(SI system). If the viscosity measurement is over range, “EEEE” will be displayed. Brookfield recommends a minimum torque reading of 10% when making viscosity measurements. If the torque value is between 0 and 10%, the display will flash to indicate an under range condition. -
Page 12: Getting Started
Turn the power ON using the switch located on the rear of the base console. The display will sequentially show BROOKFIELD, then the model of the viscometer and the version number. After about four seconds, the main screen will be displayed (Figure II-1). - Page 13 YES and see Section III. Cones supplied at the time of order are calibrated to the viscometer by Brookfield prior to shipment, but should still be verified with a calibration check prior to use for the first time. Cones purchased separately at a later time by the user must also be calibrated prior to making viscosity measurements.

Page 20: Iii.3 Calibration Verification
The cones/spindles that were shipped with the viscometer were calibrated to the viscometer by Brookfield prior to shipment. If your viscometer was returned to Brookfield or an authorized Brookfield Dealer, then any cones/spindles that were returned for service will have been calibrated to the viscometer prior to shipment. - Page 21 6. If the test fails, repeat again to make sure that every step was performed correctly. If the test fails again, perform a cone calibration according to the procedure in Section III.4.

However, more weight means more wear on the cone and plate. Additional weights should only be considered when definitely required and removed when not required. Contact Brookfield Engineering Laboratories or your Brookfield Dealer/Distributor/ Representative for details on the above information. -

Notes: a. Lock the cone tightly into the adapter. b. When measuring volatile samples such as paints and coatings, and when using either a high temperature CAP 1000+H or CAP 2000+H, the solvent trap must be put in place over the cone to prevent the test sample from drying out during the rotation of the cone. - Page 26 It is recommended to remove the cone for cleaning. However, with care, the cone can be cleaned in place. Caution: HOT surface! Clean the viscometer plate (refer to Section I.8). Caution: HOT surface! Brookfield Engineering Labs., Inc.

If you set a Viscometer at a constant speed, recording P values over time, and find that the P values decrease with time, the material is thixotropic. The Brookfield publication “More Solutions to Sticky Problems” includes a more detailed discussion of rheological properties and non-Newtonian behavior. -
