IV.4 Maintenance
The R/S Rheometer system is designed for long-term operation. Should the instrument require
repair, contact Brookfield or your authorized Brookfield dealer.
Only authorized service personnel may work on the control electronics,
all accessories, the meauring device, as well as the AC Adapter and all
electric circuits and connections!
Measurement accuracy can be checked by the user at any time. We recommend that the measure-
ments be done with Brookfield viscosity standard fluids (mineral oils) as recommended for each
individual spindle geometry.
You must:
• Use temperature control
• Select the appropriate measuring system
• Carry out measurements at the following pre-set M (‰ torque) values: 250‰, 500‰ and
750‰
• Read viscosity values from the display on the RS-CPS+
In case of instrument failure (or severe deviation from the mineral oil viscosity value), contact
Brookfield or your authorized Brookfield dealer.
