2. GETTING STARTED
2.1 Powering up
The DVNext will go through a Power Up sequence when the power is turned on. The Rheometer will issue a beep,
present a blue screen, and finally show the DVNext About screen for 5 seconds. The About screen is shown below
and includes several critical parameters about the rheometer including; rheometer torque (LV, RV, HA, HB, or other),
firmware version number, model number (DVNext LV, for example) and the serial number.
The About screen can also be accessed through the Settings Menu
(see Section V.1).
The DVNext Rheometer will automatically transition from the About screen to the AutoZero screen.
TIP: When contacting AMETEK Brookfield or your local authorized dealer for technical support or repair services,
please record the information on the About screen and include this detail in your email.

2.2 Digital leveling
Upon powering up the DVNext, the user will be prompted to level the DVNext device, if not already level. To level
the DVNext, adjust the leveling screws on the base. When the device is not level, the centering dot will be red. While
adjusting to a level position, the dot will become yellow, signifying that the device is approaching a position where
it will be level. Once the dot is within specified limits of the center circle, the dot will turn green to signify that the
DVNext is now level and ready to operate (see Figure II-2). Following this process, the device will then move onto
the autozero function (Section II.2). For compliant DVNext devices, the Administrator can prevent other users from
skipping the leveling popup. When this occurs, the user will not be able to skip/ignore the popup warning as the
option will be grayed out. This option is only available to Compliant Edition devices and is not available on Standard
Edition devices.
