V.2 Print
1. Change the time interval that is used when the DV-III Ultra is printing continuously. Data is
entered in the format of MM:SS. For example: an interval of one minute and 30 seconds is
entered as: 01:30.
The change is initiated by pressing the 1 key. Once the time interval is input, it must be accepted
by pressing the ENTER key.
2. Change the port to be used for printing, parallel or serial.
The change is selected by first pressing the 2 key and then the appropriate key for the printing
method. The change will be indicated by the position of the arrow on the right side of the display.
The change is accepted by pressing the
ENTER
key.
When selecting serial printing, the DV-III Ultra will also ask for handshaking status. Please see
the instruction manual of the printer for specification.
If the DV-III Ultra is communicating with an external temperature controller, serial printing
will not be available (the controller uses the serial port).
3. Enter the date and time to be shown on printed data tables. Data is entered in the format of
DD/MM/YY for date and HH:MM for time (24-hour clock). For example: 2:30 pm on January
15, 1999 is entered as 15/01/99, 14:30.
The change is initiated by pressing the 3 key. Once the data is input, it must be accepted by
pressing the
ENTER
key.
V.3 Alarm
There are three adjustable alarm settings: LO ALARM %, HI ALARM % and MOTOR OFF %.
The values are set in the Set Alarms mode. Alarms are used to signal the operator that the fluid is
out of the input specification. The alarms are set in % torque values, not Viscosity, Shear Stress
or Shear Rate values. The range of values which may be entered for each alarm and their default
values are:
LO ALARM HI ALARM MOTOR OFF
Minimum value: 10% Minimum value: 0% Minimum value: 0%
Maximum value: 99.9% Maximum value: 100% Maximum value: 115%
Default value: 10% Default value: 99.9% Default value: 110%
The procedure for entering and enabling alarm values is as follows starting from the main screen:
1) Press the OPTION/TAB key to display the Options Menu.
2) Press the NUMBER 3 key to display the Alarms Options screen.
3) Press the
NUMBER 1
key to View/Set Alarms.
4) Enter the LO ALARM % torque value. The new entry will overwrite the default values.
