Enhanced Display and Added Features in New Readout Unit for Hydramotion Viscometers

The VP550 has a clear, easy-to-read display showing measured viscosity and viscosity corrected to a user-defined reference temperature. User-friendly intuitive software offers rapid access to any function or parameter for configuring or updating the system. Menu navigation is quick and easy using the simple-to-operate keypad. No programming is required.

The unit can accept a range of inputs, including temperature, which can be shown in either Celsius (°C) or Fahrenheit (°F). The user can select from a range of standard viscosity units including centipoise (cP), pascal-seconds (Pa·s) or centistokes (cSt) as desired. Conversion to other units is also possible.

Designed for all applications, the VP550 unit is ingress protected to IP68, making it particularly suitable for installation in industrial environments. There are three user-selectable 4-20mA analogue outputs, all fully configurable, as well as an RS485 serial data link for remote viscosity monitoring and control. The optional USB output facilitates direct connection to a PC or laptop.

Simple to hook up and use, the VP550 provide a highly readable interface for any Hydramotion transducer. The resulting combination is a viscosity measurement system that is robust, reliable, quick to configure and easy to operate.
