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).
