Installation:
miniAV-LT setup can be accomplished in just a few minutes by
following the instructions in the installation guide provided with the
instrument.
NOTE: Once the machine and Viscpro II have successfully been
installed, a calibration must be performed at the wash
temperature (30°C) and each temperature at which the user
wishes to run samples.
Preparing the miniAV-LT for testing:
Calibrating the miniAV-LT:
Temperature calibration is essential for the proper operation of the
miniAV-LT after installation. The calibration process consists of
sending a temperature and its offset to the instrument, then waiting
for the temperature to equilibrate. Equilibration is complete when
the instrument stays within 0.02°C for 150 seconds. To calibrate
temperature on the miniAV-LT, follow the instructions below:
NOTE:
Depending on security level settings, it may be necessary for
you to log in as a manager to complete the calibration.
1. Click

6. Click
Go to Calibration Temperature button to set the target temperature
of the machine to the desired temperature to calibrate (if not the wash
temperature)
NOTE: The miniAV-LT must always be calibrated at 30°C because that
is the wash/idle temperature at which the instrument will
spend most of its time
7.
Place your reference thermometer inside the bath
