1. Sarrera
This instruction manual provides detailed guidance for the proper use and maintenance of the CNYST Digital Viscometer, Model NDJ-8S. This instrument is an advanced rotational viscometer designed for precise and reliable measurement of absolute viscosity for Newtonian fluids and apparent viscosity for non-Newtonian fluids. Its straightforward operation and functional design make it a suitable instrument for various applications, including the measurement of viscosity in oils, paints, plastics, food products, coatings, and detergents. The NDJ-8S model features a 4-digit LCD display with a blue backlight and comes equipped with four rotors (#1, #2, #3, #4). It offers four selectable speeds (6, 12, 30, 60 RPM), allowing for 16 different combinations to accurately determine the viscosity of liquids within its measurement range of 1 to 100,000 mPa.s.
2. Segurtasun-neurriak
- Always operate the viscometer on a stable, level surface to ensure accurate readings.
- Ensure the power supply matches the instrument's requirements (AC220V±10%, 50Hz±10% or 110V as per regional voltageta).
- Avoid exposing the instrument to extreme temperatures or humidity. Operate within 5°C to 35°C and relative humidity below 80%.
- Handle rotors with care to prevent bending or damage, which can affect measurement accuracy.
- Do not immerse the main unit in liquid. Clean with a soft, dry cloth.
- Keep the instrument away from strong electromagnetic fields.
- Deskonektatu korrontea garbiketa edo mantentze-lanak egin aurretik.
- Only use original or approved replacement parts and accessories.

4. Konfiguratzeko argibideak
Follow these steps to set up your CNYST Digital Viscometer:
- Despaketatzea: Carefully remove all components from the carrying case. Inspect for any damage during transit.
- Muntatu standa: Attach the lifting and lowering column to the base of the stand. Secure it firmly.
- Mount the Viscometer Unit: Slide the main viscometer unit onto the lifting and lowering column. Adjust the height and secure it using the locking knob. Ensure the unit is level using the bubble level on top of the viscometer.
- Konektatu energia: Plug the power adapter into the viscometer's power input and then into a suitable power outlet. Ensure the voltage tresnaren eskakizunekin bat dator.
- Install Protective Frame (Optional): If desired, install the protective frame around the rotor connection point.
- Select and Attach Rotor: Choose the appropriate rotor for your sample and measurement range. Carefully screw the selected rotor onto the coupling shaft at the bottom of the viscometer unit. Ensure it is securely fastened but do not overtighten.

5. Funtzionamendu-argibideak
To perform a viscosity measurement, follow these steps:
- Prestatu Sample: Pour the liquid sample into a suitable container. Ensure the sample volume is sufficient to fully immerse the rotor up to its immersion mark.
- Immerse Rotor: Carefully lower the viscometer unit using the lifting mechanism until the rotor is immersed in the sample liquid up to the designated immersion mark. Ensure no air bubbles are trapped around the rotor.
- Piztu: Turn on the power switch located on the back of the viscometer unit. The LCD display will light up, showing the welcome screen.
- Select Rotor and Speed:
- Press the "OK" button to enter the measurement settings.
- Use the arrow keys (up/down) to select the desired rotor number (#1, #2, #3, or #4).
- Use the arrow keys (left/right) to move to the speed setting.
- Use the arrow keys (up/down) to select the desired rotational speed (6, 12, 30, or 60 RPM).
- The instrument can automatically select the appropriate rotor and speed for the sample.
- Set Measurement Time (Optional): Use the arrow keys to navigate to the timer setting. Adjust the measurement duration as required. For stable readings, a minimum of 1 minute is often recommended.
- Hasi neurketa: Once the rotor, speed, and timer are set, press the "OK" button to start the measurement. The rotor will begin to rotate, and the display will show the real-time viscosity (VI) in mPa.s and torque percentage (TQ).
- Irakurri emaitzak: Wait for the reading to stabilize. The instrument features a stable reading cursor block; data will be displayed stably once the vertical cursor block is fully read. The measurement will automatically end after the set time, or you can press "RESET" to stop it manually.
- Erregistro datuak: Note down the displayed viscosity value.
- Garbiketa: After measurement, carefully lift the viscometer unit, remove the rotor, and clean both thoroughly with an appropriate solvent.

6. Mantentzea
- Garbiketa: After each use, thoroughly clean the rotors and the protective frame with a suitable solvent for the sample material. Ensure no residue remains. Wipe the main unit with a soft, dry cloth.
- Biltegiratzea: Store the viscometer and its accessories in the provided carrying case in a dry, clean, and temperature-controlled environment when not in use.
- Errotorearen zaintza: Handle rotors with extreme care. Bending or damaging them will lead to inaccurate measurements.
- Kalibrazioa: Regular calibration is recommended to maintain measurement accuracy. Refer to a qualified service technician for calibration procedures.
- Fusiblearen ordezkapena: If the instrument does not power on, check the fuse located on the back panel. Replace it with a fuse of the same rating if blown.
