Brookfield CAP2000 Viscometer - Manual (Page 11)

Brookfield Engineering Labs., Inc. Page 11 Manual No. M/94-310F
Note: Entering 00 sets the manual run time mode. Pressing and holding the RUN key rotates
the cone continuously.
Using the TIMER and INDEX keys, select the run time for rotating the cone. After the second
press of the TIMER key, the sequence is completed and the run time is set. The display will
revert to the MAIN SCREEN (Figure 2).
Note: Run time entries below 10 seconds are not allowed as viscometer/fluid equilibrium, in
most cases, will not be established.
II.7 Printing
Pressing the PRINT key at any time sends information on test parameters to the printer port.
However, viscosity, full scale range and shear stress data will only be printed after it is first
displayed during a test run.
At the end of a timed speed execution, data will automatically be sent to the printer port.
To Print a Heading, Press and Hold the STOP key and Press the PRINT key.
CAP 2000 AND 1000 PRINT OUTPUT
A maximum of 999 seconds can be printed when running in manual TIMER mode
(00). Over 999 seconds will print EEE.
Note: The TIMER (SEC) column will indicate the accumulated time of running at the mo-
ment the print key is pressed while the cone is rotating.
II.8 Run and Stop Keys
The RUN key has four functions:
1.
Press RUN to execute a timed rotational speed.
2. Press and hold the RUN key for continuous rotation when 00 is the timer setting.
3. Used in executing a cone calibration.
4. Used with STOP key to select units.
The STOP key has several functions:
1.
Stops the cone rotation at any time.
2. Pressing the STOP key during any sequence of RPM, TEMP, SAMPLE, TIMER or
CONE entry exits the mode and returns the display to the Main Screen (Figure 2).
3. Pressing and holding the STOP and RUN keys simultaneously selects the viscosity
display units and executes the printing of a new header (Section II.1).
4. Pressing and holding the STOP and PRINT keys simultaneously executes the printing of
a new heading (Section II.7).
