Overview :
The Lubmarine Tech’Care/Tcc kit is a high efficiency oil monitoring kit
designed to give a rapid and accurate measurement of the iron content*
in cylinder oils of modern low speed engines.
The use of such equipment is recommended by marine engine
makers to quickly evaluate the iron content*
and adjust cylinder lubrication.
The Lubmarine Tech’Care/Tcc kit includes any accessories and
consumables for performing 50 cylinder oil tests.
*Iron content measured by Tech’Care/TCC is correlated to the total iron content
as defined by ICP measurement ASTM D5185 and recommended by OEMs.

8. Maintenance
7. Preserving the Rapid Optical Oil Tester
Any trace of oil, solutions or reagents
should be removed from the test tube
prior to inserting it into the Rapid Optical
Oil Tester.
Use only dedicated cleaning fabric or
absorbing paper to wipe the tube.
Do not use any cleaning solvents.
Regularly check the cleanliness of the
vial wipe felt pad which is located inside
the test port.
Change the wipe felt pad as soon as it
is spoiled.
To change the vial wipe felt pad :
1. Unscrew the tip of the test port.
2. Remove the spoiled pad and dispose of it.
3. Take a new felt pad and roll it.
4. Insert the rolled felt pad into the test
port tip.
In order to ensure the accuracy of subsequent tests and to preserve the instrument over time, the Rapid Optical Oil Tester must always be
kept clean and dry :
The test port cap should be replaced
when the Rapid Optical Oil Tester is not
being used in order to protect the internal
electronics of the instrument.
5. Replace the tip on the test port and
screw it.
6. Insert a vial in the test port and slide
it gently a few times in order to hone the
positioning of the pad.
The battery compartment cap and USB
port cap should be kept in place at all
times in order to protect the internal
electronics of the instrument.
