with the reference with the desired tolerance.
Changing the temperature calibration by more than 0.05°C will affect
the instrument viscosity calibration by 2% or more. Please consult
CANNON ® before proceeding.
It is recommended that the instrument temperature be at target for at least
30 minutes before recalibrating if the instrument has been powered down
for more than a couple of hours. This will ensure proper calibration as it
may take some time for the entire instrument to come to proper thermal
equilibration from a cold start.
Changing Date and Time
End users may need to change the date and
time displayed on the instrument. This may
be accomplished by just tapping once on the
Date/Time field at the bottom of the Warm
up Screen or the Ready to Test Screen.
These fields are soft buttons which will access
Date and Time Screen. This screen
provides list boxes to set the Year, Month, Day
of Month, Hour and Minute.
Discretionary Washing
Tube washing is normally performed after a
test is completed, but there may be other times
when the tube needs washing. For example, if
the user injects oil into the tube and the sensors
do not detect it for some reason. In cases
such as this, the wash cycle may be started
by tapping the “Please Wait” caption field in
the Warm up Screen or the “Ready to Test”
caption field in Ready to Test Screen or
the “Timing Started” caption field in Timing
Screen three times within 2 seconds. This will
cause the display to switch to Wash Screen
and start a normal wash cycle.
