Connecting The Contact Closure Cable - Thermo Scientific Agilent 1100 Series Getting Connected Manual

Connecting the Contact Closure Cable

Thermo Scientific
An external contact closure (trigger) cable relays the start signal from the Agilent LC module
to the Thermo Scientific mass spectrometer. One end of the cable has a DB15 connector and
the other end has a set of exposed wires.
Figure 7 shows the contact closure cable set up for a Thermo Scientific TSQ™ Series mass
spectrometer with a 2-pin connector. For ordering information, see
Communication Kit" on

Note The instrument control platform for the Thermo Scientific mass spectrometer must
be compatible with the LC Devices instrument control application, and the instrument
control application must be compatible with the Thermo Scientific application installed
on your data system computer. See the LC Devices
 To connect the contact closure cable to the mass spectrometer
1. Follow the procedure
2. Using an appropriate connector for the mass spectrometer, connect the white wire from
the contact closure cable to the Start In+ pin and the brown wire to the Start In– pin on
the mass spectrometer's input/output (I/O) panel
3. Connect the cable's DB15 plug to the RELAY CONTACTS socket located on the LC
module's installed contact interface board
