Connecting the System Together
Connecting the system together should present no problems, as long as you use instructions found in the
following sections.
Connecting the Rheometer
to the Electronics Control Box
The Electronics Control Box forms the link between the rheometer and
the computer. All the required processing is done within the control box.
The following steps should be followed to connect the two units together
(refer to Figure 5.3).
1. Push the female end of the Power cable into the Power port on the
back of the rheometer and the other end in the Power port on the
back of the control box (Cable A).
2. Push the D-type cable into the Signal port on the back of the rheom-
eter and connect the other end to the Signal port on the back of the
control box (Cable C).
Connecting the Computer
to the Electronics Control Box
The electronics control box and computer are connected via a single
RS232 cable, which is supplied with the system. One end of the cable
has a 9-pin female connector; the other end has a 9-pin male connector.
1. Push the 9-pin female connector into the 9-pin socket marked
'Computer' on the back plate of the controller (Cable B, Figure 5.3).
2. Push the 9-pin male connector into the serial port socket on the back
of the socket on the computer.
NOTE: You must configure the software for the appropriate communications port—refer to the
online help for instructions on how to do this.
