Startup and Shutdown Procedures
Starting Up the Rheometer
Follow the steps below to start the rheometer:
NOTE: This assumes that the rheometer has already been correctly installed.
1 Check that the air supply is turned on.
2 Remove bearing clamp if fitted.
3 Turn on fluid circulation, if required for correct operation of the installed temperature system.
4 Power on the system by pressing the power switch on the electronics box to the On (I) position. Refer
to Figure 20
for power switch location.
5 Connect to rheometer via the software.
Shutting Down the Rheometer
Follow the steps below to shut down the rheometer:
1 Turn off the power to the system by pressing the power switch on the electronics box to the Off (0)
position. Refer to Figure 20
for power switch location.
2 Turn off any fluid circulation.
3 Fit the air bearing clamp if it is likely that the bearing will be disturbed while the air is off. In the case
of the EHP, UHP, and ETC (doors closed), simply removing the draw rod should be sufficient to protect
the bearing unless the instrument is going to be moved.
NOTE: It is recommended that the air be left on and that the bearing remain unclamped.
4 Turn off the air supply.
