3.1
Printer Port
The LabTec™ can be connected to a PC for data collection or to a Parker Printer via the female
DB9 RS-232 port labeled “Printer”. You need a Parker RS-232 cable
(P/N 080-073) to connect to a PC for data archival.
Alternatively, a USB cable (090-158) may be used. A printer cable (080-096) is required to make
the connection between the Parker serial printer and the LabTec™. As both are
available, one
may gather data in both methods simultaneously.
3.2
Scale Ports
The male DB9 ports labeled “S1”, “S2” and “S3” are RS-232 ports for electronic scales. For the
LabTec™, only S1 is used. (Please do not remove the covers on the unused ports.) This port
allows you to interface with a number of different electronic scales: i.e. Mettler, Ohaus, and
Sartorius top-loading scales. The following scale cables are required:
•
Mettler: PGS, PM, Viper Models: P/N: 080-067PGS
•
Mettler: ICS425 Series: P/N: 080-072ICS
•
Ohaus: GT, “Precision Advanced” & STET “Explorer” & “Voyager” Models: P/N: 080-066
•
Ohaus: IP Series High Capacity: P/N: 080-067
•
Ohaus: Adventurer Series: P/N: 080-067PGS
•
Sartorius: Most Series Scales : P/N: 080-068
In the LabTec™ Setup: Scale mode, select the scale manufacturer; the LabTec™ will automatically
implement the correct communications parameters. Check that the proper communications
parameters are also implemented in the scale being used.
3.3
Pressure Sensor Ports
RJ11 jacks for the SciPres
®
pressure sensors, labeled “P1”, “P2”, and “P3”. The pressure sensors
plug into these jacks using the included cables. The LabTec™ uses only one sensor, any of the
three may be chosen as the source location.
3.4
Temperature Sensor Port
The SciTemp
®
Temperature Sensor connects to this port with a twist-lock connector cable
(P/N: 080-609). Temperature is measured in degrees Celsius.
3.5
Valve V Port
Not used in conjunction with the LabTec™.
3.6
USB Port
Used for connection to a PC, providing a Com Port. Can be used for data collection as an
alternative to the Printer port. The driver is included on the USB thumb drive that contains
this manual.
3.7
Ethernet Port
Reserved for future development, Non-functional.
