Setting the SPEED/SPINDLE switch to the right position will allow the operator to adjust the
spindle selection. The SELECT knob can be rotated until the desired spindle number is selected.
Once the desired spindle number is shown on the display, set the SPINDLE/SPEED switch to the
middle position.
Note: Verify the proper spindle entry code for the selected spindle found in Appendix
C. Not all spindles have an entry code number that is the same as the spindle
number. For example: the spindle entry code for spindle LV-1 is 61 and the
spindle entry code for UL Adapter is 00.
The
DV-E
will begin to calculate using the new spindle parameters after the spindle number is
shown in the display.
Please see Brookfield publication, “More Solutions to Sticky Problems” (Chapter 3), for information
on how to select a spindle.
II.3 Speed Selection & Setting
There are 18 rotational speeds available on the DV-E Viscometer. These speeds correspond to the
standard LVF, LVT, RVF, RVT, HAT and HBT Dial Viscometers models and they are combined
sequentially. See Table 1 below.

Setting the SPEED/SPINDLE switch in the left position will allow the operator to adjust the speed
selection. The SELECT knob can be rotated until the desired speed is selected. Once the desired
speed is shown on the display, set the SPINDLE/SPEED switch to the middle position.
The viscometer will rotate the spindle at the selected speed when the motor switch is in the ON
position. A motor on condition is indicated on the display by RPM shown beside the speed. When
the motor switch is in the OFF position, OFF will be displayed beside the speed.
