Assembling the system
This section explains how to connect the Rheodyne injectors and the optional
M-1000 PrepPak module to the controller and the controller to the fluid
handling unit. It also describes additional, rear panel connections.
Ensure the voltage, frequency, and fuse selections match the power source as
outlined in “Voltage selections” on page 2-5.
The terminal strips, shipped with the controller, are attached to the terminal
strip receptacles. The top and bottom terminal strips are marked for
corresponding receptacles.
Connecting Rheodyne injectors
The Rheodyne injector generates a signal output as it injects the sample.
Connect the cable for this output to the Inject terminal on the controller’s rear
panel.
Tip: Cable polarity is irrelevant.
PrepLC system
To connect the Rheodyne injectors:
1. Plug the inject signal cable (Startup Kit) into the Rheodyne injector’s
electrical connector. The figure “Injector electrical connector” on
page 2-8 illustrates the location of the injector’s electrical connector.
Route the cable along the top of the shelf and through the hole at the
rear of the top tray.
2. Connect the two leads from the inject signal cable to the Inject and Gnd
terminals.
Caution: Externally generated voltages can damage the instrument.
Shorting the 12-VAC terminal to ground or and event output causes the
+12 VAC fuse to blow.
