6. Verify the Viscometer Calibration Constant is the same as stated on the Calibration Label located
inside the front door.
Viscosity Low Error
Definition:
When the viscosity gets 1.5cP lower than the set point, this error/fault will be displayed.
Corrective Action:
1. Verify the Viscometer Calibration Constant is the same as stated on the Calibration Label located
inside the front door.
2. Ensure the Makeup Add Valve is not stuck open. Also look for the Ink tank to be overfull while the
Makeup tank is in a low status.
Viscometer Error
Definition:
The printer firmware constantly monitors the location of the ball in the viscometer whenever the ink
stream is on. If the firmware cannot location the position of the ball this error/fault will be displayed.
Corrective Action:
1. Verify the Viscometer Calibration Constant is the same as stated on the Calibration Label located
inside the front door.
2. Check the operation of the Viscometer Valve.
3. Ensure the ball is moving by removing the Viscometer from the mounting bracket. Flush the ink
out of it and tilt the viscometer back and forth while observing LED 9 on the CPU board. The LED
will turn on when the ball is detected and off when the ball moves away from the ball detect
sensor inside the viscometer housing.
Viscometer Not Calibrated
Definition:
Each viscometer is calibrated by Citronix. A label is produced with the Viscometer Calibration Constant
value and is attached to the inside of the front electronic door of the printer. This number is then entered
into the printer firmware. If the CPU board is replaced or the number is erased in the firmware, this
error/fault will occur.
Corrective Action:
1. Look at the label on the inside of the front electronic door for the Viscometer Calibration Constant
number.
