Description

1

Main power switch (on/off control)

2

Fuse holder

3

Power-inlet connector

4

System Interlink port

Allows power on/off control for the detector from the Vanquish system base and device communication

For example, the interconnection between charged aerosol detector and pump enables direct communication in case of an operating issue. Certain problems in the charged aerosol detector cause an automatic stop of the pump flow to prevent a build-up of excess liquid inside the detector.

5

USB hub ("A" type connector)

Allows connection to other modules in the Vanquish system

6

USB (Universal Serial Bus) port ("B" type connector)

Allows connection to other modules in the Vanquish system or the computer on which the data management system is installed, such as the Chromeleon software

7

Rating plate, indicating the serial number, part number, module name, revision number (if any), and the line and fuse rating

8

Gas inlet

Allows connection to a gas supply

9

Gas exhaust

Allows connection to ventilation

TIP

Thermo Fisher Scientific recommends using the USB ports only as described above. If the USB ports are used for any other purpose, Thermo Fisher Scientific cannot ensure proper functionality.
