and describes all you need to know about how to use

your tester accurately and take care of it in line with its

requirements. Please read these instructions

carefully and keep them handy for future reference.

This book also contains the terms and conditions in

relation to the use of the tester including the Disclaimer,

EXCLUSION and Limitation of Liability clauses stated

above in Section I.

III. About SAM by Presidium

SAM has been developed upon existing thermal and

electrical conductivity technology with addition of

technologically advanced circuitries as well as a highly

sensitive thermoelectric probe for distinction between

colorless diamonds against a wider range of moissanites.

The thermoelectric probeisdesignedwithhighlysensitive

electronic circuitry to detect and segregate data collected

from the gemstones via a customized micro-controller.

The information gathered will be displayed within seconds.

SAM has been subjected to thorough and extensive

laboratory tests, and will generally give a clear and

reliable reading of the gemstone being tested under

proper use. However, you are advised to conduct further

supporting tests.

This tester was designed with the following

objectives:

• Help in the identication of colorless diamonds,

moissanites and simulants with a single instrument

• Able to distinguish a wider range of moissanites,

including the new “low electrical conductivity

moissanite”

• More advanced processing and detection algorithm

• Provide fairly consistent and reliable test results

under proper use

SAM features the following:

• Retractable thermoelectric probe tip that ensures

constant pressure between probe tip and gemstone

• Industry’s thinnest probe tip (0.45mm) that can test on

diamonds as small as 0.01 carats

• Power via USB

• Metal alert buzzer to ensure that probe tip is in contact

with gemstone during testing

• No waiting time between tests

• Stylish ergonomic design

• 180-degree multi-viewing LED display

• International voltage compatibility

• Low battery indicator

• Automatic power o󰀨 of 10 minutes of inactivity

IV. IMPORTANT NOTICE

• Due to the testing methodology, this tester is not

intended to test for any colored diamonds, such as

blue and black diamonds, as the electrical conductivity

of these colored diamonds di󰀨ers from colorless

diamonds.

• Keep the tester dry. Precipitation and all types of

liquids or moisture can contain minerals that will

corrode electronic circuits. If your tester gets wet,

remove the battery, and allow the tester to dry

completely before replacing it.

• Do not use, store or expose the tester in dusty and

dirty areas. Its moving parts and electronic

components can be damaged.

• Do not use, store or expose the tester in hot areas.

High temperatures can damage or shorten the life of

the tester , damage batteries, and warp or melt certain

plastics.

• Do not use, store or expose the tester in cold areas.

When the tester returns to its normal temperature,

moisture can form inside the tester and damage

electronic circuit boards.

• Store the tester at room temperature (23°C – 27°C or

73°F – 80°F).

• Do not attempt to open the tester, including the removal

of the tip, other than as instructed in this handbook.

• Do not drop, knock, or shake the tester. Rough

handling might break internal circuit boards and ne

mechanics.

• Do not use harsh chemicals, cleaning solvents, or

strong detergents to clean the tester.

• Do not paint the tester. Paint can clog the moving parts

and prevent proper operation.

If the tester is not working properly, kindly contact

Presidium Customer Service at [email protected].

1. GETTING STARTED with your SAM

Powering up your SAM

This tester can be powered by either the use of an AC

adaptor (optional item sold separately) or through the use

of batteries. If AC adaptor is used, connect one end of

the AC adaptor to the tester (Fig. 1.1). and the other end

directly into an electrical outlet. Please ensure that only

the adaptor supplied by Presidium is used.

If batteries are used (3 x AAA batteries), take note of the

positive (+) and negative (-) directions of batteries when

inserting the batteries into the tester (Fig. 1.2). The use of

alkaline batteries is preferred, as it should generally allow

for approximately 2,000 tests, while the use of ordinary

batteries will give a shorter working life.

(Fig. 1.3) Take note of the positive (+) and negative (-)

directions of the batteries when inserting the batteries

into the tester. Secure back the battery cover.

Turning on your SAM

Remove the protective cover from the tester. For rst time

use, please remove the plastic cap from the probe tip.

(Fig.1.4).

Press the Power button located at the lower end of the

device. (Fig. 1.5). Wait for approximately 10 seconds to

warm up to the predetermined tip temperature.

Fig. 1.6

While in the warming up period, a Blue light will blink

continuously. The light will stop blinking when it is “READY”

to be used (Fig. 1.6).

The tester will shut down automatically after 10 minutes

of inactivity on battery mode.

Recommended testing conditions

Cleaning your gemstone prior to testing

Prepare a clean tissue or jewelry cloth. Carefully retrieve

the gemstone with tweezers and place the gemstone

face down on its table facet (Fig. 1.7).

Gently rub the table of gemstone against the tissue/

jewelry cloth (Fig. 1.8).

If your stone is mounted jewelry, please carefully clean

the stone (Fig. 1.9).

Operating Conditions

Calibration

All testers have been calibrated during the manufacturing

process and no further adjustment or user intervention to

the tester is needed.

Self-calibration should not be attempted. To minimize

any risks associated, user should contact Presidium

at [email protected] or its service center

for assistance. In the event that users require the

manufacturer to re-calibrate the unit, the users will bear

the associated to/fro freight cost for shipping of unit to the

service center.

Recommended Normal Operating Conditions

The recommended testing temperature is 23°C – 27°C

or 73°F – 80°F. Please allow the gemstone or jewelry

piece to adjust to room temperature prior to testing.

Exposure and/or operation of the tester outside the room

temperature would a󰀨ect the results and performance of

the tester.

Battery information

Do not leave worn out batteries in the battery compartment

as the batteries may corrode, leak or damage the tester.

Batteries should be removed when the tester is expected

to be stored for an extended period of time.

To prevent inaccurate readings, replace with new

batteries as soon as the low battery indicator lights up or

starts to blink. A test should not be performed when the

battery power is low or weak.

Batteries do not have to be removed when the AC

adaptor is in use.
