BN Analysis Quick Start Guide
This guide is only if you test piston underside (used) oil for
engines of 1 - 8 cylinders. Refer to the appropriate section(s)
in this guide if you have more cylinders or multiple engines or
want to test clean (inlet) oil.
1. Press the power button on top of the FluidScan to boot the
device to the BN Menu. BN Test is selected by default.
2. Press the Select button to open the Select Label screen:
3. Scroll to highlight a cylinder from 1 - 8 and press Next.
4. You may be prompted to run a new Background check or to clean the test cell. As soon as
you see the Cell is Clean message, you can begin measuring samples. Press OK.
STOP: Do not press OK again until AFTER you have placed the fluid in the test cell AND
returned the cell to the test position. Otherwise the test will start before the sample is ready.
5. Open the test cell and add 2 drops of oil to the glass:
6. Flip the top half of the cell over and let the magnets close
and seal the cell properly. Do not lift the bottom half to meet
the top half, otherwise the fluid could run off the glass.
7. Return the cell to the housing before you press OK.
Otherwise, you will see the Cell is Out message and you will
have to cancel the test and start over again.
8. Press OK. Results will appear similar to this example.

Results in green are in the Safe operating area (BN >25
mgKOH/g).
Results in yellow are in the Alert operating area between
~10 mgKOH/g and ~25 mgKOH/g.
Results in red are in the Danger area (<10 mgKOH/g). You

must not operate in this area. There may also be more alarm
information presented such as the presence of excessive
soot in the sample that would adversely affect test results:

Q1200-Series FluidScan Overview

The Q1200-Series Lubricant Condition Monitor is a family of FluidScans which, as a minimum,
measure the BN of piston underside (PUS) drain oil without the need for new oil references.
Developed in close cooperation with Winterthur Gas & Diesel (WinGD) and Wärtsilä Services, it
provides ship engineers and marine engine builders with an almost instantaneous, highly
accurate way to optimize marine 2-stroke cylinder lubrication: a hand-held infrared analyzer that
measures BN levels based on a sample size of only 2-3 drops of oil.
The Q1200-Series FluidScan represents a dramatic improvement over current testing methods
where oil is typically measured off-site at oil analysis labs or aboard ship using a shaker test kit.
FluidScan eliminates the need for a specialized environment for handling hazardous chemicals
like perchloric acid. It also eliminates the need for a specialist's interpretation of the results,
further reducing the cost and time involved in accurate BN analysis.
FluidScan delivers instant fluid condition assessment based on ASTM D7889.

BN (Cylinder Lube Oil) is correlated to ASTM D2896.
TBN (system and Engine oil) is correlated to ASTM D4739.
A FluidScan can be connected to a computer and managed using a free application called Fluid
Manager. Fluid Manager software and documentation is included with the FluidScan.
It can be used as a stand-alone device or used in tandem with other Spectro Scientific devices.
How it Works
FluidScan measures the oil absorbence spectrum in the mid infrared range of 2.5 –12 μm.
Instead of using FTIR technology, which is more widely used in oil analysis laboratories, a
diffraction grating based optics with detector arrangement is used for better portability and
durability.
2
A small sample of 2 - 3 drops is placed in a glass test cell.
Infrared light is beamed at the fluid sample and any light passing through the glass goes into a
waveguide, which totally encloses the infrared beam thereby minimizing interference while
maximizing efficiency.
The waveguide then carries the light to and from a prism-like diffraction grating and finally passes
into an array detector which collects the infrared spectrum of the fluid sample.
Figure 1. FluidScan Light Path
Key infrared signatures of fluid condition, established by the Joint Oil Analysis Program Technical
Support Center (JOAP-TSC) and established norms for predictive maintenance and fluid quality
control are used to obtain fluid status in real time (ref: www.ASTM.org). Status and supporting
fluid condition parameters are determined and displayed and the information can be stored
locally or exported.
FluidScan has algorithms for many of the world’s most common lubricant types stored in
memory. These algorithms provide a calibration for most lubricant types so it is not necessary to
physically measure a sample of untainted fluid to provide a baseline for comparative analysis.

Marine Engine Cylinder Oil BN Management
Please note: some of the information provided in this section has been taken from the Wärtsilä
Technical Bulletin RT-161 Issue 2, September 2015, to which you should also refer. This
document is not intended to replace documentation provided by your engine or vessel builder.
Cylinder lubrication in a 2-stroke marine engine has three basic functions:

• Build an optimal oil film between the cylinder liner and the piston rings.
• Keep the piston, piston rings and cylinder liner free of deposits and damage caused by
cold corrosion with the detergent and dispersant properties of the cylinder lubricating oil.
• Neutralize the sulfuric acid formed during combustion.
This user guide supports operators who need to optimize LOFR (lube oil feed rates) to:
• Ensure the optimal and fit-for-purpose supply of lubricant to the piston ring – cylinder liner
system to lubricate and protect components from corrosion.
• Ensure the achievement and/or the extension of the time between engine overhauls.
• Ensure the reliable operation of piston running components while minimizing expense:
using the least amount of cylinder oil with the lowest BN while maintaining an appropriate
level of protection to the cylinder parts.
PUS BN is an ideal metric for feed rate control but previously it has not been used because of the
difficulty in obtaining a BN result that was both fast and reliable enough. With the recent
developments in shipping like slow steaming and reliance on dual fuel handling as a result of the
expansion of low Sulfur Emission Control Areas, Wärtsilä Services and Winterthur Gas & Diesel,
as well as MAN Turbo and major lubricant suppliers are now stressing the need for more
frequent PUS oil analysis on their 2-stroke engines to counter damaging side-effects like cold
corrosion. So serious are they about this, Wärtsilä is now offering an online calculator called the
Piston Underside Drain Analysis Tool for cylinder lubrication oils with BN ≥ 40 into which you
can plug measurements like PUS and output recommendations for LOFR changes.
Typically, LOFR is based on:
• Engine load
• The current feed rate in g/kWh
• The piston underside drain oil residual BN and iron content
• The HFO sulphur content, i.e. the sulfur content in % by mass of the fuel oil in use
• The BN of the cylinder lubricating oil in use in mg KOH/g
With access to PUS data in real time, LOFR (lube oil feed rate) settings can be precisely adjusted
on an hourly basis rather than daily - or even longer - as is traditionally the case.
Managing your cylinder oil BN with a FluidScan in no way implies that you can abandon regular
physical inspections of the piston parts or forget about iron monitoring - but managing your
BN effectively first is a big step in managing your iron issues.

