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.
