Setup
Consistometer
1. Carefully remove the instrument from the wooden crate.
2. Once the unit is in place, lock the casters by depressing the lever on the
side. This will prevent the unit from moving.
3. Make sure all valves are closed and all switches are off. Connect an air
or nitrogen (100 – 120 PSI / 690 – 827 kPa) supply to the air supply on the
back of the instrument.
This unit uses ¼" NPT female connectors for all supply lines.
4. Connect the drain and coolant supply lines, also on the back of the unit.
5. The consistometer has two power inlets. The large power cable on the
back of the cabinet provides power to the heaters. The lower inlet on the
left-hand side of the cabinet powers the rest of the electronics
To protect the electronics from a power outage, plug the inlet on the side
of the cabinet into an uninterruptible power supply (UPS). Then plug
the heater power cable into a 230 volt power source. In the event of a
power outage, the heaters will shut off, but the rest of the electronics will
continue to work and the test will keep running.
Above the electronics power inlet is a power outlet. To run the
Consistometer without the protection of a UPS, plug the electronics power
inlet into the power outlet above it. This will run the Consistometer using
power from the heater.
