Overview
Normally the installation of your new system will be carried out by a member of the TA Instruments sales or
service staff, or their appointed agents, and it will be ready for you to use. However, should you need to install
or relocate the instrument, this chapter provides the necessary instructions.
Removing the Packaging
and Preparing for Installation
If needed, the first step is to carefully remove all items from any and all packaging. We recommend that you
retain all packaging materials in case the instrument has to be shipped back to TA Instruments at some point in
the future (for example, in the case of some upgrades).
Please follow these recommendations when you move or lift the instrument and its accessories:
•
Always remove the temperature control module from the rheometer before attempting to move it. Details on
how to do this can be found later in this section
(Smart Swap™).
•
When moving the rheometer, the air-bearing clamp
should always be in place, ensuring that the bearing
cannot be moved.
1. Insert the draw rod into the top of the rheometer.

2. Push the bearing clamp up
onto the draw rod. Hold it in
place while turning the knob at
the top in a clockwise direction.
CAUTION: Always hold the clamp and turn the knob - never the
other way round.
Toujours tenir la géométrie et tourner la molette - jamais le
contraire.
Models with Air Bearing Lock
If the AR 2000 you own has an air bearing lock, follow these
steps:
1.
Insert the draw rod into the top of the rheometer.
2.
Next, slide the bearing lock into place (you may need to
turn the shaft so that the flats line up with the lock.)
3.
Push the air-bearing clamp up onto the draw rod. Hold it in place while turning the
knob at the top in a clockwise direction
