UNPACKING
We recommend our customers to save the packaging material and reuse it while shipping for servicing/repairs.
Check carefully to see that all the components are received with no concealed damage:
•
1 Base, GV-1201, with 2 Leveling Screws
•
GV-1203, packed in a cardboard carton
•
1 Upright Rod with attached Clamp Assembly in the instrument case
ASSEMBLY (REFER TO FIGURES K-1 OR K-2)
•
Remove the base assembly from the carton.
•
Remove the screw and washer from the upright rod. Place the rod and clamp assembly into the hole at the
top of the base.
•
Note: The "Front" designation on the clamp assembly should face toward you.
•
Rotate the rod/clamp assembly slightly until the slot on the bottom of the rod intersects the pin located in
the base.
•
While holding the rod and base together, insert the slotted screw and washer as shown and tighten
securely.
•
Adjust the tension screw so that the clamp assembly is not loose on the upright rod.
VISCOMETER MOUNTING
Insert the Viscometer mounting rod into the hole (with the cut-away slot) in the clamp assembly. Turn on the device
and proceed to the leveling screen. Once this screen has been reached and the digital level can be seen, adjust the
instrument level until the bubble is centered from right to left and tighten the clamp knob (clockwise). Use the leveling
screws to "fine" adjust the Viscometer level.
Note: If the Digital Viscometer cannot be leveled, check to ensure that the rod is installed with the gear rack
facing forward.
Do not tighten the clamp knob unless the Viscometer mounting rod is inserted in the clamp
assembly.
Do not use the DVPlus Viscometer with any laboratory stand that does not utilize the GV-1201 base.
This large base is necessary for stability of the DVPlus Viscometer during use. Earlier versions of
the AMETEK Brookfield Laboratory Stand including the Model A and Model S should not be used
with the DVPlus.
OPERATION
Rotate the UP/DOWN knob to raise or lower the Viscometer. Adjust the tension screw if the UP/ DOWN movement of
the Viscometer head is not acceptable, i.e. too easy or too difficult.
