II.4.3 Mounting the Workplate RST-SST
This step is required only if you intend to use the workplate of the RST-SST. To mount it, proceed as
follows:
• Place the workplate into the upper or lower seat by pushing it in laterally until it stops.
• Screw the work plate to the stand finger-tight using the two spigot nuts.
• Put the sliding blocks with the threaded rods through the slots in the work plate from below. Make
sure that the groove of the sliding block fits into the slot.
• Use the thumb wheel to screw the fastening claw down finger-tight.
• For each slot you will need 1 fastening claw, 1 sliding block with threaded rod and 1 thumb wheel.
II.4.4 Electrical Connections RST-CC and RST-SST
Connections for the electrical components of the RST Rheometer are located on the back of the
instrument.

Caution!
Connecting the measuring instrument
Connect or disconnect any cables from and to the RST Rheometer only with the instrument
turned off.
II.4.5 RST-CC and RST-SST Assembly for Additional Devices
This section describes assembly and connection of the following measuring systems:
• FTK temperature-control device (water jacket) for use of cylinder measuring systems in the
temperature range of -10°C...+90°C (temperature control by liquid thermostat)
• ME3-CP/PP measuring device for cone/plate and plate/plate measuring systems in the
temperature range of -10°C...+90°C (temperature control by liquid thermostat)
• KE cooling device in connection with FTK temperature-control device (water jacket) or ME3-
CP/PP measuring device for extension of temperature range to -20°C...+180°C
