To remove the measuring system after the measurement first open the measuring bob coupling and
then unscrew the measuring cup screw of temperature control device.
Attention: If you have carried out measurements at higher or very low
temperatures please take care: Some accessible surfaces can become
very hot or cold. Before removing measuring system please wait till the
system-surface-temperature equalized to nearly room temperature and
allows you to touch the system without danger.
When unscrewing the measuring cup, you must hold the measuring
system tightly with one hand! Due to its own weight measuring system
would fall downwards.
In case of one-way measuring cups eject the one-way measuring cup with the measuring cup ejector.
Clean the measuring bob carefully, do not use hard objects, always prevent scratches!
Store measuring bobs on a soft pad.
V.4 Measurement with cone/plate and plate/plate measuring systems
Insert and adjustment of the measuring cone or measuring plate
To install the measuring bob the bayonet lock must be released (position “opened”) and the lower
measuring plate must be displaced down. Caution: during release of the bayonet lock the measuring
device has to be hold tight at height adjustment ring.
Lift the coupling sleeve of the measuring bob coupling (ring visible). Insert the measuring bob (cone or
plate) from below into measuring coupling. Move down the coupling sleeve of the measuring bob
coupling (ring covered).
Loosen the inner hexagon screw at measuring bob shaft.
Press measuring plate upward again and close bayonet lock (position “closed”).
Loosen scale clamp screw at height adjustment ring.
The upper marker (“0”) and the lower red marker (red mark) are brought into coincidence rotating the
height adjustment ring (=0-/red position, see picture).
