Troubleshooting
Check whether the Basic Measuring Device is switched on.
Trouble
Air bubbles in viscometer
Excessive pumping of
measuring medium into the
thermostat bath or into the
safety bottle:
ViscoPump III blinks
(twice, continuously) and
the sample in the viscometer
is not pumped
Problems with the
controlling or
serial interface
Trouble shooting
Is the filling quantity sufficient?
Check, fill viscometer if required.
Is the viscometer of properly connected?
- in the case of pressing mode, please checked whether the filling
tube is connected; if necessary connect properly.
- for operation in suction mode, please check whether the
capillary tube is connected; if necessary, connect properly.
please check whether the venting port is tightly connected; if
necessary re-tighten its screwed connection.
Is the viscometer properly connected?
- for operation in pressing/suction mode?
When using AVS measuring tripods
Check the electrical connections between the measuring tripod and the module of
the visco pump.
- Correct: the green LED on the measuring tripod is illuminated.
When using TC viskometers:
Is the viscometer properly connected?
Check the electrical connections between the measuring tripod
and the module of the visco pump.
- Correct: the green LED on the measuring tripod is illuminated.
Attention
With a simultaneous use of ViscoPump III (VP III) and the precursor
devices ViscoPump (VZ 7001/ VZ 7002,VP I) and ViscoPump II (VZ 8511/
VZ 8512, VP II) at a viscosity measurement system with several
measurement positions (AVS
observed for the installation:
The VP III must be used on measurement positions following the
VP I /VP II.
Correspondingly, the VP III must be installed in the inserts to the right
of the precursor devices!
Transfer errors will occur in the RS communication with a wrong
sequence of the ViscoPump modules!
(With all further connected devices with serial communication (e.g. burettes
for rinsing the viscosity meters) the following must be adjusted as
communication parameter:
