10.1.1 TruSine™ (Bearing check)
The
TruSine™ (Bearing check)
checks whether the
measuring apparatus of ViscoQC is in good working
order. It proves that sensitive parts such as the
spring and the point jewel (bearing) are not dam-
aged or worn.
Perform a new bearing check:

". Remove the spindle and
tap <Next>. Do not touch the instrument until the
check is finished. A successful bearing check shows
a very smooth decrease of torque. The final torque
value should be between 0.0 % and 0.5 % to be val-
id. Message: "Successful". Tap <OK>.
If the bearing check fails, calibrate with a reference
standard liquid (see section 6.1).
If calibrating also fails, contact your local Anton Paar
representative.
