Once the spindle is in position in the device, press ‘ENTER’ again and the following screen will appear:
In this screen it is necessary to introduce the time required from the moment you give the command to start
the calibration to the moment the device begins the calibration process. This time lapse is frequently used
to allow the sample and the spindle to achieve the desired thermal stability before starting the calibration.
NOTE: When the digits of this field are not selected, the whole line will be blinking.
When the field is selected using the ‘ENTER’ key, only the place of the digit to be
modified will be blinking.
This field will be permanently opened to modification. To modify the value, use the ‘’ and ‘’ keys to
increase or decrease the value of each digit. Then, press the ‘TAB’ key again to go from a digit’s place to
another. By pressing ‘ENTER’ again, you can finalize the field modification and start the calibrating process
by pressing ‘ON’.
By means of pressing the ‘ON’ key, a countdown back to zero will begin.
The spindle must already be submerged in the liquid once you confirm the start time.
When the countdown gets to zero, the viscometer will start the calibrating sequence. While the equipment
is calibrating, the following screen will appear (example):
On this screen, each step of the calibration process is displayed.
When the process is over, information on the values of the angles and linearity of the calibration are
displayed. If the curvature is lower to 2%, press ‘ENTER’ to confirm the calibration and you will be taken
back to the main calibration screen.
The exit key ‘QUIT’ allows the user to exit to the main menu but never while calibrating (never when the
screen looks like the example shown just above).
NOTE: Exiting mid-calibration denies the equipment a proper calibration and therefore
it cannot guarantee accurate results.
