL stone position when testing stones .08 Carat or smaller (move the LARGE/SMALL
STONE switch to the left).
2. The ambient temperature should be between 65°F and 95°F for testing.
3. Hold the diamond tester in your hand so that your fingers are in contact
with the conductive panel (6).
4. With the other hand hold the stone to be tested by its setting.
5. Guide the probe tip to the center of a facet on the stone.
6. Touch the probe tip to the stone so that the probe tip is firmly and squarely
against the facet of the stone. Excessive force which might bend or break the
tip must be avoided.
7. If a diamond is being indicated the green lamp will flash and a beeping sound
("beep, beep, beep") will be heard.
HELPFUL HINTS
· If the red Low Battery lamp remains on and the Ready Lamp doesn't
light within twenty seconds the battery must be replaced.
· Stones being worn, which may be well above room temperature can be
tested immediately using the SMALL STONE setting. Otherwise allow the stone
to return to room temperature before testing.
· When testing a small stone use the SMALL STONE setting and make good
contact against the stone on the first test attempt, otherwise allow the stone
to return to room temperature before retesting.
INTERPRETING THE INDICATION
METAL ALERT - The sounding of a continuous "beep" indicates that
the probe tip is in contact with either users hand or the metal setting. The
remedy is to reposition the probe tip as described under "Diamond testing"
section [5,6].
DIAMOND SIMULANTS - When testing Cubic Zirconium's, "paste", strass
and other diamond simulants no illumination of the green diamond lamp will be
observed.
DIAMONDS - Testing of a genuine diamond will cause the green diamond lamp to
flash and a discontinuous beeping (beep-beep-beep) will sound.
MAINTENANCE
· Always place the protective cover over the probe immediately after
use. Probe tip damage is not covered in the warranty.
· The only maintenance required is: (1.) cleaning the probe tip and (2)
battery replacement.
