III. Instrument Installation
In this section you will learn how to set up and use the R/S CPS+ Rheometer for the first mea-
surement, which include:
- Assembly of the R/S CPS+ Rheometer,
- Electric connections
- Installation of accessories such as thermostatting device, cooling device, and measuring
systems
- Hose connections
III.1 Mounting the Instrument
The R/S CPS+ Rheometer should be positioned on an even surface, such as a laboratory bench.
There should be enough room to easily handle the instrument. Beside the rheometer, place the
additional control unit PT-S (peltier temperature controller) to be installed for Models R/S CPS+
P1 and P2 and the controller for electrical heating EHR. Two cables connect the R/S CPS+ and
temperature controller. Exposure to direct sunlight and other heat sources is to be avoided in
order to ensure optimum temperature control.
III.2 Electrical Connections
Connections for the electrical components of the R/S-CPS+ Rheometer are located on the back
of the instrument.
