System Connections for a Detector
Lynx II DSA User's Manual – 7096089 63
Basic Detector Setup Using Lynx II
A basic detector system (except for the user interface and the Lynx II AC power adapter)
has four connecting cables: a 9-pin preamp power cable, an SHV-SHV cable, and two
BNC-BNC cables. A third BNC-BNC cable may also be required in some instances. The
optional ICR requires an MCX cable.
• The detector cables discussed in Preamplifier Power and High Voltage Power
Supply sections below will connect only to the specified connectors on the preamp
and the Lynx II.
• Both the Energy and HV INH BNC cables have the same type of connector; either
of them can be used for the connection described.
Preamplifier Power
Connect the cable with the 9-pin male connector between your preamplifier's POWER
connector and the Lynx II's PREAMP connector.
The PREAMP connector includes a bail mechanism to secure the preamplifier's power
cable to the Lynx II unit.

Note: Your preamp's connectors may be accessible either on the preamp's rear panel or at
the ends of the “pigtail” cables attached to the preamp.
High Voltage Power Supply
The HVPS options depend on your detector and your acquisition setup. The connector
below shows the detail of the SHV connector end found on a cable used for the High
Voltage Power Supply connection.
• If your detector requires, and you've configured the Lynx II to supply positive high
voltage, connect the SHV cable between the preamp's HV INPUT connector and
the Lynx II's HV+ connector.
