III.2.2 AC-Adaptor
The AC adaptor supplies R/S Rheometer with power.
Only the AC-adaptor delivered by BROOKFIELD with your Rheometer may be used for power
supply of R/S Rheometer.
The AC-adaptor may be inserted to the socket with corresponding grounding
only. Connect the AC adaptor only using the plug in a proper way grounded to
avoid electric shocks or damage of the system components. Pay attention also to
“Requirements to the mains cable” (see Appendix).
Connecting the AC-adaptor:
-
be sure that R/S Rheometer is switched off (mains switch “POWER” at the back side of the
instrument);
- insert the instrument connector of the mains cable into AC adaptor;
- insert the plug of DC cable into the connector “DC” at the back side of R/S Rheometer;
- insert the mains plug of the mains cable into a grounded socket;
- turn on the R/S Rheometer again.
The AC-adaptor should not remain connected to the mains socket during long time with
disconnected plug of the DC cable from the connector “DC” at the back side.
Before disconnecting R/S Rheometer from mains supply be sure that the Rheometer is switched
off.
III.2.3 Printer Connection
Printer can be connected directly to the interface connector of the R/S Rheometer when measuring
without PC support. You must preset “Printer” as output device to print the measuring values during
measurement (see Chapter 6).
You should use obligatory a printer with parallel “CENTRONICS” interface.
- Turn off the R/S Rheometer with the mains switch “POWER” at the back side.
- Insert the printer connecting cable into the connector “CENTRONICS” at the back side of
rheometer.
- Turn on R/S Rheometer again.
Standard printer cable (Printer ↔ PC) can be used as printer connecting cable. This cable is supplied
with the printer in most cases.
To print data-values from R/S Rheometer all printers can be used which are printing text in ASCII-mode.
III.2.4 Computer Connection
If the R/S Rheometer has to be used in “REMOTE” mode with PC support (Rheo-program package) or
with serial data-terminal for data logging it is necessary to connect the data link with the plug “RS232” at
the instrument back side.
-
Turn off the R/S Rheometer with the mains switch “POWER” at the back side.
- Turn off your computer system.
- Insert the data link into the plug “RS232” at the back side of the rheometer.
- Connect the other end of the data link with a free serial interface RS-232 (f.e. “COM2”) of your
computer.
- Turn on the R/S Rheometer and your computer system again.
