7.3 Start-up
Turn on the switch on the back of the machine (number 4, Fig. 3). If after doing this, the machine
does not turn on:
Verify that the power cable is connected to both the power and the Power Supply and that
the Power Supply is also connected to the equipment (back part, number 5, Fig. 3).
The machine will beep, indicating that it has started and it will show the AUTOTEST screen:
The equipment initially comes configured with:
-
English
-
Temperature units in Celsius (ºC)
-
Viscosity units in centipoises (cP).
If these are not the desired basic configurations, the equipment can be reconfigured in the
‘INSTRUMENT SETUP’ (section 8.2). Any changes made to the machine configuration in the
previous menu will remain even after restarting the equipment.
7.4 Autotest
The AUTOTEST process allows you to verify the proper operation of the viscometer, in a way that
allows detection of motor malfunctions in a simple and practical way.
VERY IMPORTANT:
The AUTOTEST should be carried out without a spindle.
Once the AUTOTEST screen is shown on the screen, we should confirm that the spindle is not
connected. Afterwards, press ‘ENTER’ and the auto-check process will begin. While this test is
running, the screen will show this message:
The progress bar that appears below the word ¨AUTOTESTING¨ displays the status of this process
accompanied by a textual representation of the progress in a percent format.
