GETTING STARTED

Press the on switch on the AC/DC

adapter. The Warm up Screen will

display a “PLEASE WAIT” message.

During this time, the instrument will

seek the preset target temperature

(40 or 100°C) and when reached, the

instrument will enter an equilibration

period. The equilibration period is 180

seconds.

Note: Refer to the Basic Information

section under Select Target

Temperature for instructions on how

to select the target temperature.

Once the temperature has equilibrated

and the instrument is ready for

measurement, the run status indicator

lamps on front of instrument will

illuminate and the user will be prompted

to inject the sample on the Ready to

Test Screen.

Check the volume of the solvent

container at the beginning of every

work shift to avoid inadequate

washing during testing.

Check the volume of the Waste Bottle

frequently to avoid spillage/overﬂow. Empty the waste bottle when the

volume reaches the 400 mL line marked on the bottle. Refer to the Basic

Maintenance portion of this guide for more information.

Running a Test

Injecting a sample

1. Using the supplied piston

operated pipettor, insert the tip

into a vial of test sample and

pull the measured amount

into the pipettor. Be sure no

bubbles exist in the oil or

results may be erratic. Refer

to pipettor instruction guide

for more information. The

pipettor volume setting should

be set to 450 ~ 500 μL

(0.45 - 0.50mL)

2. Place the pipettor at a 45°

angle into the sample/ solvent

injection port, located on

top of the instrument, and gently release the fluid in one easy operation

so that the entire sample is smoothly dispensed into the tube without

introducing bubbles.

The Ready to Test Screen contains a START button. Pressing the button is

optional as the injected sample will automatically be detected. The button is

useful for higher viscosity fluids that might take a while to trip the top sensor.

The run status indicator lamp will turn off during testing. When the viscosity

measurement is complete, the run status indicator lamp will blink and the

viscosity result will be displayed.

Running a Test

Print the results (only if

optional printer is installed)

1. Press the Print button on the

display screen to printout the test

results to an attached serial printer

(optional accessory).

2. You may skip the print option and

go directly to the wash cycle. See

the next section.

Wash Cycle

1. Place the tip of the solvent bottle

along the opening of the glass

capillary in the sample/solvent port and gently squeeze until the cup is

filled with solvent to clean any oil residue that might be left over from

injecting the previous sample.

Be careful to consider bath temperature (s) and potential solvent

hazards when selecting solvents for use with the SimpleVIS®Viscometer.

Observe appropriate safety precautions when handling solvents.

Note: Heptane (technical grade) is compatible with the

SimpleVIS®Viscometer.

2. Press the Wash button on the display screen to start the wash cycle.

3. Wait for the solvent in the cup to be drawn down the tube.

4. Place the tip of the solvent bottle directly into the glass capillary for

approximately one second (no need to squeeze the bottle, the pump

will pull the solvent in) and then remove for several seconds to allow the

solvent to be drawn through the viscometer tube to the waste bottle. The

display screen will prompt the user when to inject and remove the solvent

bottle. Repeat this step until the display screen alerts the user to press the

Dry button to start the dry run cycle.

Dry Cycle

Press the Dry button on the display wash screen to start the dry run cycle. The

display will show the time remaining in the dry cycle.

When the dry cycle time ends, the pump will turn off and the instrument will

return to the Warm up Screen for a period of 60 seconds. The instrument

will then be ready to run a new sample measurement at the leisure of the

operator.

Run Status Indicator

Run Status Indicator lamps on front of the instrument allow users to see

from a distance whether the instrument is ready to accept a sample. When

the instrument is ready to accept a sample, the lamps will be lit. During the

viscosity measurement, the indicator lamps will be off. The indicator lamps

will blink at the conclusion of a new test or if an instrument error occurs.

Running a Test

Dry ScreenWash Screen

The SimpleVIS®Viscometer was designed to require minimal maintenance

through simplicity of design and built-in electronic diagnostics. All new

instruments are shipped with factory calibrations. However, like most

metrological equipment, periodic maintenance and calibration is critical

to maintaining accurate long-term measurements. CANNON®Instrument

Company recommends the following intervals for maintaining the proper and

accurate operation of the SimpleVIS®Viscometer.

Basic Maintenance

The main chassis of the SimpleVIS®Viscometer does not contain any

user-serviceable parts and should be returned to the manufacturer (or an

authorized dealer service center) for repair when required. Basic instrument

maintenance should be carried out weekly or each time the effluent waste

bottle is emptied.

Cleaning the Viscometer Tube

To clean the viscometer tube simply start a wash cycle by tapping the “Ready

to Test” caption field in the Ready to Test Screen three times within two

seconds. This will cause the display to switch to the Wash Screen and start a

normal wash. See discretionary washing on page 12.

Changing the Tip on the Pipettor

Refer to the pipette manual for detailed information on using the device. The

tips can be wiped off after each test and reused. Use a clean dry paper towel

to wipe the tip off.

Cleaning the Display Screen

Turn off the SimpleVIS®Viscometer. Wet a soft, lint-free or micro fiber cloth

with clean or distilled water. Wring out as much water as possible to ensure

the cloth is damp but not wet. Wipe the screen in a gentle motion to remove

dust, oil, or fingerprint smudges. Finish cleaning the touch screen with a dry

lint-free cloth to wipe any excess moisture, and then turn the instrument back

on.

Maintenance & Calibration

Emptying the Waste Bottle Receiver

Check the volume of the Waste Bottle frequently to avoid spillage/overflow.

Disconnect the Waste Bottle from the cap containing the drain lines.

Use appropriate precautions when handling the waste lines. Avoid

spilling or splashing waste material collected in the lines. Check for

kinks or wear in the lines. Always follow appropriate MSDS procedures

when handling samples/solvents.

Pour the collected solvent/sample mixture out of the Waste Bottle into a

proper hazardous liquid waste storage container. Securely reconnect the cap

with drain tubes to the Waste Bottle ensuring the lines are properly inserted.

(Refer to the Basic Information section of this guide for more information on

tubing connection)

Waste sample/solvents can present possible environmental and

health hazards. Dispose of all waste materials in accordance with all

applicable governmental environmental and safety regulations.

Cleaning the Tray that Houses the Waste Receiver

Use a clean dry paper towel to wipe the tray to remove any spillage of

solvent/sample. Dispose of the paper towel appropriately.

Changing Temperature

Change the temperature by tapping the temperature directly under the

“Seeking Target Temperature” caption field in the Warm Up Screen three

times within two seconds.

Calibration

The frequency of instrument calibration is dependent on the usage of the

instrument (number of samples tested monthly), the environment in which the

instrument is located, the type and cleanliness of the samples, and whether

basic maintenance has been properly carried out. CANNON®recommends
