The time required for reading stabilization will depend on the speed of rotation and the nature
of the test sample. Longer runs times are recommended at lower speeds.
Speed Run
50-1000 RPM 12 seconds
20-50 RPM 20 seconds
5-20 RPM 30 seconds
II.7 Printing
Pressing the PRINT key at any time sends information on test parameters to the printer port.
However, viscosity, full scale range and shear stress data will only be printed after it is rst
displayed during a test run.
To print a heading, press and hold the STOP/ESCAPE key and press the PRINT key. Then start the
test by pressing the RUN key. Press the PRINT key whenever data is desired during the test.

A maximum of 999 seconds can be printed when running in manual TIMER mode (00). Over
999 seconds will print EEE.
The TIMER (SEC) column will indicate the accumulated time of running at the moment the
print key is pressed while the cone is rotating. This time value will not include the hold time.
At the end of a test, data will automatically be sent to the printer port.
II.8 Run and Stop Keys
The RUN key has three functions:
1. Press RUN to begin a test.
2. Press and hold the
RUN key for continuous rotation when 00 is the run time setting.
3. Used in executing a cone calibration.
The
STOP key has three functions:
1. Stops the cone rotation at any time.
2. Pressing and holding the STOP/ESCAPE key during power up selects the special func-
tions mode where the viscosity display units and speed of rotation may be changed.
(Section II.1)
3. Pressing and holding the STOP and PRINT keys simultaneously executes the printing of
a new heading (Section II.7).