Note: FluidScan measures and reports the following physical units only. Refer to documentation
from the engine or shipbuilder for their instructions to detect and report anything not in the
following list:
FluidScan Test Result Physical Units

Analytical results are given in physical units as follows:
• TAN (mgKOH/g)
• TBN (mgKOH/g)
• Water (parts per million)
• Glycol (percent by weight)
• Soot (percent by weight)
• Unknown Fluid (percent by weight)
• Antioxidant Depletion (percent remaining)
• Anti-wear Depletion (percent remaining)
Cylinder Oil BN and Fuel Sulfur Content

One of the key metrics is matching the sulfur content of the fuel with the correct BN value of the
cylinder oil. You also need to be aware of the amount and type of cylinder oil already in tanks and
pipes. Note: see Wärtsilä Technical Bulletin RT-161 Issue 2, September 2015 for the equations
to calculate these volumes.
The Bunker Delivery Note (BDN) and bunker analysis can show inaccuracy in
measuring the sulfur content and possibly different HFO composition.
The sulfur content used to set the correct feed rate must be whichever is the
higher value: the BDN or the bunker analysis.
Wärtsilä also recommends you start switching over from low BN to high BN cylinder oil already
inside the ECA zone to avoid operation of high sulfur fuel with low BN oil.
Consequences of a mismatch between fuel sulfur content and cylinder lubricant BN are:
• Low BN used with high sulfur fuel: Corrosion of piston rings and liners
• High BN used with low sulfur fuel: Liner polishing caused by deposits on piston crowns
and high wear on piston rings and liners caused by deposits in the ring grooves
Wärtsilä recommends bunkering the highest possible BN cylinder oil for the fuel sulfur content
according to Figure 2 (below).
For example, if a vessel bunkers fuel oil generally between 1.5% ≤ Sulfur ≤ 3.5%, a BN 100 cyl-
inder oil is indicated.
5
Figure 2: Relationship Between Fuel Sulfur Content and Cylinder Oil BN
1. 0.1% < Sulfur < 0.5% m/m.

2. 0.1% ≤ Sulfur < 0.5%.
3. 0.5% ≤ Sulfur < 1.0% m/m.
4. 1.5% ≤ Sulfur < 2.0% m/m).
5. 2.5% < Sulfur ≤ 3.5% m/m.
However, loading up with an oil with a BN higher than you need or using more than you need is
expensive and wasteful. Note: LOFR can be increased when running in new pistons/liners for
Wärtsilä engines as described in the Wärtsilä Technical Bulletin RT-161.
Figure 3 shows how BN measurements fit into four operational areas:
6
Figure 3: Residual BN Screening Diagram for Cylinder Oils with BN >40
Danger Area: 0 - <10 BN. Damage to pistons and/or liners will occur. Do not operate in this
area.
Alert Area: ~10.0 BN - ~25 BN. Operation in this area is possible with a hightened awareness of
all metrics like iron content and increased physical inspection of piston parts. Damage to pistons
and liners is still possible.
Note: According to Wärtsilä, if the engine is using a fuel with sulfur content < 0.1 % while the cyl-
inder lubricating oil has BN in range 15 to 25, then a residual BN of the PUS drain oil sample
measured at a value above 10 is considered safe.
Safe Area: ~25 BN - ~50 BN. No damage will occur to any piston parts, but operators might
want to consider adjustments to bring the BN closer to the boundary with the Alert Area.
Trouble Area: >~50.0 BN. No damage will occur, but operation in this zone is uneconomical.
Recommendation is to reduce BN (if you are blending on board - see below) or cut the feed rate.
Note: The diamonds in Figure 3 indicate the PUS drain oil sample results used to complete the
Wärtsilä PUS Analysis Tool for LOFR recommendations.
Blending on Board (BoB)

See the Blending On Board brochure from Wärtsilä.
Users can blend different oils to produce a tailored cylinder lubricant. The key interest is that
there will not be a need to adjust the feed rate to various operation conditions. Instead the BN
value of the cylinder oil will be adjusted to keep the feed rate constant.
The residual BN value from the FluidScan will give a clear indication whether the BN of the lub-
rication oil is sufficient. Adjusting the BN value of the lubrication oil by means of the blender to fit
to the residual BN-value will improve the corrosion protection as well as the detergency.
7
PUS Drain Oil Sampling
Note: Wärtsilä recommends oil sampling for external testing should only be done when the
engine has been in a stable operating condition on a known fuel with the same oil feed rate,
engine load and other variables for at least 12 hours.
With FluidScan, BN testing can be taken during transient engine conditions, especially for
cutovers from low BN and high BN oils. Routine samples should be taken under similar con-
ditions.
Flushing
Flush the system to prevent non-representative drain oil from entering the sample bottle. Flu-
idScan requires a sample of only 2 drops.
1. Close the oil drain valve to allow oil to accumulate for less than 5 minutes, depending on
engine load, feed rate etc.
2. After enough oil has accumulated, open the sampling drain cock slowly, then carefully
blow any old oil into a bucket. When the valve and pipe are thoroughly flushed, close the
sample cock.
3. Open the drain valve to allow the remaining oil to be blown down the drain pipe. This will
only take a few seconds.
4. Close the valve.
Sampling
You need to complete this procedure for every cylinder:
1. Wait for 5 minutes to accumulate enough oil to fill the sample bottles. These are usually
100 ml bottles, but can vary. FluidScan requires only 2 drops per sample. Use the
disposable pipette (part number PV-1012) to transfer the sample from the bottle to a
FluidScan.
2. Open the sample cock slowly, and put just enough oil in the sample bottle for a FluidScan
sample (about 5 ml). It is not necessary to fill the bottle for a FluidScan analysis. If you are
sending the sample out for further analysis, continue to fill to top. Do take note of the
cylinder number for input into the FluidScan device.
8
3. Close the sample cock.
4. Open the oil drain valve to the normal position so the surplus oil can drain away.
5. Perform the same procedure on each cylinder.
It is good practice to also submit a sample of fresh cylinder oil taken at the engine inlet pipe after
the filter for analysis. There are sometimes contaminants, because wrong oil may have been
delivered or placed in the wrong tank. This ensures that cylinder oil changeover has been
correctly performed and the appropriate oil is in the system.
These samples can now be tested with the FluidScan.
FluidScan Application Libraries

The FluidScan oils and lubricants database is organized into functional categories like high-
pressure gear oil, engine oil, and transmission fluid. Then these categories are grouped into one
or more libraries and licensed to customers based on their testing requirements.
While some marine engineers only want quick access to BN test results, some also want access
to more FluidScan test and display options for other marine lubrication tasks, such as gear boxes,
compressors, hydraulic systems, turbines and transmissions.
The Engine Library

The Engine Library was created specifically for Marine engineers interested only in oils from the
following categories:
• Engine
• Engine - Heavy Duty
• Engine - HFO
• Engine - Natural Gas.
• Engine - Marine
The following table lists all libraries and their respective part numbers:

Due to the large number of lubricant types and individual lubricants throughout the world, the
device allows the end user to create a custom User fluid. Customers using a fluid that does not
9
already have an algorithm stored in memory are invited to contact Spectro Scientific about the
process of creating an additional algorithm.
Software Licenses
The Q1200-Series FluidScan has three software licenses available with or without libraries
depending on the customer’s application.
• Q1210 - Basic application. A universal calibration to test for Base Number (BN) in marine
cylinder lubricants, but no libraries. Suitable for 2 stroke engine BN monitoring only.
• Q1220 - includes a complete engine library for trend monitoring of 2 stroke and 4 stroke
engines, fueled by HFO, diesel, gasoline, and natural gas. Ideal for marine applications
where both main engine and ship service diesel generators need to be monitored.

