I.4 Battery Back-Up
When the Rheometer is turned off or there is a power failure, a built-in battery saves spindle
parameters (used to calculate centipoise, shear rate and shear stress), default settings and the test
data from the last program test run .
Battery life is greater than 10 years. The battery is replaceable by Brookfield Engineering Labs.
I.5 Set-Up
1) Place the upright rod into the hole at the front of the base. The rack gear and clamp assembly
should face the rear of the base (see Figure 1). The upright rod is held in place with the jam nut
which is attached from the bottom of the base. Tighten this nut with a suitable wrench (spanner).
