Setup
Viscometer
1. On the back panel, locate the three ¼" (6.35mm) NPT fittings. Connect
a water source (15 - 30 PSI / 104 - 208 kPa), Nitrogen source, and drain
hose to the appropriate fittings.
The Nitrogen is used to pressurize the sample and prevent boiling at
temperatures above 212°F (100°C). The water is used to raise and lower
the heater.
2. Screw the heater cable from the heat bath into the bottom of the cabinet.
3. Plug the thermocouple from the heat bath into the bottom of the cabinet.
4. Connect the viscometer to the computer using either a 9-pin RS232
cable, a Local Area Network connection with an Ethernet cable, or
Bluetooth.
5. Make sure the “Power” switch is in the off position. Plug the power cord
into an AC power source.
