VII. Measurements
VII.1 Measuring in Manual Mode
You can measure in manual mode by following these brief instructions:
Install the R/S+ Rheometer on the stand (see Section III).
Connect the AC adapter (see Section III).
Connect the printer, which is optional (see Section III).
Attach the measuring system, load the sample (see Section V).
Make sure no substance or solvent enters the measuring element coupling, the measuring
drive or the electronic unit.
Wait until the sample reaches the desired temperature.
Start a Single Point Test or a Program Measurement (see Section VI).
After running the test, switch off the temperature control. If necessary, wait until the sample
returns to a safe handling temperature.
Remove the sample and clean the measuring system.
VII.2 Measuring with Water Jacket
Install the R/S+ Rheometer on the stand (see Section III).
Connect the AC adapter (see Section III).
Connect the printer if necessary (see Section III).
Mount the water jacket and connect, if desired, the built-in Pt100 temperature probe (see
Section III).
Fill and mount the measuring system (see Section V).
Set the temperature control, if desired, and wait for the attainment of the desired temperature
in the measuring substance.
Start a program or a single measurement (see Section VI).
After running the test, switch off the temperature control. If necessary, wait until the sample
returns to a safe handling temperature.
Remove and clean the measuring system.
VII.3 Measurement with Cone/Plate Attachment
Setup the R/S+ Rheometer (see Section III).
Connect the AC Adapter (see Section III).
Connect, if necessary, the printer (see Section III).
Mount the “Cone/Plate Attachment” and connect the built-in PT100 temperature probe (see
Section III).
Place the sample on the plate of the measuring system (see Section V).
Set the temperature control, if desired, and wait for the attainment of the desired temperature
in the measuring substance.
Start a program or a single measurement (see Section VI).
After running the test, switch off the temperature control. If necessary, wait until the sample
returns to a safe handling temperature.
Remove and clean the measuring system.
