Upon pressing the CONE key to accept the last digit of the SMC value, the viscometer displays
the message:
Figure B8
SRC (00) = 00.0000
Using the CONE and INDEX keys, enter the Shear Rate Constant (SRC). Refer to
Appendix A.
Note: All Zeros are not allowed.
Upon pressing the CONE key to accept the last digit of the SRC value, the viscometer displays
the message:

Using the TEMP and INDEX keys, enter the calibration temperature.
Upon pressing the TEMP key to accept the last digit of the calibration temperature, the viscom-
eter displays the message:
Figure B10
FLUID = 00000 cP
Using the CONE and INDEX keys, enter the viscosity of the standard fluid in centipoise
(mPa
. s).
NOTE: Calibration is performed using CENTIPOISE (mPa . s) values, NOT POISE values,
for the Viscosity Standard Fluid.
Viscosity is entered as a five (5) digit number referencing from RIGHT to LEFT.
Example: Viscosity of 433 centipoise (mPa . s). Enter 00433.
Viscosity of 12,500 centipoise (mPa . s). Enter 12500.
Note: If an incorrect value is entered for the Viscosity Standard Fluid, press
the STOP key and begin over at Step 1.
Zero viscosity is not allowed.
Pressing the CONE key after entering the fifth digit displays the message:
