Earlier model baths with programmable Brookfield Controllers will also work.
The DVP-141 cable is used to connect the serial port on the DV-III Ultra base to the serial port on
the controller. This cable is supplied with the controller/bath.
Be sure that the controller temperature probe is properly located in the control device (Thermosel
or bath) and connected to the controller.
Note: 1. The controller may alternately communicate with Rheocalc V.2.0 or
higher software. In this configuration, the controller is connected to the
computer through either Com Port 1 or Com Port 2 by using the DVP-80
cable. The DV-III Ultra can also be connected to a computer through
the USB Port by using the DVP-202 cable.
2. The controller must also be connected to the control device (Thermosel
or bath) with the appropriate load cable.
