Andor Technology iXon Ultra 897 User Manual page 22

Connect the elements of your system as follows:
• Plug your PC into the mains outlet to ensure grounding, but keep the power
switched off.
• Connect the Detector Head to the Controller Card using the Cable provided.
The 36-way connectors on the cable are polarized so that there is only one way of
installing the cable. It is important that this cable is securely fastened to provide a
good grounding between the detector head and Controller Card.
Your system has been supplied with a Power Supply Block (PSB) for cooling.
The PSB connects to the detector head via a 2.1mm Jack plug, and to the mains
electricity supply with a standard three-pin plug, or the equivalent plug for your
location. There is only one socket on the detector head that the PSB can be
connected to. For best performance the PSB should be plugged into the same
power source as the computer.
