For automated Vicat testing, treat the instrument as a precision bench-top tester and keep hands clear of the needle path, sliding component, and screw lifting system while the cycle is running. Set it on a stable, dry surface, use the specified 220 V, 50 Hz power supply, and follow your lab’s PPE and dust-control practices when preparing cement paste.

Before each run, confirm the specimen cup, needle, and alignment, then let the automatic calibration and position memory work only after the setup is correct. Keep tools, water, and loose materials away from the test area so the touchscreen and motion system stay unobstructed and repeatable.
