Standalone
Mode
The HTHP Consistometer is designed to be fully operational with or without a
computer. In standalone mode, the user can still create, modify, and run tests;
calibrate the various components; and set testing options.
The on-board control panel consists of a display screen, a Scroll Wheel, and
an Exit button. It is also equipped with a back up battery supply which allows
a memory to be stored if the main power cord is disconnected.
The Scroll Wheel turns clockwise and counterclockwise. Turning the wheel
scrolls through menu and parameter options. Pushing the Scroll Wheel in
signals acceptance.
The Exit button cancels any pending input and returns to the previous menu.
The rst line of the display screen is used to display status and error
messages. Below is a list of status messages. Refer to page 69 for a list of
error messages.
- READY TO TEST: The instrument is idle, there are no errors, and it is
ready to start a test.
- PLEASE WAIT: The instrument is starting up and the hardware is
initializing.
- RUNNING TEST: A test is currently running and there are no errors.
- TEST FINISHED: The slurry consistency has reached the maximum
value specied in the options. To acknowledge this message, press
the scroll wheel.
- ENTER TO START TIMER: The instrument is waiting on user input
to begin testing. While this message is displayed, the motor will be
running.
