II. GETTING STARTED
II.1 Power Up
The DV2T will go through a Power Up sequence when the power is turned on. The
Viscometer will issue a beep, present a blue screen, and finally show the DV2T About
screen for 5 seconds. The About screen is shown below and includes several critical
parameters about the viscometer including; viscometer torque (LV, RV, HA, HB, or other),
firmware version number, model number (DV2TLV for example) and the serial number.
Figure II-1
The About screen can also be accessed through the Settings Menu (see Section IV.1).
The DV2T Viscometer will automatically transition from the About screen to the AutoZero
screen.
TIP: When contacting Brookfield or your authorized Brookfield dealer for technical support
or repair services, please record the information on the About screen and include
this detail in your email.
II.2 AutoZero
The DV2T Viscometer must perform an AutoZero prior to making viscosity measurements.
This process sets the zero reading for the measurement system. The AutoZero will be
performed every time the instrument is turned on. Additionally, you may perform an AutoZero
at any time through the Settings Menu (see Section IV.1).
The AutoZero screen will be presented automatically, after the About screen, during a
power up.
