With the Multicast Printer that is available as an accessory you can document the most important
casting parameters for quality assurance if the centrifuge arm for electric melting is used.
The casting protocols that are printed out contain the parameters of alloy, alloy quantity, batch,
furnace temperature and casting speed. Additionally, the laboratory name, date and time are
automatically entered into the casting protocol.
The Multicast Printer is connected with the Multicast compact via a special interface
screwed firmly to the housing. Please observe the separate instructions for assembly. It is
prepared to receive the control element (figure 5). It is also possible to connect commercially
available, ASCII-compatible printers with a serial port to the Multicast compact via the integrated
serial interface.
Prior to connecting the printer, switch off the Multicast compact and connect the printer to the
casting unit. First switch on the printer and then the Multicast compact and select the external
casting protocol as described in chapter 3.7.
