Section 2 – Operating Instructions

Test Preparation

1. Locate the Instrument on a level surface and make all fluid and power connections.
2. Turn the instrument ON (Green LED will be on).
Note: Turning ON the instrument power will automatically zero the encoder.
Therefore, the fluid input valve should be closed and no fluid should be flowing
through the instrument.
3. When ready to take measurements, open fluid inlet valve and turn on motor switch.
Note: The red LED light, if on, indicates a fault with the motor controller.

Test Completion and Clean-up

1. Circulate clean water through the viscometer to flush out treatment fluid.
2. Drain all fluid from the viscometer.
3. For good measurement practice, the viscometer should be hand cleaned after every use.
First, disconnect the encoder cable and unthread the large coupling nut to remove the
measurement head.
4. Carefully remove the measurement head.
Note: The measurement head has an O-ring seal and will be tight during removal.
