IV.4 Temperature Control

TheDV3TRheometerprovidestheabilitytocontrolthetemperatureofaconnectedBrookeld

temperaturecontroldevicesuchastheThermosel(HT-106controller)andwaterbathswithSDor

APcontrollers(forexample:TC-550SD).TheThermoselorwaterbathcanthenbeusedtocontrol

thetemperatureofthesampleundertest.

TheDV3Tconnectstothetemperaturecontroldevicethroughadedicatedcommunicationcable.

TheThermoselrequirescableDVP-141.ThewaterbathsrequirecableDVP-207.Thesecables

areavailablefromBrookeld.

Whenconguredforcontrolofatemperaturecontroldevice,theDV3Tmayhavetwotemperature

inputs:

1)thetemperatureprobesuppliedwiththeDV3T(DVP-94Y,CPA-44PYZ,orSC4-13RPY)

and

2)thetemperatureprobesuppliedwiththetemperaturecontroldevice(waterbathorThermosel).

Onlyonetemperatureprobecanbeusedfordisplayoflivetemperature,control,anddatacollection.

SelecttheprobetobeusedintheTemperaturemenu(seeFigureIV-3).

TIP:EmbeddedtemperatureprobesusedwiththeCone/PlateandSmallSampleAdaptercanbe

usedforsetpointcontrolofawaterbath.Makingthisselectioncanimprovethetemperature

controlofthesamplebyoffsettingthetemperaturebathtoaccountforanyheatlossin

thetubingor waterjacket.Tousethe embeddedtemperatureprobeselectProbeinthe

Temperaturemenu.

Temperature control must be initiated each time the DV3T is powered on.  Be sure that the

temperaturecontroldeviceispoweredonpriortoinitiatingcommunication.ChooseDeviceSetup
