CHAPTER III -- DESCRIPTION OF CONTROLS
A. ELECTRONIC CONTROL PANEL
The electronic control panel processes the analog signal from the pressure
transducer in the Concrete Tester, then displays it in accurate digital values.
Keys are provided to set initial operating parameters, to activate gathering of
data, and to process the data once it has been collected.
* Please refer to the Operating Instructions for the 37-4855 ADR Digital
Readout Unit for further details.
B. HYDRAULIC PUMP CONTROLS
1. POWER - The black toggle switch (On/Off) on top of the motor is used to
switch power to the hydraulic pump.
2. CONTROL HANDLE - This control has four positions.
RETRACT - When the handle is in this position, with the pump motor running,
the loading ram retracts. By stopping the motor, speed of retraction may be
increased.
HOLD - When the handle is in this position, the load applied by the ram is held
unchanged.

International
METERED ADVANCE - When the handle is in this position, with the pump
motor running, the ram slowly advances at a rate or speed which depends
upon the METERING VALVE setting. Use this position when the specimen is
being loaded.
FULL ADVANCE - When the handle is in this position, with the pump motor
running, the ram advances very quickly. Use this position to close the gap
quickly between the platen and specimen. The FULL ADVANCE stops when
you set the handle to METERED ADVANCE and the platen advances at the
rate set by the metering valve knob.
3. METERING VALVE - Turn this knob to increase (counter clockwise) or

decrease (clockwise) the loading rate. During the test, the pace deviation
display on the control panel should be held close to 0% by carefully turning
this knob in the proper direction. Turning this knob counter clockwise
produces positive deviation; turning it clockwise produces negative deviation
or slows the rate of loading.
NOTE: This metering valve is monitored by the two red bars on PACE
DEVIATION RATE display. Try to keep these bars within the range close to
"0" (Zero).

CHAPTER IX -- SERVICE INSTRUCTIONS
A. MAINTENANCE
1. Clean up specimen breakage after each test. Remove any breakage which
may have fallen under the lower bearing block.
2. The hydraulic pump motor has a thermal protection. If the motor is

overheated, the red button on top of the motor pops up. Wait until the motor
cools off. Depress the red button.
3. Keep level of oil in reservoir between 1/2 to 1" (12.7 to 25.4 mm) below the top
of the filling opening (2 gal. capacity) when the cylinder is fully retracted.
4. Drain, clean and replenish the reservoir with high grade hydraulic oil
(ELE/Soiltest Part No. 9806-0017) yearly or more often if necessary. The
frequency of oil change will depend upon the general working conditions,
severity of use and overall cleanliness and care given the pump.
Suggested method of removing hydraulic oil could be using a drill-powered

pump with flexible tubing that will not require priming of the pump. Such
pumps are available at your local hardware store. Possible model number
55432 “chuckmaster” manufactured by Simer. Discard used oil in accordance
to all applicable laws.
CAUTION: Do not remove hydraulic oil when hot.
5. Oil the spherical ball on the upper platen once a week with "Oak Protect 408"
(ELE/Soiltest Part No. 9806-0022).

control box.
2. The pressure transducer is located in the back of the unit. A defective

transducer requires replacement and recalibration of the unit. Contact Soiltest
Service Department. For replacement purposes, note the model number and
value of the transducer to be replaced.
D. TROUBLESHOOTING
1. If the control panel does not function, check the fuse in the Digital Readout
WARNING: Be sure to DISCONNECT the power cord before you replace the
fuse.
2. If the control valve does not work, dirt may be holding the spool valve (Fig.
3, #26) in position. (This spool must be free to slide in the body to control the
loading rate of the cylinder.) Clean the spool by removing end plugs #23 and
#28, gently removing the spring #25, and pushing the spool out with the eraser
end of a lead pencil. Look for contamination, clean the spool and reinsert in
housing, checking that it slides freely. Replace the spring and end plugs. Put
clean oil in the reservoir.
. Cleaning the spool is the only field repair that should be attempted on the
valve. For any other problems, return the valve to ELE/Soiltest Service
Department for replacement.
3. If oil appears around the bottom of the lower platen, the oil wiper or seal
may have to be replaced. Contact ELE/Soiltest Service Department to
determine the extent and cause of leakage.
