II. GETTING STARTED
II.1 Power ON
Turn the power ON using the switch located on the rear of the base console.
The display will sequentially show BROOKFIELD, then the model of the viscometer and the
version number. After about four seconds, the main screen will be displayed (Figure II-1).

The instrument will be set to the default temperature.
CAP L Series Viscometer 25.0°C
CAP H Series Viscometer 50.0°C
Special Functions
Units of measure and speed of rotation may be selected through the
special functions screen.
This screen is accessed by pressing the STOP key during instrument power up.
The CAP 1000+ can be congured to operate at 750 RPM or 900 RPM. This selection is set
by choosing 1=SPEED in the
special functions screen, then selecting 1=750 RPM or 2=900
RPM and pressing ENTER.
The CAP 1000+ can be congured to display viscosity in one of four units:
Poise (P), Cen-
tipoise (cP), Pascal Seconds (Pa•s) or milliPascal seconds (mPa•s). This selection is set by
choosing 2=U in the
special functions screen, selecting 1=P, 2=cP, 3=Pa•s, or 4=mPa•s, and
then pressing
ENTER.
Once the CAP 1000+ has been congured, the instrument must be turned OFF. The congura-
tion will be stored in memory.
II.2 Cone Spindle Selection and Setting
Raise the viscometer handle to its highest position.
The CAP cones have viscosity ranges as shown in Appendix A. After selecting the appropri-
ate cone for the viscosity range to be utilized, carefully attach the cone to the viscometer as
shown in Figure II-2.
Be sure to insert the spindle completely into the adapter sleeve; align the at (see Figure I-1)
on the spindle with the thumb screw and then tighten.
