3.4 Connecting the Detector

3.4.1 General Information

Verify that Chromeleon is installed on the computer and that the license code is entered
before you connect the detector to the USB port on the Chromeleon computer and turn on
the detector power. Only if you install Chromeleon first, the detector is connected to the
computer and the USB driver for the detector is automatically loaded. The Windows
operating system can detect the detector when the power is turned on.

3.4.2 Connecting the USB Cable

Connect the detector to the Chromeleon computer via the USB port on the rear panel.
Select one of the following alternatives:
• Connect the detector directly to the USB port on the computer.
• Connect the detector to an internal USB port on the pump. Thermo Fisher Scientific
recommends connecting all modules to the pump, and then connecting the system to the
Chromeleon computer via only one connection (→ Fig. 8, page 33). If the system
includes a UV detector in addition to the fluorescence detector, Thermo Fisher Scientific
recommends connecting the UV detector directly to the Chromeleon computer.
Tip: The USB standard limits the USB cable length to 5 meters. Each USB device
can be separated from the PC or next USB hub by no more than 5 meters.
The following cable is available (provided in the accessories kit for the detector):
