III.2 Electrical Connections
Connections for the electrical components of the R/S Rheometer are located at the instrument back
side:
Centronics
RS232
Power Pt 100 DC
Any cables from and to R/S Rheometer can be connected or disconnected only
when instrument is switched off!
III.2.1 Temperature Sensor Pt100
The connecting cable of the temperature sensor Pt100 is inserted into connector “Pt100“ at the back
side of the R/S Rheometer.
The Pt100 used is dependent upon measuring system device.
If you use standard cylindric measuring cups (MB-CC45...CC8) for measurements, put the sensor
Pt100 into Pt100 clamp fixture and fix it parallel to the measuring system at mounting flange of the R/S
Rheometer with the help of knurled-head screw.
Fig. 3: Pt100 connection and mounting
Insert the plug of Pt100 temperature sensor into
the connector “Pt100” at the back side of the
Rheometer.
As the viscosity is a function of the temperature, the temperature should be measured preferly in the
measuring substance. For this purpose, the standard measuring systems CC45...CC8 DIN can be
equipped with a Pt100 in measuring cup bottom (only in connection with FTK-CC). If you use a
measuring system with built-in Pt100, insert the cable “VK-MB“ there. With this option you can measure
the substance temperature directly.
