3.8 Temperature control
The DVNext Rheometer provides the ability to control the temperature of a connected AMETEK Brookfield
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 DVNext 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 AMETEK Brookfield.
When configured for control of a temperature control device, the DVNext may have two temperature inputs:
•
The temperature probe supplied with the DVNext (DVP-94Y, CPA-44PYZ, or SC4- 13RPY)
•
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 3-34).
DVNext is powered on. Be sure that
Choose Device Setup in the Settings menu. Choose Temperature and the Temperature menu will appear (see Figure
3-35). Temperature Offset is described in Section 4.4.
