Connecting the System Interconnect Cable
The system interconnect cable synchronizes the timing of the Accela devices. The
interconnect cable has seven combicon connectors: three are labeled DETECTOR; two are
labeled PUMP; one has a small, A/S tag on its adjacent cable; and one has a small, M/S tag on
its adjacent cable (see
Figure 8
).
Figure 9
shows the connections to the system modules.

To connect the system interconnect cable
1. Plug one of the pump connectors with a yellow PUMP sticker into the 8-pin socket on
the back panel of the Accela Pump.
2. Plug the autosampler connector with the A/S tag on its adjacent cable into the left, 8-pin
socket on the back panel of the Accela Autosampler.
3. If your LC system contains an Accela PDA Detector, plug one of the detector connectors
with a blue DETECTOR sticker into the left, 8-pin socket on the back panel of the
detector.
IMPORTANT
You can use the older 5-connector version of the system interconnect cable
with Accela LC system. If you use the cable that has 5-combicon connectors, attach the
connector that has a blue, LC PUMP label to the Accela Pump.
