III.2.1 Temperature Sensor
The connecting cable of the temperature sensor Pt 100 (100 ohm DIN alpha RTD) is inserted
into the socket labelled “Pt100” at the back side of the rheometer head.
III.2.2 AC Adapter
Do not use a power supply other than the AC adapter delivered by Brookfield for the R/S
CPS+ Rheometer.
Connect the AC adapter using a grounded plug to avoid electric
shock or damage to the system components!
Connecting the AC adapter:
- Turn the R/S-CPS+ Rheometer off with the “POWER” switch at the back side of
the instrument.
- Connect the RS-CPS+ power cord into the AC adapter.
- Insert the socket of the DC cable into the “DC” connector port at the back side of
the rheometer head.
- Plug the power cable into a grounded AC main socket.
- Turn the R/S-CPS+ Rheometer on.
The AC adapter should not remain connected to the main socket while the plug of the
DC cable is disconnected from the “DC” connector port at the back side of the rheometer
head.
III.2.3 Printer Connection
The printer can be connected directly to the printer port of the R/S CPS+ Rheometer when
measuring without PC support. You must pre-set “Printer” as the output device to print the
measured values during measurement. The printer should have a parallel printer interface.
- Turn off the rheometer using the “POWER” switch at back of the instrument.
- Insert the printer connecting cable into the “PRINTER” port on back of the in-
strument.
- Turn the R/S-CPS+ Rheometer on.
A standard parallel printer cable can be used to connect the printer to a PC. This cable is
supplied with the printer, in most cases. To print data values from the R/S CPS+ Rheometer,
any (parallel) printer which can operate in ASCII character mode may be used.
