Figure B1
CALIBRATE ? NO
Toggling the INDEX key displays the words NO and YES.
4. Press the INDEX key to display the word YES.
5. Cone 01 to 06
Press the CONE key and the viscometer displays the message:
Figure B2
SET TEMP 25.0
°
C
Using the TEMP and INDEX keys, enter the viscosity standard fluid calibration temperature.
NOTE: The viscometer temperature control must be identical to the specified tempera-
ture for the viscosity standard when executing the calibration. Normally calibra-
tion will be at 25
°
C for “L” Series CAP Viscometers and at 60
°
C for “H” Series
CAP Viscometers.
Upon pressing the TEMP key to accept the last digit of the calibration temperature, the viscom-
eter displays the message:
Figure B3
FLUID = 00000 cP
Using the CONE and INDEX keys, enter the viscosity of the standard fluid in centipoise
(mPa
. s).
NOTE: Calibration is performed using CENTIPOISE (mPa . s) values, NOT POISE values,
for the Viscosity Standard Fluid.
Viscosity is entered as a five (5) digit number referencing from RIGHT to LEFT.
Example: Viscosity of 433 centipoise (mPa . s). Enter 00433.
Viscosity of 12,500 centipoise (mPa . s). Enter 12500.
Note: If an incorrect value is entered for the Viscosity Standard Fluid, press
the STOP key and begin over at Step 1.
Zero viscosity is not allowed.
