Min. bulb 1 selection time(s):
Adjust this setting to select the desired minimum time permitted for
selection of bulb 1 or bulb 2 for sample testing. Acceptable values are
between 0 and 20 seconds. Decreasing the setting will increase the
probability that the sample will be tested in bulb 1.
Maximum bulb empty time(s):
Adjust this setting to select the maximum amount of time for the oil to
drop between the target tube sensor and the bottom tube sensor during a
sample determination before the sample test is aborted. Acceptable values
are between 90 and 600 seconds.
Maximum tube empty time %:
Adjust this setting to select the percentage of the drop time between the
bottom sensor and the sensor at the top of bulb 1. The default value is
100%.
Pull Sample Pulse On Time
Adjust this setting to help eliminate bubbles that can occasionally be
formed as the vacuum draws some types of samples into the viscometer
tube. The pulse value is a percentage of time that the sample will be
drawn up into the tube during each five-second interval of the draw
period. A setting of 100% (default setting) will not pulse the sample. A
setting of 20 would pull the sample for one second in each five-second
interval. Sample pulsing should only be used if it is found to alleviate
bubbling during the sample draw period.
Vent Bulb Drain Time
Adjust this setting such that the vent bulb and vent are cleared of sample
before the sample menious drops to the top sensor. Acceptable values are
between 0 and 250 seconds.
