Device Connectors
The following connectors are provided on the device:
No. | Description |
---|---|
1 | Rating plate, indicating the serial number, part number, module name, revision number (if any), line and fuse rating, and the manufacturer's address |
2 | Main power switch (on/off control) |
3 | Fuse holder |
4 | Power-inlet connector |
5 | System Interlink port Allows power on/off control for the detector from the Vanquish system base and device communication and synchronization between the detector and other modules in the Vanquish system. For example, the interconnection between autosampler and detector automatically enables direct synchronization of sample inject and data acquisition start in the detector. As a result, the synchronization improves the retention time reproducibility. |
6 | Digital I/O ports (Dig I/O ) Allow exchange of digital signals with external instruments Each digital I/O port provides one input and one relay output. For connection and pin assignment information, see Digital I/O. |
7 | USB hub ("A"-type connector) Allows connection to other modules in the Vanquish system |
8 | 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 |
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.
