press  the  Start

 

button 

  on  the  Control 

Panel. The viscometer status, which as a default 
displays 

OFF,

  will  change  to 

RUN

  and  the 

integrated timer will begin.  
 
When  the  sample  passes  the  second  indication 

line,  press  the  Stop  button 

.  The  time  will 

stop,  the  status  will  display 

DONE

,  and  a 

viscosity value will automatically be displayed at 
the bottom of the Test Data area (Figure 3, point 
4).   
 

Pressing  and  holding  the  Stop  button 

  for 

2  seconds  or  more  will  reset  the  time  and 
viscosity  values  and  OFF  will  display  as  the 
status.  
 
When using a viscometer with two (2) constants, 
two  (2)  time  values  are  used  to  calculate 
viscosity.  This  means  that  when  running  a 
viscosity  test  using  a  two  constant  viscometer 

the Stop button 

 must be pressed twice.  

 
When  the  sample  passes  the  first  indicator  line 
the 

Time 1

  will stop and 

Time 2

  will begin. The 

status will change from 

RUN

 to 

RUN 2

.  

 
Once  the  sample  passes  the  second  indicator 
line  on  the  viscometer  tube,  press  the  Stop 

button  

 a second time and the 

TIME 2

 will 

stop.  The  status  will  change  from 

RUN  2

  to 

DONE 

and  the  viscosity  value  will  automatically 

be calculated and displayed.  
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 

Safety Features 

 

The  Koehler  KV4000  Kinematic  Viscosity 

System  is  equipped  with  several  safety  and 
protection  features,  which  are  described  in  the 
following sections. 
 

WARNING:

  The  bath  is 

NOT

  Explosion 

Proof.  

6.1  Over-Temperature Protection 

 

The  Koehler  KV4000  Kinematic  Viscosity 

System  is  equipped  with  Over-temperature 
Protection  (OTP)  circuitry,  which  prevents  the 
unit 

from 

exceeding 

unsafe 

operating 

temperatures. If the unit cannot maintain the set 
point  temperature  and  begins  to  decline,  the 
OTP  circuitry  may  have  been  activated.  Please 
follow these steps. 

 

1.  Turn  off  the  unit  power  switch  and 

disconnect the line cord. 

 
2.  Determine  the  source  of  the  problem  and 

correct the situation. 

 

3.  Restart  the  unit.  Monitor  the  operations  to 

ensure  that  the  unit  is  operating  properly.  If 
you  are  still  experiencing  trouble,  please 
contact 

Koehler 

technical 

service 

for 

assistance. 

6.2  Over-Power Protection 

 

The  Koehler  KV4000  Kinematic  Viscosity 

System  is  equipped  with  Over-power  Protection 
circuitry,  which  prevents  the  unit  from  unsafe 
electrical  conditions.  If  power  to  the  unit  is  lost, 
then turn off the main power and turn it back on 
again. The  main  power  switch  also  functions  as 
a circuit breaker. 

Troubleshooting 

 

WARNING:

 

Troubleshooting  procedures 

involve  working  with  high  voltages  and/or 
temperatures which may result in personal injury 
or  death,  and  should  only  be  performed  by 
trained  personnel.  Please  do  not  hesitate  to 
contact Koehler for assistance.
