Setup
1. Carefully remove the instrument from the wooden crate.
2. Once the unit is in place, lock the casters by depressing the lever on the
side. This will prevent the unit from moving.
3.
Make sure all valves are closed and all switches are off. Connect an air
or nitrogen (100 – 120 PSI / 690 – 827 kPa) supply to the air supply on the
back of the instrument.
This unit uses ¼" NPT female connectors for all supply lines.
4. Connect the drain and coolant supply lines, also on the back of the unit.
5. The consistometer has two power inlets on the back of the cabinet. The
MAIN POWER inlet provides power to the entire unit. The BACK-UP
POWER inlet is optional. It powers the electronics only.
To protect the electronics from a power outage, plug the BACK-UP
POWER into an uninterruptible power supply (UPS). In the event of a
power outage, the heaters will shut off, but the rest of the electronics will
continue to work and the test will keep running.
