2.3 Detector Connection and Setup
Connect the detector to its calibration module as shown in Figure 3. The
detector’s model and serial numbers must match the model and serial
numbers found on the calibration module. Insert the calibration module,
with its groove facing left, into the connector port on the front panel of the
1830-C, as shown in Figure 4. An alignment pin assures the proper orienta-
tion of the calibration module.
