VII. Measurements

VII.1 Measuring in manual mode

To carry out measurements in manual mode you can act in correspondence with the following brief

instructions:

Measurement control:

• Fasten the R/S Rheometer at stand (see Chapter 3).

• Connect the AC adaptor (see Chapter 3).

• Connect, if necessary, the printer (see Chapter 3).

• Fill and mount the standard measuring system (see Chapter 5).

Point to the fact that any substance or solvent do not ingress into measuring bob coupling,

measuring drive or electronics.

• Wait for temperature control till the attainment of the desired temperature in the measuring

substance.

• Start a program or a single measurement (see Chapter 6).

• After ending of the measurement and switching off of the temperature control wait till the

cooling/warming of the medium to room temperature.

• Remove and clean the measuring system.

Measurement with “FTK-CC”

• Fasten the R/S Rheometer at stand (see Chapter 3).

• Connect the AC adaptor (see Chapter 3).

• Connect, if necessary, the printer (see Chapter 3).

• Mount the temperature control device “FTK-CC” and connect, if desired, the built-in Pt100 (see

Chapter 3).

• Fill and mount the standard measuring system (see Chapter 5).

Point to the fact that any substance or solvent do not ingress into measuring bob coupling,

measuring drive or electronics.

• Check the presence of temperature control medium and cooling liquid (if cooling device is

used).

• Wait for temperature control till the attainment of the desired temperature in the measuring

substance.

• Start a program or a single measurement (see Chapter 6).

• After ending of the measurement and switching off of the temperature control wait till the

cooling/warming of the medium to room temperature.

• Remove and clean the measuring system.

Measurement with cone/plate measuring device “ME-CP/PP”

• Fasten the R/S Rheometer at stand (see Chapter 3).

• Connect the AC adaptor (see Chapter 3).

• Connect, if necessary, the printer (see Chapter 3).

• Mount the cone/plate measuring device “ME-CP/PP” and connect the built-in Pt100 (see

Chapter 3).

• Mount, adjust and fill the standard measuring system (see Chapter 5).
