Viscosity and Temperature Display / Cleaning
I.7 VISCOSITY AND TEMPERATURE DISPLAY
Viscosity is displayed in either P=Poise or cP=Centipoise (CGS system) or
Pa•s=Pascal seconds or mPa•s=milliPascal seconds (SI system). If the viscosity
measurement is over range, “EEEE” will be displayed. BYK-Gardner recommends a
minimum reading of 10%. If the display value is between 0 and 10%, the unit display
willashtoindicateanoutofrangecondition.Iftheviscometersettlesoutwitha

Temperature is displayed in °C=degrees centigrade.
I.8 Cleaning
Instrument, Keypad & Painted Surfaces:
Clean with dry, non-abrasive cloth.
Do not use solventsor cleaners.
Immersed Components (spindles/cones) and insulation plate:
All immersed components are made of carbide steel.
Clean with non-abrasive cloth and solvent appropriate for sample material
that is not aggressive to immersed components.
NOTE: When cleaning, take care not to apply excessive force which may
bend the spindle shaft or otherwise damage the instrument.
