is blinking) the two character spindle value to the right of the

character will begin to change

(in either an increasing or decreasing direction depending upon which

ARROW

key is pressed) for

each press of the key. If the

ARROW

key is pressed and held, the display will scroll through the

spindle codes for as long as the

ARROW

key is depressed. When it reaches the last item in the list

(either at the top or bottom of the list) the spindle code displayed will “roll-over” to either the

first or last spindle code and the scroll action will continue.

When the desired spindle code is displayed, release the

ARROW

key to halt further scrolling. Press

the

SELECT SPINDLE

key once again. This will cause the

character to cease blinking

and the new

spindle code will be accepted for use in viscometer calculations.

NOTE:

You have approximately three seconds in which to press the SELECT SPINDLE

key before the blinking stops. If you fail to press the SELECT SPINDLE key

before the blinking stops you will have to repeat the above steps and re-select the

desired spindle.

The DV-I PRIME will begin to calculate using the new spindle parameters as soon as the

SELECT

SPINDLE

key is pressed the second time.

NOTE:

The number 99 spindle is for use with special spindles when using Brookfield’s

WINGATHER32 computer program. Refer to WINGATHER32 operator manual

for further information on using “99” spindles.

DV-I PRIME remembers last spindle selected when power is shut down.