3 BN Testing for Marine Applications
This section describes how marine engine builders and other marine operators can analyze used
oil samples for Base Number (BN) value only.
A used oil sample is taken as it exits the cylinder and then analyzed. The test result is measured
against the alarm values, and results are displayed as follows:
• >25 mgKOH/g - Green - Safe area. Corrected piston underside residual BN to avoid
piston ring and liner corrosion.
• ~10 - 25 mgKOH/g - Yellow - Alert area. Corrected limit for piston underside residual BN
to avoid excessive corrosion.
• <10 mgKOH/g - Red - Danger area. Corrected limit for piston underside residual BN and
is likely to lead to excessive corrosion and rapid piston ring and liner wear if not corrected.
Results can be graphed to show the infrared absorbence spectrum; they can be saved and
recalled later, and they can be exported to Fluid Manager for further analysis.
Selecting a Sample Label

1. Press the power button on top of the FluidScan to boot the device to the BN Menu:
2. BN Test is selected by default. Press the Select button to open the Select Label screen:
The sections below explain how you can use the default arrangement of 8 cylinder-labels plus the
Inlet label, or how you can add/delete cylinders or how to create your own labels.
21
Inlet Label
The Inlet label is used to measure the BN of a sample of fresh oil

before it enters the cylinder. This is optional, but recommended by
some builders - especially when oils are being blended on board.
To do this, measure the Inlet label the same as any of the other labels
described below, but use clean oil instead of used oil. The result will be
displayed on a white background beneath a cylinder BN result similar
to this example:
Using a Default Label for up to 8 Cylinders

The Select Label screen has default labels for the Inlet, plus 8 cylinders. If you have up to 8
cylinders, you can use these defaults with no changes.
More/Fewer Than 8 Cylinders

You can automatically create a label for the number of cylinders from 1 up to a maximum of 16 as
follows:
1. From the BN Menu, scroll to Extended FluidScan Functions and press Select.
2. From the Main Menu, scroll to Utilities and press Select.
3. From the Utilities Menu scroll to User Settings and press Select.
4. From the User Settings Menu, scroll to Set Number of Cylinders and press Select:
22
5. Use Up and Down on the directional pad to set the correct number from 1 to 16 and press
Select.
For this example, change to 12 cylinders and press Select.
6. Press the Main Menu button to return to the Main Menu.
7. Press the BN Menu button to exit to the BN Menu.
8. Highlight BN Test and press Select, then scroll down and see the new labels you created
for Cylinder 9 through 12:
Creating a Custom Label

Suppose you have two 8-cylinder engines, one Port-side, one Starboard. You can use the
Sample Label function at the bottom of the Select Label screen to create a custom label for each
cylinder in each engine:
1. Press Tab to move the cursor to the Sample Label box.

2. Press Edit to open the keyboard. Hover over each letter and press the Select button until
you have created a custom label. For this example, create the label Port Eng Cyl 1.
3. Press Done to add the label:
In a real situation, you would continue creating labels for each cylinder in the Port-side engine,
then create another 8 for the Starboard-side engine.
23
Taking the Background Measurement
The Background measurement is an analysis performed when the test cell is empty.
After a fluid sample is analyzed, the Background measurement results are subtracted from the
sample test results; this results in improved accuracy.
If you are in a laboratory setting and you can take sample measurements approximately every 15
- 25 minutes, the initial Background measurement in the morning will apply all day.
However, this example assumes that the Background has timed out and a new one is needed.
1. Scroll down to highlight the label for whichever cylinder you want to test and press Next.
The following message will appear:
2. Press OK to start an automatic cell cleanliness test.
Make sure the test cell is back in the slot inside the FluidScan head before you
continue with either a Background measurement, a cleanliness test, or with a
sample measurement. Otherwise you will see a Cell is Out warning:
If you see this warning, you must press Cancel, return the test cell to the
measurement slot, and restart your test from the beginning.
If the cell is already clean enough for a sample test, you will see this message:
In this case, you can skip down to Testing a Fluid Sample on page 27.
24
Otherwise, the cell is still dirty from a previous test and you will see this message:
Cleaning the Test Cell

Follow these steps to clean the test cell:
1. Pull the test cell straight up from its measuring position inside the housing:
2. Lay the cell down flat so it is held by the magnets.

3. Open the cell by lifting the top half away from the bottom half. The bottom half will be held
by the magnets:
4. Clean the cell with a non-abrasive lint-free pad (supplied).
Only in cases of very severe contamination should you use a solvent like IPA.
Leave the cell open for 2-3 minutes after using a solvent otherwise the vapors
will contaminate the sample.
5. Close the cell, lift it vertically and lower it back into the housing:
25
6. You should see the "Cell is Clean" message; if you still see a "Cell is Still Dirty" message,
repeat the cleaning until it is clean enough to continue:
Make sure you lower the test cell back inside the FluidScan head
before you continue with either a Background or a sample
measurement, otherwise you will see the Cell is Out warning.
If you see this warning, press Cancel, return the test cell to the slot,
and restart your test from the beginning.
7. Press OK. The Background measurement starts.

8. When the Background measurement is done, press OK again to confirm you want to use
this measurement.
DO NOT press OK again until AFTER you have loaded a sample into
the test cell as described in the next section.
26
Testing a Fluid Sample
1. Raise the cell and open it by flipping the top half away from the bottom half so the bottom
half is held by the magnets.
2. Using the disposable 60 µl pipette (supplied), place 2-3 drops of oil on the bottom half of
the cell - just enough to only cover the glass window:
3. Do not raise the bottom half to meet the top half to avoid the possibility of the oil running
off the glass. Instead, close the cell by slowly lowering the top half until it rests on the
shock absorber. Allow 2-3 seconds for the magnets to form a tight seal.
4. Lower the cell back into the slot and press OK.
5. The test results are displayed similar to these examples:
Safe Area Example >25 mgKOH/g with Inlet BN:
Danger Area Example <10 mgKOH/g:

For samples in the Danger area, there may be other notifications present. For example, a
warning similar to this could indicate there is too much soot in the sample for a reliable analysis:
27
At the bottom of the screen are three options:
Optional - press Discard to discard the results.

Optional - Press Save to store them for future review and/or graphing.
Optional - Press >> to graph the results as shown below:
Viewing Results as an IR Spectrum Graph

From the bottom of any results output screen - whether "live" immediately after obtaining a test
result, or from a saved result that you have reopened - press >> to view a graph of the infrared
spectrum in Absorbence vs Wavenumbers (WN) similar to the example below:
Spectra displays are primarily used by expert users to "eyeball" different fluid
signatures and confirm fluid identities look similar or not.
FluidScan spectrum plots are low resolution and therefore not intended for
further analysis.
Optional - The default spread is approximately 750 - 4000 cm-1, but you can zoom in on any WN
range you choose. The regions with peaks of interest are 950 - 1840 cm-1 and 2590 - 3810 cm-1.
1. Press Tab to enter the WN From field. Use the directional pad to select the digits. For this
example, adjust it to be 950.
2. Press Tab to enter the WN To field. Use the directional pad to select the digits. For this
example, adjust it to be 1700.
3. Press Refresh. This will open a new graph scaled to the adjusted WN settings similar to
this example. (note - this example is not derived from the graph shown above):
28
4. Press Back to return to the results display.

