5-1 Preparing the Sample
1 Pour the sample into the cup until its surface
reaches between the level gauges. The level
gauges indicate 35 and 45 mL.
2 Attach the cup on the table along the guides.
3 Confirm that the protector is in the position as
shown in the figure.
Raise the lever to release the sensor unit.
4 Pinch the grips, support the front side of the
sensor unit and gently lower the sensor plates
above the sample surface.
5 Lower the lever to secure the sensor unit.
6 Turn the knob on the table so as
to adjust the sample surface to the
center of the narrow part of the
sensor plates. At this time, use the
surface locator plate as a guide.
The surface locator plate has
been secured in position so that
the tip of the surface locator plate
comes into contact with the
sample surface.
Note
•
Be sure to adjust the sample surface to the
center of the narrow part of the sensor plates.
Otherwise, a measurement error may occur.
•
The surface locator plate can be attached or
removed by loosening the screw.
•
Before removing the sensor protective
cover, remove the surface locator plate.
•
When the surface locator plate was
removed and attached again, it is
recommended that calibration be
performed using the standard viscosity
fluid before measurement.
