Setting up the 280-DS
Cable Connections
1
Connect the USB cable from the USB port on the Instrument Module to a USB
port on the measurement computer.
2
Connect the 280-DS Vessel Module to the Instrument Module via the module
intercommunication cable.
3
Optionally, connect the measurement computer to the dissolution apparatus
using a 9/25 pin RS-232 cable (
“Preparing the Dissolution Apparatus”
page 42).
Power Cord Connections
1
Connect or verify connection of the AC power cord between the power
receptacle on the PC and an AC electrical supply of the appropriate voltage. If
using a laptop, the 280-DS can also be used when the laptop is on battery
power.
NOTE
The online testing mode provides direct communication between
the dissolution apparatus and the 280-DS Workstation software.
This feature is only available for Agilent, Varian, or VanKel
dissolution apparatus models.
For PCs without a 9-pin serial port, a USB-to-Serial adapter may be
configured and used to communicate with the dissolution
apparatus.
NOTE
Please ensure your computer’s battery is appropriately charged
before using the 280-DS on battery power. The 280-DS draws
power from the computer connected to it and will drain the battery
faster than normal.