4 Managing an Asset Structure
You can manage an asset structure from the FluidScan display, or you can use Fluid Manager;
see "Fluid Manager User's Guide" for more information.

Overview: Descriptor Levels, Asset Descriptors, and Assets

"Measure Asset" in the Main Menu does not literally mean “measure an asset.” It means to
measure a lubricant or other fluid taken from a physical asset - an engine for example. In
particular, you are looking to the fluid chemistry for clues to the operating condition of the asset
from which the fluid was taken.
If you want to measure a fluid sample as a snap-shot of the fluid condition, but
you are not necessarily interested in the actual operating condition of the
machinery from which it came, see BN Analysis Quick Start Guide on page 1.
If you want to measure assets and set up an asset database, it is critically

important that you plan your structure carefully and you define the structure on
a clean database.
Once the structure is defined, you may not delete or add fields once data is
present.
This is a layered structure with Level 1 at the top and up to nine more levels for a total of 10.
Three or four is usual for most users.
30
Use the information in this table to complete these examples for a fictional mining company:
Level Descriptor Level Asset Descriptor Asset
Level 1 Company Copco Mining

Level 2 Location Wellington Mine
Level 3 Equipment Excavator
Level 4 Model Daihatsu K-8 VIN 123A12345
Cummins D-18 s/n
Level 5 Sub Assembly Engine
098765A
Level 6 Sample Port Drain
Other than Level 1 - a monolithic company - each asset descriptor can support many entries. For
example, there could be more than one location at Level 2, and there are many different
equipment types at Level 3: bulldozers, cranes, trucks, excavators, pumps, centrifuges etc.
Level 4 is where you identify excavator model, bulldozer model, etc. You need to come up with an
identifier for each piece of equipment you have in each model. For example, an identifier for a
vehicle could be a VIN number.
Level 5 is where bulldozers and excavators break down into smaller sub-assemblies: engines,
gearboxes, transfer cases etc, These are the all-important hard assets from where the used fluid
samples are taken. For this example, the identifier for an engine will be a serial number.
Level 6 is a sample port; a drain plug, for example.
Creating Descriptor Levels

Analyzing a Fluid Sample from a Physical Asset

Before you can run a successful analysis, you need to clean the test cell thoroughly.
Cleaning the Test Cell

Part of the analysis includes a background measurement: an infrared scan of an empty cell. If the
cell is not thoroughly clean, you will receive an error message telling you to clean the cell again
before the background measurement can begin.
Follow these steps to clean the test cell:
1. Grasp the test cell with two fingers and pull straight up from its measuring position inside
the housing.
36
2. Lay the cell down until it is held by the magnets:
3. Open the cell by flipping the top half away from the bottom half. The bottom half will be
locked in the loading position by the magnets:
4. Use a clean non-abrasive pad to thoroughly clean the test cell. Only in cases of the most
severe contamination use a solvent like IPA or Heptane to clean the cell. Leave the cell
open for 30 minutes after using a solvent otherwise vapors might contaminate the
sample.
5. Close the cell, lift it vertically and lower it back into the housing.
Measuring the Sample

1. From the Main Menu, select Measure Asset.
2. A cleanliness test starts. The cell should be clean and the Cell is Clean dialog box should
display; otherwise, clean the cell repeatedly until you see the Cell is Clean message.
3. Click OK to run a background measurement.
4. Run a Background Measurement, and the Select Asset screen will open:
Optional: Press Tab to place your cursor in the Search field and spell out the asset; you will be
taken directly to the Asset List. It might also be found in the Recent field in which case you can tab
to the asset and press Select.
37
For this example, assume you need to access the asset through the Select Company option:
5. Scroll to Copco Mining and pressSelect.

You created only one asset for this exercise; ordinarily you would press the List button
for a list of all assets:
6. Highlight the asset and press Next. This screen will offer some options:
Optional: Press Edit and create a Sample ID.

Optional: Tab to the Sample Date field and use the directional pad to change the date.
Optional: Tab to the Operating Hours field and use the directional pad to enter the number of
hours the lubricant has been in use.
7. Press Next.
Follow these steps to load the sample into the test cell:
1. Open the cell by flipping the top half away from the bottom half as you did to clean the cell.
2. Using the disposable pipette (supplied), place 1-2 drops of fluid on the bottom half of the
cell - enough to just cover the window:
38
3. Do not raise the bottom half to meet the top half. Close the cell by slowly lowering the top
half until it rests on the shock absorber. Allow ~3 seconds for the magnets to properly
close the cell and form a seal.
4. Lift the cell vertically and lower it into the housing.
5. Press OK to start the test.
When the measurement is complete, the FluidScan starts to analyze the results.
6. Results display similar to this example where there is a mixture of good results (green),
marginal results (yellow) and alarm results (red):
Optional: Press Discard.

Optional: Press Save if you want to save the results. You can upload them for further analysis in
Fluid Manager. You can also export them as .csv files.
Optional: Detail Button. You can also compare up to three previously saved results using the
Detail button. Scroll to the parameter you want to compare and the parameter will pop out with
multiple results.
Press Summary to return to the normal view.
Optional: Press << to add notes or view a graph of your results similar to the example below,
where the graph shows the infrared spectrum in absorbance vs wavenumbers cm^-1.
39
Low and high limits are 750 and 4000 cm^-1 by default. If necessary you can adjust the WN
(Wavenumber) parameters and recalculate the graph to zoom in on a particular peak by
widening the display. Peaks of interest are at about 950 -1840 and 2590 - 3810 cm^-1.
To adjust the WN, press Tab to move the cursor between fields and use the directional button to
adjust the digit values.

5 Validating Fluids
For this example, a user has a quantity of what he believes to be Mobil 5W-40 engine oil, but has
no way to know for sure. The validate fluid feature allows users to test a fluid to establish a match
score:
• 7.0 -10.0 means the fluid is highly likely to be what it is believed to be.
• 5.0 - 6.9 means the fluid is likely to be what it is believed to be.
• 4.9 and below means the fluid is not what it is believed to be
FluidScan forms matches based on chemistry and class of product (engine or gear oil for
example) and cannot differentiate brand from brand, but the information gleaned from the
sample test can help the user decide how to proceed.
Validating a Fluid
1. Refer to the Fluid Database on page 78 and scroll down to the entry for Mobil 5W-40. The
database confirms that this fluid belongs in the Engine category.
You must always check the database because there are fluids that are
marketed with “engine oil” on the container when the actual chemical properties
identify it as a light gear oil or some other fluid type.
2. From the Main Menu, scroll down to Identify Fluid and press Select:
For the purposes of this example, assume you need to do a Background Measurement
and test a fluid sample as described in the BN Analysis Quick Start Guide on page 1.
3. When the sample measurement is complete, the Select Fluid to Validate screen will
display:
4. Scroll down to the Engine Category and press Next.

