Operator Instructions 1. INTRODUCTION The Brookfield RSO Rheometer is a rotational and oscillatory controlled-stress rheometer used in quality control, product development, and research. The measuring drive developed for this instrument utilizes a high precision dynamic drive system with an optical encoder for absolute position measurement of spindle deflection.
Laser Bar Code scanner in use. Avoid Direct Eye Exposure. Compressed Air in use. Class A instrument Repair service should only be performed by AMETEK Brookfield’s trained service team, see Appendix F: Warranty and Repair. 1. 6 Ergonomics Ensure your planned work area is at a comfortable height with a proper stool or seat.
Please check to be sure that you have received all components, and that there is no damage. If you are missing any parts, please notify AMETEK Brookfield or your local agent immediately. Any shipping damage must be reported to the carrier.
Always inspect the Power Cord for defects/damage before plugging it into an outlet. • Never use a damaged Power Cord. If necessary, contact AMETEK Brookfield or the au- thorized dealer from whom you purchased the instrument for a replacement Power Cord.

First, connect the PC-USB interface cable provided into the “PC” / USB-B socket on the back panel of the RSO Rheometer. Do not use any interface cable other than that provided by AMETEK Brookfield. Connect the other end of the cable to an unoccupied USB port on the computer. The device driver installs automatically.
5. 2 Ambient Conditions for Transport Always transport the RSO Rheometer in its original carton. Protect it against bumps and shocks. Save the original shipment container for future use (i.e., returning the instrument to AMETEK Brookfield or your local authorized dealer for calibration service).
The RSO Rheometer system is designed for long-term operation. The user can check measurement accuracy at any time. It is recommended that such measurements be performed with AMETEK Brookfield viscosity standard fluids (mineral oils). Instructions for this calibration process are detailed in Appendix B: Important guidelines when checking the instrument’s measurement accuracy include the following:...
• Refer to Appendix B: For complete details on calibration check procedures In case of instrument failure (or deviation from the mineral oil viscosity value), or should the instrument require repair, please contact AMETEK Brookfield or your local dealer. Only authorized service personnel may work on the control electronics, all acces-...
If such an incident happens, AMETEK Brookfield should be contacted. Please export the log files and send them to AMETEK Brookfield or your local authorized dealer so that we can reconstruct and resolve the issue. See section VI.8.2 Log.
If the viscosity value starts to drop, it may be due to shear heating. Record the viscosity reading 15 seconds after the test starts at this torque to minimize potential error. If the instrument fails when you repeat the calibration check, contact AMETEK Brookfield or your local authorized dealer. See Appendix E: Warranty and Repair.
