I.4 Installation
Note: “IQ, OQ, PQ”, an abbreviated guideline document for installation, operation and
performance validation for your DV3T digital rheometer, can be downloaded from
our website www.brookfieldengineering.com. A more detailed IQ, OQ, PQ procedure
is available for purchase from Brookfield or your authorized dealer.
1) Assemble the Model G Laboratory Stand (refer to assembly instructions in Appendix H).
2) Put the rheometer on the stand.
3) Connect the RTD probe to the socket on the rear panel of the DV3T.
4) The Rheometer must be leveled. The level is adjusted using the two leveling screws on the
base. Adjust so that the bubble level on the front of the DV3T is centered within the circle.
Note: Check level periodically during use.
5) Remove the shipping cap which secures the coupling nut on the Rheometer to the pivot
cup. For Cone/Plate Models, hold the Sample Cup and swing the tension bar away
from the bottom of the cup. Lower the cup and remove the foam insert. (Save for future
shipments.)
6) Make sure that the AC power switch at the rear of the DV3T is in the OFF position.
Connect the power cord to the socket on the back panel of the instrument and plug it into
the appropriate AC line. For Cone/Plate Models, be sure that the toggle switch, used to
activate the electronic gap, is to the left position. (Left when facing the rheometer.)
The AC input voltage and frequency must be within the appropriate range as shown on
the nameplate of the rheometer. (See Section I.2.)
