Brookfield R/S CPS Rheometer - Manual (Page 50)

Brookfield Engineering Labs., Inc. Page 50 Manual No. M08-218-B0212
Cause: An impermissibly high value was measured during the zero point cali-
bration of the rheometer.
Example
Message Error #3
Zero cal. error!
Please retry cal.
<OK> cont. <ST> stop
What to Do: a] press the
ST key
b] ensure the measuring system has been removed from the rheometer
c] retry zero point calibration - if error occurs again, this is an indication
of a fault in the measuring instrument
Cause: The maximum torque has been exceeded during a measurement. Pos-
sible reasons:
a] the measuring range is inappropriate for the measured sample
b] the cone or plate spindle cannot rotate on the measuring plate
Example
Message ABORT:torque max!
Single measurement
total time: 60 s
total no. of MP: 10
What to Do: a] press the
OK key
b] check whether the measuring system has been fastened properly at the
rheometer
c] if fastened properly, select smaller shear rates or speeds for this mea-
surement or use a measuring system with a higher shear stress factor
ABORT: Torque Max
Zero Calibration Error