5. Scroll down to Mobil Super 2000 5W-40 and press Next.
6. The software now determines the fluid match and presents the result in the Validate Fluid
screen similar to this example:
44
The match is based on a “score” but it is not necessary to get a “perfect 10” to be a strong match.
A different sample from the same tank might come up with a different score, or it might match
5W-40 oils from Shell and Texaco with a higher score than Mobil. Oil formulations change
regularly, even though it is marketed as the same brand. The match may differ due to formulation
change, or if the new oil is adulterated or mixed with another fluid, or contaminated in some other
way.
Highly Probable Match

A score of 7 or higher is considered a “highly probable” chemical match with the fluid you thought
it to be - in this case Mobil 5W-40. For quality control purposes, if you consider a 9.0 score
acceptable, you have validated the fluid and you need do no more.
Probable Match
A score between 5.0 and 6.9 is considered a “probable” match, and it is up to the user to decide if
a result within this band is suitable.
You could also opt to use the Subtraction Method for results in this range - see
Measuring a Fluid with the Subtraction Method on page 61
For results in this band, the user needs to consider these two options:
1. Will the FluidScan find a match with another fluid in the database. The database
is being updated all the time, but not all fluids are in there yet. If there is no match for any
other fluid based on chemistry, there is the option to add it as a custom User Fluid (see
Customizing User Fluids on page 48).
Users may find it preferable to create a new User Fluid because it allows them to
customize some parameters and alarms. They are also encouraged to send
clean samples to us for a full laboratory analysis as a User Fluid.
A customized User fluid would be expected to return consistently high match
scores.
45
2. Can you use the match as the base chemistry for a new User Fluid. This depends
on the test parameters for the matched fluid.
3. For example, suppose there is a match in the database, but it is not in the Engine
category - it is in the Engine - Heavy Duty category. In this case, the match is acceptable
because all engine oils include the TBN parameter regardless of category. If you are
measuring for TAN, then you can’t use any category of engine oil, because none of them
have the TAN parameter.
Refer to Fluid Categories, Tests, and Libraries on page 123 if you need to know
which tests are appropriate in each fluid category.
No Match
A score of 4.9 and below is not considered a match at all. In this case, you have the option to see
if the FluidScan database has any kind of match based on chemistry.
1. Press the Match button in the Validate Fluid screen. FluidScan will search the database
for the closest match to any other fluid.
Note: this might take a while to complete.
2. In this example, FluidScan comes up with a match for the test fluid, but it finds the sample
is not engine oil - the chemistry places it in the Gear - Splash category:
3. Press OK to view details of the highest scoring fluid(s):
You have been able to establish that what you thought was Mobil engine oil turns out to be a gear
oil with a chemistry that closely matches product from several companies. If this is all you wanted
to know for a quality control test, press Cancel to return to the Main Menu.
Otherwise, you may want to know if you can use this fluid as the basic chemistry for a customized
User Fluid.

1. Click the top-scoring fluid (or click any brand if there are multiple top-scoring fluids) and
press Select for full parameter details:
You can't use this fluid as the chemical basis for a User Fluid based on an
engine oil, because it is from the Gear-Splash category and no gear oils
measure BN.
2. Either press OK to return to the Main Menu, or press the User Fluid button to create a
new User Fluid and refer to Customizing User Fluids on page 48.

Overview
A "User fluid" is one where a user can take a fluid in the FluidScan database and tweak the
default alarms and properties and/or apply calibration offsets so the fluid becomes a more
accurate fit for the user's particular application.
For example, the default water alarm limit for Synlube WS 460 gear oil might be fine when used
in a locomotive, but you might want to raise the water alarm limit for use in a marine environment
where you might reasonably expect a higher level of water contamination before protection
breaks down.
The FluidScan fluid database is divided into categories. The device has the ability to match your
lubricant sample with the chemistry of fluids in the database and identify it by category.
For example, there are fluids in the database that clearly market themselves as "engine oil" when
proper chemical analysis clearly shows they are formulated as light gear oils with parameters
unsuited to the user's projected application for an engine oil - although it might work perfectly well
as an "engine oil" in a different application: a 3-hp trolling motor, for example.
Users are also encouraged to send us a clean sample of any lubricant they are contemplating
using and we will analyze it in our laboratory and apply any calibration and offset parameters.
Creating a Customized User Fluid

For this example, create a User fluid based on a heavy duty engine oil.
1. From the Main Menu, scroll down to Utilities and press Select.
2. From the Utilities Menu, scroll down to Manage Fluids and press Select.
3. Scroll down to New User Fluid and press Select.
4. Scroll down to the correct category. For this example, use Engine - Heavy Duty and
press Select to start the background measurement.
5. Place a sample in the test cell and press OK to start the measurement.
6. After the measurement, FluidScan tries to find a match:
48
In this example, it comes up with a “highly probable” match for Terpel Marino TBN 70:
A check of the Fluid Database on page 78 confirms that this is a heavy duty engine oil, so it will be
OK to use this as the basic formula for the User fluid.
The FluidScan matches on chemistry only, so you should always select the fluid
that has the best score as long as it has the appropriate parameters. If there are
multiple top scores with the same properties, you can pick any of them, because
the brand makes no difference.
You also need to be aware of the application. An oil in the Engine - Natural Gas
category has the TBN parameter, but it would not be formulated for protection
against soot buildup.
This would make it unsuitable as the User fluid base chemistry for an engine oil
used in a heavy diesel engine running 24/7
7. Press Terpel Marino to highlight it and press Select to open the Matching Substance
screen.
8. Press Select to open the Specify New Fluid Name screen:
Substance ID field: This is generated automatically. If you need this Substance ID later - to
search for a fluid in the table Fluid Database Sorted by Substance ID on page 100 you can
retrieve it as part of Editing the User Fluid Name on page 52.
9. Press the Edit button to open the software keyboard and create a fluid name. For this
example, call the fluid Copco Mining #1.
10. Press Next to open the Select Properties screen:
We recommend you leave all properties in this screen checked as you may not
want to edit them now, but you might well want to later.
49
11. Press Next to open the Alarm Limits - Specify screen.
This shows the default alarm settings for all properties similar to this screen. For this
example, edit the TBN property, as follows:
1. Scroll down to TBN:
2. Press Edit to open the Edit Alarm Limits screen:
50
The alarm limits should be edited according to your oil analysis program.
Limits may be determined by consulting the equipment manufacturer

service manual, or in consultation with the oil supplier.
For this example, change the TBN low limit alarm from 4.00 to 4.10, as follows:
1. Press Tab to highlight the Check Lower Limits field and press Check to put a check mark
in the box. Then tab to the Lower Limit field and use the directional pad to change the
number to 4.1:
2. Press Done and confirm the new alarm is in effect, like this:
3. Press Next to open the Edit Properties screen where you will find the TBN reference
value is 9.0 mgKOH/g:
It is strongly recommended you have a certificate of analysis for the new oil in
question with the test value in question and consistent with the ASTM test
method used by Spectro to develop the FluidScan algorithm. Call your tech-
nical sales representative with any questions.
Do not rely entirely on oil supplier product data sheets as official references
for modifying this value. These are usually nominal specfications. For this
example, use 9.2 mg KOH/g.
4. Select TBN and press Next to open the Edit Property screen.
5. Press Tab to the FluidScan Measurement Value field and use the directional pad to
change the value to 9.2, like this:
51
6. Press Done.
7. The Spectra Match screen opens with the new fluid spectrum in red. The graph shows
the infrared spectrum in units of abs/0.1 mm vs wavenumber (cm^-1).
The new red line has slightly lower intensity than the black line of the reference fluid so it will have
the offset adjusted automatically.
Optional: You can zoom into specific regions of interest by using the Tab button and the up and
down buttons on the directional pad to change the Wavenumber scale and zoom in.
8. Press Save to commit the new User Fluid to the database.

