PAC Cambridge Viscosity - Model VISCOpro 1600 - Digital Viscometer - Brochure

™State-of-the-art viscosity monitoringThe State-of-the-Art in Viscosity MonitoringThe VISCOpro 1600 viscometer is a compact workhorse instrument for applications where minimal operator involvement is desired. It features built-in optional LCD display with readout in centipoise, cSt, or SSU for monitoring of critical fluid conditions. It also can be connected to a PLC controller for seamless integration into a proprietary data management system. The unit’s sensor and electronics are encased in an explosion-proof housing for durability and reliability. Thanks to Cambridge Viscosity’s patented technology, only a very small amount of fluid (1 ml) is required to assure an accurate reading. Because of the small sample size and its automatic operation, the VISCOpro 1600 helps to maximize the efficiency of your process line and minimize waste. In addition, it works with any Cambridge Viscosity in-tank or in-line 300 series or 500 series sensor, giving you the flexibility to choose from a range of high-quality, maintenance-free options.In process environments, ensuring proper viscosity is a key success factor. You need an accurate, reliable, and durable in-line viscometer capable of monitoring fluid resistance without requiring a lot of operator involvement or maintenance.You need the Cambridge Viscosity VISCOpro1600 viscometer. Used alone or in a multi-channel configuration controlled by a touch-screen display, the VISCOpro1600 provides round-the-clock monitoring you can rely on.Diagram 1 (above) depicts an in-line installation of a VISCOpro 1600 with an SPC 311 sensor. Its flexible design allows it to be installed in any position. Demonstrating the viscometer’s flexibility, diagram 2 (above right) depicts an in-tank installation of a VISCOpro 1600 with an SPC 321 sensor. Optional DisplayThe optional explosion-proof display (right) clearly shows viscosity and temperature readings for each line or tank.Key features and benefitsInnovatively designed, the VISCOpro 1600 has a lot to offer. Among its key features and benefits are:Automatic self-cleaningWith only one moving part, a piston, the VISCOpro 1600 is almost completely maintenance-free. Samples are automatically kept fresh and clean by the constant piston motion that scrubs the sensor chamber. This assures maximum uptime and high return on investment.Standard outputs for data captureThe VISCOpro 1600 includes two 4-20mA outputs for remote recording to data acquisition and control systems. This makes it easy to interface the unit with Cambridge Viscosity or third-party PLC systems.Factory settings No programming is needed – Cambridge Viscosity did it all for you so you can just install it and begin operation quickly. The VISCOpro 1600 can be set to measure viscosity in centipoises, cSt, or SSU.Built-in temperature detectorChanges in temperature within the process line can affect the viscosity of the fluid. The VISCOpro 1600 has a built-in temperature detector that senses the actual running temperature of the fluid.· Continuous monitoring of viscosity, and temperature· Two 4-20mA outputs for remote recording· Two analog outputs and RS485 communication· Compact, explosion-proof system· Automatic self-cleaning· Readout in centipoises, cSt, or SSU· Optional LCD displayVISCOpro1600 FeaturesPower in / Data outCompatible In-Line Sensors301Ideal where threaded connections are desired, the 301 sensor mates directly to a tee or pipe with standard 1.25” NPT ends. Recommended for line sizes < 2”.Compatible Viscosity Sensors311Appropriate for most applications, the 311 sensor has a quick-disconnect flange for fast, tool-less removal. Recommended for line sizes < 2”.372The 372 sensor installs directly into small-diameter process lines using 1/4” NPT fittings. Available with removable jacket.374The new 374 sensor incorporates an integral heater and ½” sanitary process connections making it the ideal choice for a wide range of biopharmaceutical and R&D applications.392Designed with a rugged, four-bolt stainless steel flange, the 392 sensor fits easily to any pipe line size over 1.5”.501Along with the 571, the 501 sensor is used extensively in compressor, on-engine & hydraulic applications. Sensor connects via ½” NPT threads and 90° push-pull connector allows for low clearance installations.571Small yet reliable, the 571 sensor is used for compressor, used oil analysis, on-engine, and hydraulic fluid applications. Designed to fit into 13/16 UNEF threaded ports.Compatible In-Tank Sensors321The 321 sensor can be fitted to any pipe configuration without welding. The sensor’s head is attached to its stem at a 90-degree angle.322Typically used in permanent in-tank mounted applications, the 322 sensor’s head it attached to its stem at a 45-degree angle.VISCOpro System Specification Comparison ViscoPro1600 ViscoPro2000 ViscoPro8000Measurement Principle: Electromagnetic Electromagnetic ElectromagneticRepeatability: ± .8% Reading ± .8% Reading ± .8% ReadingViscosity Range: 0.2-20,000cP 0.2-20,000cP 0.2-20,000cPMax Pressure Ratings: 1,000 psi 1,000 psi 1,000 psiSelf Clean/Recovery: Automatic Automatic AutomaticContinuous Analysis: Yes Yes w/logging Yes w/graphingViscosity Units: cP; cSt; cup sec; SSU cP; cSt; cup sec; SSU User Selectable User SelectableTemp: °C or °F: °C or °F Factory Set °C or °F Selectable User SelectableSensor Temperature Range: -40°C to 190°C -40°C to 190°C -40°C to 190°C Analog Outputs: 4-20mA (2) 4-20mA (4) 4-20mA (1) User SelectableDigital Communications: RS485 RS485/RS232 RS232, TCP/IPInput power: 12VDC 100-240 VAC/12-36 VDC 100-240 VACRemote Trouble: Yes Yes YesTemperature Compensated Viscosity: No Available Available(TCV)Profibus, Modbus Yes, Optional Yes, Optional Yes, OptionalCompatible:Temp/Viscosity Control: No PI PI Alarm Output: Yes Yes YesScreen: LCD Optional Menu Driven LCD Touchscreen- PC Optional MultichannelFM, CE, ATEX Class 1, Standard Optional OptionalDiv 1, Group C&DVISCOpro 1600 Rev 03/2012The Leader in Small Sample Viscosity SM101 Station Landing, Medford, MA 02155 USA T: 781.393.6500 · F: 781.393.6515info@cambridgeviscosity.com www.cambridgeviscosity.comWith more than 8,000 installations worldwide, Cambridge Viscosity is the proven leader in viscosity management technology.
