This manual intended for use with CAP 1000+ series viscometers which have serial numbers beginning with a prex of “CPN”.
CAP1000 and 2000 Viscometers with a serial number prex of “CP” require a different manual. Please contact Brookeld or your authorized dealer/representative to obtain this manual.

I. INTRODUCTION
The CAP 1000+ Series Viscometers are high shear rate instruments with Cone Plate geometry
and integrated temperature control of the test sample material. Rotational speeds include 750
RPM and 900 RPM. Viscosity measurement ranges depend upon the cone spindle and the rotational speed (shear rate). Viscosity is selectively displayed in units of centipoise (cP), poise
(P), milliPascal seconds (mPa•s) or Pascal seconds (Pa•s). Temperature control of sample is
possible between either 5°C (or 15°C below ambient, whichever is higher) and 75°C or 50°C
and 235°C depending on viscometer model.
The CAP 1000+ can also be ordered with a single, customized speed between 5 and 1000 rpm.
In this case, the CAP 1000+ can offer, when necessary, low shear rate capability.
The CAP 1000+ Viscometer can display either CGS or SI units:
CGS SI Comment
Viscosity: P or cP Pa•s or mPa•s 0.1 Pa•s = 1 P (= 100 cP)
Shear Rate: Sec
Speed: RPM RPM
Temperature: °C °C
The CAP 1000+ Viscometer outputs data to a parallel printer in the CGS and SI units:

Operating CAP 1000+ Viscometers must be operated within the following
Environment: ambient temperatures: +5°C (41°F) to 40°C (104°F)
and humidity: 20% to 80% R.H. (non-condensing atmosphere)
I.4 Installation
Note: DO NOT lift the viscometer by the handle or head! LIFT only by the base console or
column!
1) Set the viscometer on a clean level bench surface.
2) Remove shipping foam insert from the plate area on the CAP Viscometer. Store the
foam insert for future use when shipping or transporting CAP Viscometer.

3) Verify that the viscometer’s power requirements match your power source BEFORE connecting it to power.
The AC input voltage and frequency must be within the appropriate range as shown on
the back of the viscometer head .
Note: The CAP Viscometer must be earth grounded. Use the three (3) wire power cord! Do
not alter!
4) Connect the power cord to the viscometer and to the power supply (source).
5) If using a printer, connect the printer cable to the printer port and printer.
Note: Ensure that both the printer and the CAP 1000+ are off when connecting cables.
I.5 Safety Symbols and Precautions
Safety Symbols
The following explains safety symbols which may be found in this operating manual.
Indicates hazardous voltages may be present.
Caution: HOT surface.
Refer to the manual for specic warning or caution information to avoid personal injury
or damage to the instrument.
Safety Overview
If this instrument is used in a manner not specied by the manufacturer, the protection
provided by the instrument may be impaired.

I.6 Key Functions
Figure I-3 shows the control keys on the face of the viscometer display panel:
NUMERIC 0 - 9
These keys are used for data entry
ENTER
This key accepts entered data.
STOP / ESCAPE
Stops cone spindle rotation at any time. Exits data
entry eld.
DELETE
This key clears entered values for input selec-
tions.
PRINT
This key sends data to the parallel printer, when
connected.
RUN
This key starts spindle rotation.
RUN TIME
This key selects time entry mode (time of spindle
rotation).
HOLD TIME
This key selects time entry mode (wait time be-
fore spindle rotates).
SPINDLE
This key selects the cone spindle entry mode.
TEMP
This key selects the temperature entry mode.
I.7 Viscosity and Temperature Display
Viscosity is displayed in either P=Poise or cP=Centipoise (CGS system) or Pa•s=Pascal seconds or
mPa•s=milliPascal seconds (SI system). If the viscosity measurement is over range,
“EEEE” will be displayed. Brookeld recommends a minimum torque reading of 10% when
making viscosity measurements. If the torque value is between 0 and 10%, the display will
ash to indicate an under range condition. If the viscometer nal reading is below zero, negative values will be displayed.
Figure I-3
Temperature is displayed in °C=degrees centigrade.
