Making Connections
The following are needed to make connections:
• 2-conductor cable (20–26 gauge for each wire)
• wire insulation stripper
A 6-foot piece of suitable cable (part number 709910206) is available
for purchase from Gilson.
To make connections with the 2-conductor cable:
1 Cut the cable into pieces of appropriate length.
2 Strip about 8 mm of insulation from each end of the cable.
3 Remove the terminal block connector from the pump.
4 Press in the spring-loaded retainer for the appropriate terminal
on the terminal block connector. Insert each wire into the
appropriate terminal on the terminal block connector and then
release the spring-loaded retainer.
5 Reconnect the terminal block connector to the liquid handler.
Push the connector in as far as it will go. It is designed to fit
snugly into its receptacle.
6 Connect the opposite ends of the wires to the other device(s). Be
sure to match ground connections.
7 Label each cable to identify the purpose of the connection.
