AutoZero: AutoZero is an operation performed by the DV2T Viscometerautomatically

duringthepowerupsequence.Thisoperationsetstheinstrumenttransducer

toacorrectzerovalue.Thezerovalueshouldnotshiftovertime,however,

Oscillation Check: The Oscillation Check is a check of the performance of the lower

bearingoftheDV2TViscometer.ThislowerbearingiseitherPoint

andJewelorBallBearing.Correctperformanceofthelowerbearing

is essential for proper operation of the viscometer. A failed lower

bearingwillnormallycauseviscositymeasurementstobelowerthan

expected.

AnOscillationCheckisperformedasfollows:

• RemovethespindleandleveltheDV2TViscometer

• Gentlypushupontheviscometercoupling.

• Turnthecouplinguntilthe%Torquereadingis10–15%.

• Gentlyletgoofthecoupling.

• Watchthereading.The%Torquereadingshoulddecrease

smoothlyandoscillateabout0.0%.