sales representative with any questions.
Do not rely entirely on oil supplier product data sheets as official references for
modifying this value. These are usually nominal specfications. For this example,
use a value of 1200.
10. Refer to the laboratory data or the data sheet supplied with the fluid that you used as the
base formula for the User Fluid. For this example, that would be Terpel Marino 70. Check
for the water specification. For this example, assume that this value is 1200.
11. Press Tab to place the cursor in the FluidScan Measurement Value field, then use the
directional pad Left and Right to select the necessary digit, and use Up and Down to
change the values to 1200.
12. Press Done to return to the Edit Properties screen and confirm the new value is in effect.
Slope and Offset Settings

Slope and offset settings are available for advanced users to fine tune the User Fluid spectrum.
Access can be restricted by password; see Creating Passwords on page 20.
Spectro Scientific calibrates properties with our in-house methods. However, results do vary
from laboratory to laboratory and sometimes customers choose to reference a different analysis
method entirely. For this reason, it may be necessary for customers to further post-process their
results for better correlation to reference data.
55
In the following example, a slope and offset is applied to the FluidScan TBN results to correlate
better to an independent laboratory's titration values.
For this example, use the Copco Wellington #1 User Fluid from the Engine - Heavy Duty
category.
You also need a comparative sample of the deteriorating fluid over time measured by both the
FluidScan and lab titration. A minimum of five samples is required.
For this example, use the comparative test results from this table:
1. Titrate a new, unused sample in the laboratory to determine the TBN. For this example,
make this value 7.6 as indicated by the table.
2. Run a sample of the same fluid through a FluidScan and make this value 7.7.
6. Scroll down to Engine- Heavy Duty and press Select.
7. Scroll down to Copco Wellington #1 and press Next to open the Edit Fluid Name screen.
8. Press Next to open the Select Properties screen.
9. Press Next to open the Alarm Limits > Specify screen.
10. Press Next to open the Edit Properties screen.
56
11. Scroll down to TBN and press Edit to open the Edit Property screen for TBN:
12. Tab to the Measurement Value screen and use the directional pad to enter the titrated
value (7.6) and press Done.
The TBN values from the tests fit to a linear regression in the form y=mx+b where m is the Slope
and b is the Offset as seen in this scatter plot:
57
13. Tab to the Advanced Mode checkbox and press Toggle to activate the Slope and Slope
Offset fields:
14. Using the Tab button and the directional pad, enter 0.8470 in the Slope field and 1.1589
in the Slope Offset field.
15. Press Done to commit the changes to the database.
The values obtained by the Fluidscan using a slope and offset now correlate to the titrated TBN
values.

7 Testing with the Subtraction Method
Overview on page 60
Updating a Fluid Spectrum on page 60
Measuring a Fluid with the Subtraction Method on page 61
Overview
Oil condition analysis by IR spectroscopy has two methods for trending, both of which are
supported by Spectro.
The first is direct trend analysis, where values are recorded directly from absorption spectra and
reported in units of absorbence per 0.1 mm pathlength - the default method for FluidScan and the
most widely used by JOAP, Caterpillar and oil analysis laboratories worldwide.
The second is differential trend analysis, or the subtraction method. In this approach, values are
recorded from the differential spectra (i.e. the spectrum obtained by subtraction of the absorption
spectrum of the reference oil from that of the in-service oil) and reported in units of 100*-
absorbance per 0.1 mm pathlength (or the equivalent absorbence units per centimeter). This
approach is sometime used by oil companies who have access to new oil references.
The spectrum from a clean, uncontaminated sample of the in-service fluid is then subtracted from
that of the used fluid and the resulting graph shows the difference(s) between the two spectra.
Updating a Fluid Spectrum

FluidScan is delivered with a library(ies) of fluid spectra; however, you have the option to update
them with the results of your own tests on a clean sample of whatever is the in-service fluid. For
example, you might want to do this if you know your supplier consistently delivers a product that is
different from the "normal" chemistry - one containing severe weather additives, for instance.
There is no guarantee that the clean sample used to derive the new spectrum is
not contaminated. For example, if the "clean" fluid contains 300 ppm of water,
then the zero point for water for all subsequent tests will be 300 ppm - not zero.
Follow these steps to update the spectrum for an existing fluid; for example, Mobil 1:
1. From the Utilities Menu, select Manage Fluids, and then press Select.
2. From the Manage Fluids Menu, select Update Fluid Spectra and press Select.
3. The cell cleanliness test initiates and if it does not report a “Clean” result, you must clean
the cell repeatedly until you get a "Cell is Clean" message. Then press OK.
4. The background measurement begins and an elapsed time indicator displays.
5. Press OK when the background measurement is done.
60
6. Scroll down to the appropriate fluid category. For this example, scroll to Engine and press
Select.
7. Scroll down to the fluid you want to update. For this example, scroll to Mobil 1 and press
Select.
8. Load your sample into the test cell.
9. Press OK to start the analysis. A progress bar shows the measurement status.
After the measurement, the new spectrum will display as in this example:
10. Press Save to overwrite the old spectrum; otherwise click Cancel.
Measuring a Fluid with the Subtraction Method

1. From the Main Menu, scroll down to Measure Fluid and press Select.
2. If a new background measurement is indicated, see Perform a Background
Measurement on page 1.
3. Select a category from the Category List - for this example choose Engine.
4. Press Next.
5. Select a fluid from the Select Fluid list. For this example, select Pennzoil 10W-30.
Optional: Press Tab to place the cursor in the Sample ID field and use the directional pad to
create a Sample ID. As this is a one-time measurement, this is not really necessary unless you
think you might want to save the result for further analysis.
Optional: Press Tab to place the cursor in the Sample Date field and use the directional pad to
change the entry.
6. Press Tab to activate the Calculate Using the Subtraction Method field
7. Press Check to place a check in the Calculate Using the Subtraction Method box.
8. Press Next.
9. Place a sample in the cell and press OK.
10. Optional: enter viscosity result.
61
11. Optional: enter fuel dilution result.
12. A Results screen similar to this example opens - note that it confirms that Spectral
Subtraction was used in the analysis:
Optional: Press Discard.

Optional: Press Save. You can recall and export results of tests you save by accessing the
Manage Measurements menu.
Optional: Press << to see a graph of the infrared absorbance spectra for the reference fluid
compared with that of the used sample where the black line is the reference fluid.
The graph shows the infrared spectrum in units of abs/0.1 mm vs wavenumber (cm^-1).

8 Comprehensive Water Solution
The lubrication systems in industrial machinery typically run above the saturation point of water,
meaning free water can accumulate in the oil reservoir. This licensed option extends the range of
measuring water contamination beyond the traditional dissolved water measurement for
industrial machinery lubricants. It provides a quantitative measurement of free water present in
key classes of lubricants, including turbine, gearbox, pump, hydraulic and compressor oils.
The standard FluidScan range provides a dissolved water measurement from 50 - 100 ppm up to
the point of saturation.
The extended range takes the dissolved measurement and adds a free water measurement from
1,000 ppm to 65,000 ppm (equal to >0.1% - 6.5% of the sample volume).
This is an improvement over the regular test results for FluidScan because without the extended
option, the device just reports the dissolved water peak.
For example, with some very hydrophobic fluids, the dissolved water might be zero ppm, but
there could be significant amounts of free water in the reservoir. This might indicate a problem
liked a cracked head gasket exists.
Method
Follow these steps to prepare a homogenized sample.
64
Spectro Scientific has a range of suitable portable and tabletop homogenizers
that are supplied with the appropriate licenseSpecifications on page 128 These
approved homogenizers mix the sample far more effectively than shaking
alone, although the samples outwardly look the same.
Please refer to the homogenizer user manual for general operating instructions
and safety information.
Through the testing process, we found that 5 oil samples can be homogenized at a time and then
analyzed consecutively with a FluidScan.
1. Collect an oil sample. If a standard 100 ml (4 fl oz) sample bottle is used, it should be filled
a little over half way. A smaller 20 ml (0.67 fl oz) bottle can be used to minimize sample
volume. Any bottle size is acceptable with the following guidelines:
• Maximum volume = 100 ml (4 fl oz).
• Minimum volume = enough to cover the homogenizer tip but ideally the probe
should be immersed to a depth of 1/3 to 1/2 the fluid height for best results.
2. Insert the generator probe into the homogenizer motor and remove the safety cap.
3. Insert the tip of the probe into the sample solution to a depth of 1/3 to 1/2 of the liquid
height.
4. Homogenize the sample on high power for ~60 seconds. After proper homogenization,
the sample should look cloudy similar to this example:
5. Turn the homogenizer off, remove the tip, and blot it dry with a lint-free pad (supplied).
If you are testing samples of a similar oil type, wiping the tip and blotting it
dry with a lint-free pad is sufficient cleaning.
If you are testing different oil types, or if you are storing the homogenizer
(even if only overnight) rinse the tip with alcohol before blotting it dry.
6. Let the sample sit for ~1 minute before analysis. (See BN Analysis Quick Start Guide on
page 1 or Analyzing a Fluid Sample from a Physical Asset on page 36 for the analysis
method.)
Do not let homogenized samples sit for more than 30 minutes before
analysis or you will need to homogenize them again.

Verifying the Device Using IR Check Fluid

If you get results that appear to be abnormally high or low, there are two tests you can run at any
time to confirm that the device is working within the factory calibration and returning reliable
results: the IR Check Fluid test, and the Calibration test.
Important: it is possible to pass one test and fail the other.
IR Check Fluid Test
You should also plan on performing a regular IR Check Fluid test based on how
heavily you use the device, but at least monthly is highly recommended.
A 5 ml vial of IR Check Fluid (part number FL 310) is included with your FluidScan. It gives you a
fluid with known parameters that you can analyze to confirm that the device is measuring fluids
correctly. It is a "coarse" hardware check that reports a result for Area I and Area II. If there is a
source or detector problem, or pathlength drift, or some other optics misalignment you may
notice a drift or significant change of these values.
If this test passes, then any used fluid sample results that at first glance seem exceptionally
abnormal are most likely correct - although you can still run a calibration check for further
verification. See Calibration Check on page 71 on page 1.
1. From the Main Menu select Measure Fluid. If the previous Background measurement has
expired, you will be prompted to run a new one. Otherwise, the software will begin the cell
cleanliness check.
2. If you see the Cell is Clean message, press OK. Otherwise you need to continue cleaning
the test cell until you see confirmation that the cell is clean enough to carry out tests.
69
3. Press OKto open a list of fluid categories. Scroll down to highlight Check:
4. Press Next to open the Select Fluid screen. Check Fluid is the only option; press Next.
5. Optional: Press Edit to display the keyboard and create a Sample ID. The Date defaults
to today, but you can use the directional pad to change the date.
6. Using a pipette, add a few drops of IR Check Fluid to just cover the test cell window and
return the test cell to the measuring position in the FluidScan housing.
7. Press OK. An elapsed time indicator shows the measurement progress.
8. Press Next. If it passes the test, the result is displayed in 2 green bars:
If it fails, it will display in 2 red bars (or 1 red, 1 green) similar to this example:
9. If the test fails, run the test again. If it still fails, refer to Backing up the FluidScan
Database on page 73 and contact Technical Support for assistance.
70
Calibration Check
A 5 ml vial of IR Check Fluid (part number FL 310) is included with your FluidScan. You can run
this verification check any time you believe that your used fluid test results are inaccurate. It can
also be run in conjunction with the IR Check Fluid Test (see above).
Important: it is possible to pass one test and fail the other.
The calibration check provides a QC check in real measurable parameters: Oxidation and Water.
1. From the Main Menu select Measure Fluid. If the Background measurement has expired,
you will be prompted to run a new one. Otherwise, the cleanliness check starts.
2. If you see the Cell is Clean message, press OK. Otherwise you need to continue cleaning
the test cell until you see confirmation that the cell is clean enough to carry out tests.
3. Press OK. This opens a list of fluid categories. Scroll down to Calibration:
4. Press Next. Partistan will be the only fluid listed and highlighted by default; press Next.
5. Optional: Press Edit to create a Sample ID. The Date field defaults to today, or you can
use the pad to change digits to create a new date.
6. Using a pipette, add 2-3 drops of IR Check Fluid to cover the test cell window and return
the test cell to the measuring position in the FluidScan housing.
7. Press OK. An elapsed time indicator shows the measurement progress.
8. Press Next. Press Next. If it passes the test, the result is displayed in 2 green bars similar
to this example:
If it fails, it will display in either 2 red bars (or 1 red,1 green) similar to this example:
71
If the test fails, run the test again. If it still fails, refer to Backing up the FluidScan Database on
page 73 and contact Technical Support for assistance.
Adjusting BN Test Calibration to a Reference Sample (BN Offset)

This procedure is used when you run a test on on a sample of Used Oil Base Number Check
Fluid (supplied; part number 600-00109) and get an unexpected result. For this example,
suppose the correct BN value should be 27.9 mgKOH/g.
Important: before you begin testing, you must make sure the BN Obtained value and the
BN Expected value are both at the factory setting of 0 (zero) by following these steps:
1. From the BN Menu, click Extended FluidScan Functions.
2. Click Utilities.
3. Scroll down to BN Offset and press Select. The BN Offset screen should look like this:
4. Click the Main Menu button.

5. Test a sample of Used Oil Base Number Check Fluid. For this example, assume that the
result is 17.4 mgKOH/g:
72
6. Open up the BN Offset menu again and insert the Obtained Value (17.4) and the
Expected Value (27.9):
7. Click the Update button.

