Section 1 General Information

Figure 1: PT-Node unit

PT-Node is an adapter that connects up to two Pharma Test instruments simultaneously

to a network using a wired LAN or wireless Wi-Fi connection. This way you can print test

results from the instrument via your web browser on any local or network printer.

Furthermore, it is possible to transfer the test results from the instruments to external

systems in the same network.

If the instrument is used in any other way as described in the manual, the

integrated safety features may be affected and there could be the

possibility of injuries to the operator.
