1) Assemble the Model S Laboratory Stand (refer to assembly instructions in Appendix H).
2) Put the viscometer on the stand.
3) Connect the RTD probe to the socket on the rear panel of the DV-II + .
4) The Viscometer must be leveled. The level is adjusted using the two leveling screws on the
base. Adjust so that the bubble level on top of the DV-II + is centered within the circle.
Note: Check level periodically during use.
5) Remove the white shipping cap which secures lower coupling nut on Viscometer to pivot
cup.
6) Make sure that the AC power switch at the rear of the DV-II + is in the OFF position.
Connect the power cord to the socket on the back panel of the instrument and plug it into
the appropriate AC line.
The AC input voltage and frequency must be within the appropriate range as shown on the
nameplate of the viscometer.
Note: The DV-II+ must be earth grounded to ensure against electronic failure!!
7) Turn the power switch to the ON position and allow to warm up for 10 minutes before
performing autozero.
8) For Cone/Plate models, refer to Appendix A.
9) If appropriate, connect interconnecting cable to serial port for connection of DV-II+ to PC
or printer.
10) If appropriate, connect interconnecting cable to parallel port for connection of DV-II+ to
printer.
11) If appropriate, connect interconnecting cable to analog (serial) port for connection of DV-
II+ to chart recorder.
