Mount the fastening rod (C) with the holding screw (D) at the base (A).
Attach the nut (F) to the fastening rod. The viscometer should be connected to the nut (F) by
means of its rod (E).
Note:
The following process should be done carefully in order to not harm to the shaft of the
viscometer. Immediately remove the shaft’s plastic protector before beginning to use
the viscometer.
Insert the horizontal rod of the viscometer (E) into the nut (F).
Fig. 5 Set-up for the viscometer base
The viscometer should be placed on a stable surface free of vibrations (i.e. caused by other
machines or equipment). Do not put the viscometer in direct contact with sunlight or in the
middle of any air flow (the temperature of the sample can be easily influenced by the
surrounding conditions). The viscometer is designed for indoor use.
Use the height adjustment knobs until the height of the viscometer (located in rod E) is
correctly adjusted.
Plug the power cable into the connector located on the back of the equipment (Fig. 3
position 5) and plug it into the power source.
WARNING:
The socket by which the viscometer will be connected should have a ground. Always use
a power cable with a ground connection! Verify that the voltage and the frequency
coincide with the specifications for the viscometer (look at the identification label Fig. 4,
for more information). Before turning on the machine, let it sit for some time so that it
acclimates to the surrounding temperature in order to avoid a short-circuit caused by
condensation. The fluctuations of the power source should not surpass
10% of the
nominal voltage.
7.2 The keyboard and screen
Before starting up the machine, it is recommended to become familiar with the viscometer controls
seen in the previous section. The instrument has a 12 key keyboard (number 2 Fig. 2) and a colour
TFT screen (number 1 Fig. 2) on the frontal to allow the user to interact with the viscometer. The
