Sample Stage
52 H148850_3_003
9.1.4 Connecting the Data Cables
The sample stage does not contain any active components. It simply receives commands at
the serial port and relays them through the RX485 port.
• Connect the 9-pin serial cable to the COM 2 port on the autosampler or to the host PC.
Figure 9.7: Serial Connector on the Sample Stage
• Connect the other end of the serial cable to the RS232 port on the sample stage.
• Connect the supplied RS-485 serial cable between the sample stage and the TC3
temperature unit or to a second sample stage.
9.1.5 Connecting to a Power Source
The sample stage is powered by the supplied external power supply. Ensure that you position
the sample stage so that the location where the power supply cord plugs into it is easily
accessible (is not blocked) and it can be quickly disconnected if needed. In case of hazard,
the system should be disconnected from the power source.
Figure 9.8: Power Supply
• Check the plug on the power supply to verify that it is of the correct type for your country.
If necessary, snap the appropriate plug onto the power supply. If you need a different
plug, contact your local distributor or Teledyne CETAC Technologies.
• Plug the power supply into a power outlet.
• Plug the power supply into the connector on the sample stage.
