Setup
5.1
Insert / replace the batteries
The battery compartment is located at the back of the display unit. To open it, you have to loosen 2
screws first. Then you can remove the cover plate.
Replace the old batteries with 4 new AA batteries and make sure you insert them properly before
mounting the cover plate back on.
5.2
Attach a rotor / spindle
The rotors can be attached to the viscometer via a screw connection.
To do so, gently place the rotor at the bottom end of the engine shaft at the bottom of the display unit and
carefully turn it clockwise.
Note: Be careful when attaching the rotor to prevent damage to the rotor and shaft.
Note: Always keep the engine shaft and rotors clean, especially the screw connection.
Note: Every rotor has a mark with its name on it at the top end.
5.3
Measuring vessel
The included measuring vessel has 3 pins on the bottom side, which fit into the 3 holes on the base plate
of the viscometer. This prevents the measuring vessel from moving when you are taking a measurement.
To prepare a measurement, fill the vessel with a fluid up to the filling mark (170 ml) and place it on the
base plate.
Note: Make sure the viscometer is levelled properly before taking a measurement.
