Press the Viscometer Data Box (section 5.3, point
3) to access the Viscometer Setup Screen. See
Figure 4 in section 5.3 and Figure 6 below for an
additional illustration.
Figure 4. Control Panel_Viscometer Setup Screen
Refer to Section 5.3, points 5 thru 12 for
instructions on how to input and load viscometer
parameter data.
After all required parameters are entered and the
sample temperature has reached the test
temperature it is time to begin the test.
For Automatic Operation:
From the Main Screen, press the Auto Mode
button.
Press the Start button. . The viscometer
status field located at the upper right hand side of
the screen will change from
OFF to READY .
Remove the stopper. When the sample passes the
first indication line of the viscometer tube the
instrument status will automatically change to
RUN and the integrated timer will begin.
When the sample passes the second indication
line the time will automatically 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.
When the sample passes the first indicator line the
Time 1 will stop and Time 2 will begin. The status
will automatically change from RUN to RUN 2 .
Once the sample passes the second indicator line
on the viscometer tube the
TIME 2 will
automatically stop, the status will change from
RUN 2 to DONE and the viscosity value will
automatically be calculated and displayed.
For Manual Operation:
From the Main Screen, press the Manual Mode
button.
Remove the stopper. When the sample passes the
first indication line of the viscometer tube, press
the Start button on the Control Panel. When
the viscometer is in standby mode the status will
display
OFF at the upper right hand side of the
screen. Upon pressing the Start button the
instrument status 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.
