FAQ – Frequently Asked Questions

Why does the nozzle rotate only when the vacuum cleaner is switched on?
For safety reasons, the nozzle does not rotate unless negative pressure is applied to the sieve and the cover is closed.

Can several sieves be mounted on top of each other in the same way as a »sieve tower«?
No, the smallest sieve is used first and is then removed and replaced with the next largest one and so on until all the sieves have been used.

How can I change the language and other settings?
The menu can be activated via the numerical keypad: press 2001 and the space bar. See also P.42 in the instructions.

How can electrostatic charging of the cover be avoided?
Use an antistatic agent, e.g. microdispersed aluminium oxide.

How long does the sieving process take?
There are no hard and fast rules, but it usually takes between 2 and 4 minutes per sieve.

Can I also sieve sticky or moist materials that tend to agglomerate?
Yes, by making use of sieving aids such as Aerosiel or microdispersed silica. We also recommend working with a negative pressure of between 4000 and 5000 Pa.

How often must the sieves be cleaned and what is the procedure?
Visually inspect the sieves and clean as and when necessary. Either brush them carefully to remove residues or ideally, clean them in an ultrasound bath.

Is it possible to recover the sieved fines?
Yes, the fines can be collected in an ALPINE GAZ 125 cyclone and then used for other analyses.

Is the LS-PRO software program compatible for use with Windows 2000 or XP?
Yes, LS-PRO is compatible with all of the following operating systems: Windows 98, ME, CE, 2000, NT, XP.

What are the system requirements to permit installation of LS-PRO on a PC?
Naturally, ALPINE's own PC package would be the best, but otherwise, we recommend Pentium 100 and higher with two unassigned serial interfaces.

Can I also make special requests when ordering?
Yes, of course. We will always try our best to fulfil your wishes.
