Assembling the system 2-15
Attaching the AC power cord
To attach the AC power cord:
1. Insert the D-shaped connector end of the power cord into the power
receptacle on the PrepLC controller rear panel (see the figure “Pump
interface cable and power cord locations” on page 2-14).
2. Insert the other end of the power cord into a wall outlet. For more
information, see “Voltage selections” on page 2-5.
Connecting IEEE-488 interfaces
These are the different types of IEEE-488 interface connections you can make
with the PrepLC controller:
• Making IEEE-488 connections with data systems
• Making IEEE-488 connections with external PowerLine devices
• Setting IEEE-488 addresses
• Performing the IEEE-488 startup sequence
IEEE-488 cables with data systems
When you control the Prep system from a Waters data system (MassLynx or
Empower workstations), use the IEEE-488 interface to receive information
from the data system. Set up the controller for gradient operation. The data
system operates as the system controller on the IEEE-488 interface.
To make IEEE-488 connections with data systems:
1. Connect the single receptacle end of the IEEE-488 cable (supplied with
either the Prep system or the Waters data system) to your data system
as follows:
• Empower workstation – Attach the cable to the busLAC/E™
(Laboratory Acquisition and Control/Environment) card (see the
figure “Stacked IEEE-488 connections in a Waters workstation” on
page 2-16).
• MassLynx workstation – Attach the cable to the GPIB (IEEE)
card (see the figure “IEEE-488 connections in a Waters data network”
on page 2-16).