8. Measure the same sample again. Because of the offset, the FluidScan is now re-
calibrated so the measurement should be much closer to the 27.9 expected target:
Backing up the FluidScan Database

You should periodically back up the FluidScan database.
We strongly recommend that you use Fluid Manager to do this. Fluid Manager is provided at no
charge on the documentation CD. Refer to the "Fluid Manager User's Guide" for information

Battery Appears Defective

If the battery fails to charge, fails to hold a charge, or fails in any other way it will need to be
replaced. Contact Spectro Scientific to obtain a replacement.
Follow these steps to replace the battery:
1. Flip the device over; take care that the test cell stays in the housing.
2. Remove the three screws securing the battery compartment cover.
3. Lift the cover to expose the battery.
4. Lift the battery out of the compartment and pull the plug straight up to disconnect it.
5. Replacement is the reverse of removal.
FluidScan will not Power Up

1. Make sure the battery charger is plugged into an outlet that is "live" and turned on.
2. Push the FluidScan power plug firmly into the battery charger:

3. If the charger appears to be working, and there is no reason to suspect that the battery is
defective, you need to check the on-board fuse and replace it if necessary.
Testing and/or Replacing the Internal Fuse
Use a grounding strap when working inside the plastic case to prevent static
electricity damage.
The fuse is an SMD 1.5A 125V Fast-Blow. The Spectro Scientific replacement
part number is P-10739.
Follow these steps to test/replace the fuse:
1. Remove the strap handles.
2. Make sure the sample cell is securely supported or temporarily taped in place.
3. Remove the five screws around the bottom of the case.
4. Separate the front assembly from the body starting at the head (the test cell end). Once
separated, slide the top half away from you to ensure the power and USB connections on
the bottom edge of the device will clear the bottom casing.
There are five connectors on the board (circled in red). One of them is empty by design;
take care that the connectors or the wiring for the other four do not get disconnected:
5. Test the fuse with a continuity tester. If it fails, install a replacement fuse.
6. Re-assemble the device in reverse order and power it back on.

B Fluid Categories, Tests, and Libraries
The following table summarizes the categories and tests that apply to each type of application
library.
If you look up your oil in the Fluid Database on page 78, you can find the Category for any
product, then look here for the tests and libraries for that category of fluid.
Category Description Tests Libraries

Transmission Automotive transmission applications Water (ppm) Automotive
use a series of fluids such as DEXRON, Oxidation (Abs/mm2) Industrial
MERCON ATF fluids, and only water Marine
and oxidation are measured. The Railroad
oxidation of the fluid will affect shifting
and shorten clutch and gear life. Water
ingression indicates seal issues. This
category is primarily for determining
drain interval extensions and
troubleshooting.
Hydraulic-Fire Phosphate esters are a class of Water (ppm) Industrial

Resistant functional chemical fluids used in TAN (mgKOH/g) Aviation
electrohydraulic control systems to Military
where high temperatures are possible.
TAN and Water are the primary
measures of fluid health. Oxidation is
not tested, as the TAN is more
informative. These fluids can be
restored to normal conditions in the field
by use of active ion exchange filtration
techniques.
Hydraulic-Aero Hydraulic fluids used in aircraft Water (ppm) Aviation

applications are concerned with water, Oxidation (Abs/mm2) Military
oxidation and fluid mix-up. These Alien Fluid (MIL-H-
predominantly synthetic fluids are 2104) (%)
susceptible to fluid mix-up, particularly Alien Fluid (MIL-H-
where fire resistant and mineral base 23699) (%)
fluids of equal viscosity be mixed. Alien
fluid is aiming at looking for two specific
fluids, mineral (2104) and 23699
engine oil.
123
Hydraulic The hydraulic category is a large Water (ppm) Automotive
category for the most common fluids Oxidation (Abs/mm2) Aviation
used for hydraulic applications. TAN (mgKOH/g) Industrial
Predominantly made up of mineral oil Marine
base stocks, all these oils share similar
Railroad
characteristics, with similar additive
packages for long life and reduced
wear on cylinders and pumps.
Heat Transfer Heat transfer fluids are designed Water (ppm) Industrial
specifically to absorb heat, and are Oxidation (Abs/mm2)
designed to operate up to 650F. Water TAN (mgKOH/g)
ingression inhibits heat transfer, and as
the fluids degrade, sludges and
polymerized oil coats cooling tubes.
Oxidation and TAN are used to
determine serviceability for further use.
Turbine-Steam General oils used in turbine and Water (ppm) Industrial

bearing applications. These oils are Oxidation (Abs/mm2) Marine
highly refined, API Group I and hybrid TAN (mgKOH/g)
Group II oils with additives designed for
full film bearing lubrication. Water and
Acidity are closely monitored in these
products.
Turbine-CCGT This category focuses on oils used in Water (ppm) Industrial

high temperature, geared turbine Oxidation (Abs/mm2) Marine
applications. These are typically TAN (mgKOH/g)
composed of Group 11 and Group 111
with an antioxidant. These turbines
often have additive packages for Water,
TAN and oxidation.
Turbine-Aero These synthetic fluids (polyol esters, Water (ppm) Aviation

disaster blends) have exceptionally TAN (mgKOH/g) Industrial
high resistance to oxidation, and do not AntiOxidant (%) Military
form sludge or varnish. Water, TAN and
Antioxidant remaining % are reported.
Slideway Oils used in slides, way, spindle Water (ppm) Industrial

applications. These fluids have extra Oxidation (Abs/mm2)
additives for friction. Water, TAN and TAN (mgKOH/g)
oxidation are reported.
124
Compressor Fluids used in compressor applications. Water (ppm) Aviation
These are commonly Polyalkyl Oxidation (Abs/mm2) Industrial
glycol/Polyol Ester blends for rotary TAN (mgKOH/g) Marine
screw compressor applications, and Military
diester blends. Water, TAN and Railroad
Oxidation parameters help determine if
a change is warranted.
Chiller Fluids used in refrigerated compressor Water (ppm) Industrial

applications, additives and naphthenic Oxidation (Abs/mm2) Marine
basetocks are chosen because of low TAN (mgKOH/g) Military
pour point, low floc point and miscibility
with refrigerant such as R22. Freon or
Ammonia.
Note: Refrigerant such as ammonia or
Freon that has not been outgassed from
sample may interfere with sample
analysis on fliptop cell, resulting in
Fluidscan not reporting values due to
high noise.
Gear-Splash Geared systems with a pitch line Water (ppm) Industrial

velocity of less than 1000 m/s, high load Oxidation (Abs/mm2) Marine
boxes common in industrial TAN (mgKOH/g) Military
applications. Bath lubricated. Water,
TAN and Oxidation are offered.
Gear-Pressure Geared systems with a pitch line Water (ppm) Industrial

velocity greater than 1000 m/s. This Oxidation (Abs/mm2) Marine
includes high speed boxes, drives, TAN (mgKOH/g) Military
heavy duty transmissions. These gear
oils are frequently pumped in large
applications (e.g wind turbines). Water,
TAN and oxidation are offered.
Engine This category is suitable for most 2-and Water (ppm) Automotive
