Read and understand the caution notices in this topic before you make the electrical connections as described in the following procedure.

CAUTION

Avoid an electric shock and equipment damage

  • Before you begin the installation, verify that the Main Power switch is placed in the Off position (down) and that the Electronics switch is placed in the Service Mode position (down).
  • The AC Output receptacle on the MS is not used during the installation. Do not plug the forepump power cord (or any other device) into this receptacle.
  • Read the warning label on the forepump. When you disconnect the forepump’s power cord from the electrical outlet do not touch the plug’s pins for at least 5 minutes to allow time for the voltage potential to dissipate.
  • Verify that the voltage selector switch on the syringe pump is set to the appropriate voltage (110 V or 220 V) for your country or territory.

CAUTION

Safety and EMC regulations require the use of Category 5e shielded Ethernet communication cables with a maximum length of 3 m (10 ft).

CAUTION

Trip hazard

Route all cables and power cords so that it is not a trip hazard.

 

The following figure shows the connections between the system components.

NOTE

  • Not all connections are shown.
  • You must provide a USB hub to accommodate any additional USB connection to the MS. For example, if you have an API source that contains the optional APPI lamp.

IMPORTANT

Plug the MS power cord and forepump power cord into separate dedicated electrical outlets (230 Vac); that is, circuits A and B.

Procedure

  1. If required (such as when using a Vanquish Neo or FAIMS Pro system, connect an Ethernet cable from the Ethernet switch to the LC/MS Ethernet port on the instrument computer.
  2. Connect an Ethernet cable from the Ethernet switch to the Ethernet port on the MS.
  3. (Not shown) Connect the contact closure cable (Start In and Ground pins) and ready out cable (not provided) between the MS and the external device.
  4. Connect a USB cable from the syringe pump to the USB port on the MS.
  5. Connect a USB cable from the divert/inject valve to the USB splitter adapter. Then, connect the USB splitter adapter to the USB port on the MS.
  6. Connect a relay control cable to a Y-adapter on the forepump. Then connect the remaining end to the V65 Pump Enable connector on the MS.
  7. Connect a communication cable adapter (RS485 to USB) to the Y-adapter on the forepump. Then, connect the remaining end to the USB splitter adapter.

  8. NOTE

    Detailed pump status and pump health information is available from the Tune application Status pane (select Peripheral Devices → Foreline Pump).

  9. Connect a power cord between the forepump and a dedicated electrical outlet (230 Vac). Then, turn on the main power switch on the rear of the forepump.
  10. Connect the power cords for the instrument computer, Ethernet switch, optional divert/inject valve, syringe pump, and MS.

  11. NOTE

    If the divert/inject valve's LED remains off, press the Remote button on the front of the valve housing to exit Local mode.
