The procedure depends on the system configuration:

System configuration

Follow these steps

The charged aerosol detector is the only detector in the Vanquish system

Follow the instructions in the Vanquish System Operating Manual to set up the USB and system interlink connections in the system.

The charged aerosol detector is the second detector in the Vanquish system, for example, after a diode array detector

Set up the USB and system interlink connections as follows (see picture below this table for the complete USB and system interlink connections):

  1. Follow the instructions in the Vanquish System Operating Manual to connect the other modules in the system up to the diode array detector.

  2. Connect the "B" connector of a USB cable to the USB port on the charged aerosol detector, and connect the "A" connector of the USB cable from the charged aerosol detector to the USB hub on the diode array detector.

  3. Connect the "A" connector of the USB cable from the diode array detector to a USB port (2.0 or higher) on the computer.

  4. Connect one end of the system interlink cable to the free System Interlink port on the diode array detector, and the other end to a System Interlink port on the charged aerosol detector.

  5. Connect one end of the system interlink cable to the free System Interlink port on the charged aerosol detector, and the other end to a System Interlink port on the column compartment.

This picture shows the USB and system interlink connections if the charged aerosol detector is the second detector in the system, for example, after a diode array detector.
