Setup

Viscometer

1. Place the unit on a solid, level surface away from any large motors or

strong magnetic fields.

2. The HTHP Viscometer is designed to test samples at elevated

temperatures and pressures. It requires an air supply of 100 PSI (150 PSI

maximum) to drive the pump and a water source (standard tap water) to

cool the unit and the test sample. The panel on the left-hand side of the

unit has 3 fittings, ¼" (6.35 mm) NPT, for the air supply, water source, and

drain.

The viscometer requires a constant air supply throughout the test.

3. Connect the DB-9 cable to the viscometer and the computer COM port 1.

This connection can be found on the right panel of the unit.

4. Connect the 68-pin cable to the viscometer and the computer. On the unit,

this connection can be found next to the DB-9 connection. There will be a

matching connection on the back panel of the computer.

Make sure the viscometer power switch is in the “off” position. Connect

the power cord to the unit and an AC power source.

6. Turn the unit on. The power switch is located on the lower right panel.

Once the unit is turned on, you will immediately hear both fans operating

inside the tower and a beep from the electronics.

Before running a test on the viscometer, you must zero the compass

and then run a calibration procedure. For detailed instructions, see

page 18 for calibrating the unit and page 47 for zeroing the

compass.
