500 Prepared by Fred A. Mazzeo Guide to Setting Up the Rheoete! Out"in e 1. Turn on the computer controller. 2. Always make sure that the air supply is turned on to the rheometer. 3. Remove the black bearing lock by holding it in place while turning the draw rod knob at the top in a counter-clockwise direction. Once the bearing lock is removed, make sure that the spindle rotates freely. NOTE: hen using the AR!""", please ensure that the drive-shaft slide lock is pulled-out. 4. Turn on the power to the instrument and, if present, the #T$ controller. NOTE: %f step & is performed before step ', an alarm will sound and the instrument controller display will read (optical init. fail). At this point *ust follow step ' and the alarm will stop. 5. +lease ensure that the water supply is turned on. 6. hen instrument has ,nished the system check, turn on the instrument control software. 7. -o to the Instrument Status Page to make certain that communication has been established between the computer and the instrument. 8. #n$t!uent #ne!ti%& .etermine the instrument inertia by selecting Options>Instrument>Inertia and run the (calibrate) wi/ard. 9.

Geoet!*& Attach test geometry by holding it in place while turning the draw rod knob at the top in a counter- clockwise direction. $hoose the appropriate geometry, if the ,le already e1ists 2'eometr(>Open)3, or create a new geometry by selecting 'eometr(>*e+, and follow the guide. 11.

M%pping& +erform a mapping on the geometry by using the icon or use Instrument>apping. 0elect either the number of iterations or mapping type within the icon dialog window 2Rheology Advantage '."3 or under Options>Settings>apping and Options>Instrument>iscellaneous% apping -(pe, respectively. a. 7apping only needs to be performed when using a 8ow procedure and when the lower two decades of tor9ue is necessary for data ac9uisition. b. The number of iterations should be set greater than one when testing a very low viscosity material. hen performing a $reep procedure the number of iterations should be set to &, if the Recovery step is set to /ero. Otherwise, setting the number of iterations greater than three has diminishing returns in the mapping performance. c. The mapping type can be set to fast, standard or precision. %t is recommend that (standard) should be selected for most materials, but for more critical measurements, (precision) mapping is more suited. 13. Tepe!%tu!e S*$te Se"e)tion& 0elect the temperature system and attach the appropriate bottom assembly. a. :or AR4"""56""5;$R instruments, the temperature read and control must be set to the appropriate temperature system. This is accomplished by choosing Options>Instrument>-emperature% -emperature .ea" and -emperature ,ontrol setting both to (+eltier), if using the +eltier +late, or (Temperature 0ystem) if any other system is being used. b. This selection is not necessary for the AR!""". 14. G%p Copen$%tion& %f you have the normal force option, you can obtain the gap compensation value by using the gap compensation wi/ard located in the 'eometr( Page>Settings 2Rheology Advantage '."3 or by performing an oscillation temperature ramp 2tor9ue of ".4 <m = a fre9uency of 4 >/ conducted at a ramp rate of !?$5min3 under normal force control 24< @5- ".4, 4""" m up5down, compression3 and then ,t a straight line to the graph of -ap vs. Temperature. The slope must be then entered in the Options>Instrument>-emperature% -emperature ,alibration region within the cell located to the right of the appropriate temperature system if not using the calibration wi/ard. The gap compensation check bo1 should be activated located !56 within the Options>Instrument>-emperature dialog window. %f the <ormal :orce option is unavailable, then predetermined values must be entered. NOTE: The gap compensation value must be set to /ero before this step is performed. NOTE: %f controlling normal force throughout an e1periment, the gap compensation value is recommended to be activated. NOTE: -ap $ompensation needs only to be used when testing over a temperature range. 15. +e!o G%p& Aero the gap by choosing the /ero gap icon , or by selecting Instrument>'ap>/ero 'ap and follow the directions on screen. a. %f e9uipped with normal force, there are two options that one can used to /ero the gap, deceleration or normal force. -enerally, the normal force method is recommended. This choice is made in the Options>Instrument>'ap>'ap /ero o"e% *ormal 0orce. 0et the value e9ual to 4 <. NOTE: The upper geometry should be at the testing temperature before /eroing the gap. This will account for the change in dimensions due to the coeBicient of thermal e1pansion of the testing geometry5system. 16. ,!o)edu!e& 0et up procedure by selecting the appropriate ,le, if previously created, by choosing Proce"ure>Open or create a new procedure by selecting Proce"ure>*e+.
