Introduction to the Autosampler
Electrical Connections
This connector needs to be activated by the configuration switch
module next to the GPIB connector. The software needs the appropriate
drivers to support this communication. See your software
documentation for further information.
• The Thermostat-Autosampler connection (only on thermostatted
autosampler) is used for control signal transfer and synchronization of
the two modules. The cable must be installed for operation of the ALS
thermostat.
WARNING DO NOT disconnect or reconnect the autosampler to ALS thermostat
cable when the power cords are connected to either of the two modules.
This will damage the electronics of the modules.
• The power input socket accepts a line voltage of 100–120 or
220–240 volts AC ± 10 % with a line frequency of 50 or 60 Hz. There is no
voltage selector on your autosamplers because the power supply has
wide-ranging capability. There are no externally accessible fuses,
because automatic electronic fuses are implemented in the power
supply. The security lever at the power input socket prevents that the
autosamplers cover is taken off when line power is still connected.
• The interface board slot is used for external contacts, BCD output and
for future use.
