LOCKOUT OPTIONS
Pressing the “1” key locks out any use of the NUMERIC keys, and the PROGRAM , SELECT
SPINDLE and OPTIONS/TAB keys. Pressing the “3” key would disable an existing lockout condition
only when in the LOCKOUT OPTIONS screen, Figure 36. After pressing the “1” or “3” keys the
user would be returned to the display of Figure 34. From Figure 34 the user runs the program by
pressing the
PROGRAM RUN key which signifies that the user is satisfied with his start and stop step
values, and wishes to start running with the selected speed set. Or, he can return to the default screen
of Figure 7 by pressing the
MOTOR ON/OFF/ESCAPE key. (Note: the OPTIONS/TAB key is re-
enabled at this point only to allow the user to return to the LOCKOUT OPTIONS screen). In either
case, if the user has enabled the lockout mode, the top line of the default display will change as shown
in Figure 37 below:

The “LOCKOUT” condition will remain in effect until the user re-starts the program mode by
pressing the
PROGRAM RUN key re-initiating the steps of Figures 34 through 37 above.
Once the start and end steps have been selected, the program is started by pressing the PROG RUN
key. However, if the viscometer motor was not turned on, the following message would be
displayed:
Figure 38
At this point, the user would turn the viscometer motor on by pressing the MOTOR ON/OFF/
ESCAPE key. This will cause the viscometer to start running at the first selected program speed.
