Conducting Measurements via the High-Pressure Port INLET
Press the "START" key and set the flow rate to approx. 100 ml/min, using
the flow control valve on the front.
If an error message appears in the display, turn the flow control valve in the
required direction until the error message disappears and measurement
operation starts automatically.
Conducting measurements via the integrated pump SUCTION INLET
NOTICE
Overloading the internal pumps
The FCU will be destroyed
►
Operate the FCU only using the original power adapter.
The integrated overload protection protects the FCU pump.
Turn the flow control valve knob on the front side of the FCU all the way
clockwise.
The installed FCU pump can be supplied with power "internally" via the
integrated battery or "externally" via the power adapter.
Check the setting for "internal" or "external" in the Pump supply menu. For
details on change-over, see page 74.
The factory setting of the FCU is "internal".
One battery charge is sufficient for conducting measurements using the
pump for approx. 2 hours.
In order to make use of the full viscosity range, you must connect
both power adapters. You can find the permitted viscosity ranges
when operating with an internal pump on page 99.
The power consumption of the pump is dependent on the
viscosity of the fluid to be conveyed. Starting with a viscosity of >
150 mm
2
/s and upwards, the power consumption is so great that
the overload protection feature of the power adapter connected
may respond after a certain amount of time and the power supply
will be shut off.
This prevents the pump motor from overheating. The ongoing
measurement will be interrupted with a flow error. The power
supply will then switch the power supply back on automatically
after it has cooled down.
